“…It was based on standardized sets of throws involving sparring partners using the seoinage technique. The advantages of the use of the test have been described in several publications emphasizing its effectiveness in the assessment of special preparation of judo competitors (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42).The method of performing the test was as follows. After a 5-minute warm-up and performing the ippon-seoi-nage throws several times at a slow pace, three exercise periods (A: 15 s; B and C: 30 s each) were performed, separated by 10-second breaks.…”

Background: Measurements of physical fitness indices obtained in laboratory tests using an ergometer or a treadmill are very accurate, but they involve selected groups of muscles and do not reproduce the structure of the sport-specific exercise in judo. For this reason, researchers seek for the tests that use movements similar to the characteristic offensive techniques used during competitions (i.e. throwing). The most commonly recommended is the seoi-nage throwing test, known as SJFT (special judo fitness test).The aim of the study was to develop a new test in which uke is replaced by a dummy, in order to reduce the injury rate and ensure the safety of the participants.Methods: During the 3-week period, competitors from different weight classes performed at the beginning and then after the 2-week period one 1-minute series of continual dummy throws using the o-goshi technique and the seoi-nage technique. Post-exercise physiological responses (heart rate [HR] and blood lactate levels [La]) were evaluated.Results: Significant improvements were reported in o-goshi performance level after the training period. Physiological responses to exercise did not change significantly after training sessions. On both measurement days, post-exercise La levels were similar for o-goshi and seoi-nage throws, whereas post-exercise HR was significantly greater after seoi-nage throws.Conclusions: The dummy throwing test can be a recommended alternative to uke throwing due to the elimination of the risk of injuries to practising athletes.

“…Furthermore, the SJFT can distinguish between athletes at different levels of performance ( Franchini et al, 2009 ), and correlates with cardiorespiratory ( Garbouj et al, 2016 ) and neuromuscular fitness levels ( Boguszewska et al, 2010 ). HRV also relates to training status ( Hedelin et al, 2001 ), and it is hypothesized that HRV indices could indicate the performance level of judo athletes while using a valid test for the modality.…”

Judo is a high-intensity intermittent combat sport which causes cardiac adaptations both morphologically and related to the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Therefore, this study aims to verify the correlation between heart rate variability (HRV) at rest with performance in the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) and whether groups with different RR values at rest show different performance in the SJFT and during post-test recovery. Sixteen judo athletes with 7.2 ± 3.9 years of training experience participated in the study. Before and after the SJFT execution HRV and lactate measurements were conducted. For HRV analysis, we used the mean interval RR, the standard deviation of the RR interval (SDNN), the root mean square of successive differences in RR intervals (RMSSD), the low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) in normalized and absolute units. The sample was split into two groups (low RR and high RR) to verify if this variable could differentiate between specific performance. For the SDNN, a significant and moderate correlation (r = 0.53) was found with the total number of throws and throws in the series A (r = 0.56) and B (r = 0.54) and for the RMSSD a correlation with throws during series B (r = 0.59) in the SJFT. However, the groups did not differ in performance and recovery. Therefore, HRV is related to intermittent judo performance; however, it cannot differentiate between judokas at different levels of performance.

“…), special fitness tests have been used to evaluate athletic performance (Sterkowicz, 1995;Utter et al, 1997;Franchini et al, 2005;Eyuboğlu, Aslan, & Koz, 2015). For example, in the judo, the special judo fitness test (SJFT) is commonly used to evaluate judo-specific performance (Franchini, Vecchio, & Sterkowicz, 2009;Casals et al, 2016;Eyuboğlu & Özkan, 2016;Garbouj et al, 2016). Although judo and wrestling have different rules, these branches are two different Olympic sports branches, partly based on similar basic techniques.…”

A new approach to Special Judo Fitness Test index: Relative index

Although judo and wrestling have different rules, these branches are two different Olympic sports branches, partly based on similar basic techniques. For example; the technique called "Ippon-SeoiNage" (one shoulder throw) in judo is mechanically the same as the technique called "Arm Throw" in wrestling. The aim of this study was to gain relative special judo fitness test (SJFT) index with a new approach to the SJFT index used in the literature. The maximum number of "arm throw" is required from wrestlers during the tests. The test consists of 3 sets. The sets are 15 sec, 30 sec, and 30 sec, respectively, and rest between the sets is 10 seconds. The heart rate of the wrestlers has recorded at the end of each set of the test and 1 minute after. The wrestlers were classified as the elite and sub-elite group and also as weight classification. Statistical analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test. There is no statistical difference between elite and sub-elite female wrestlers according to heart rate, the number of "arm throw", SJFT index, and relative SJFT index. On the other hand, there is a statistical difference in relative SJFT index according to weight classifications. Accordingly, lightweight wrestlers have highest relative SJFT index than the other groups. As a result of this study, there was no difference in the weight categories of the wrestlers according to the SJFT index, whereas there was a difference in the weight categories of the wrestlers according to the relative SJFT index. The use of the relative SJFT index to determine the difference between the weight categories will provide more accurate results for performance evaluation.
