Effects of a specific model of training on body coposition of judo athletes of younger senior age

Abstract

The goal of a coach is to prepare an appropriate model of training for their athletes and provide adequate and healthy way of regulating their body weight. On a sample of 32 judo athletes of younger senior age on the territory of the city of BanjaLuka and municipality of Laktaši, a specific model of training was applied for a period of ten weeks and the judo athletes were divided into two groups. One group was the control group, and other was experimental. The experimental group has implemented 60 training sessions, of which 40 judo trainings (25 technical-tactical and 15 situational judo trainings-randoria) and 20 trainings with the load (50-80% of 1 RM). In this period, the control group worked only judo trainings or 40 training sessions. Statistical analysis of the results is divided into two segments-the descriptive statistics and application of methods of the inferential statistics. The initial and final measurements of body composition of groups were conducted by the bioelectrical impedance(BIA method), and the two-component(2C) model was used for this work-which divides the whole body in total body fat (fat mass) and non-fat body mass (fat-free mass). From the field of descriptive statistics on the level of the entire sample, the central and dispersion parameters were calculated. The methods of inferential statistics used in this study were t-test for dependent and independent samples and analysis of covariance. The values of percentage of body fat in the experimental group, which was exposed to a specific training process for a period of ten weeks, were notably statistically reduced during this period.Value of body fat from an initial 23.10% after the training protocol, decreased to 20.41%, on the .01 level of significance. Values of the percentage of body fat in the control group were kept on the same, higher level than recommended for judo, even after the training, pointing to the effects of their less successful training protocol.

“…It is well known that most fighters tend to lower body weight before the competition to gain an advantage over rivals lighter (Artioli, Franchini, & Lancha Junior, 2010). Consequently, the priority for the athletes and coaches will be the use of adequate and not harmful to health method for controlling body weight (Rañević, 2012). Unfortunately, the authors did not reveal any significant scientific papers of Russian scientists devoted to the problems of recruiting and weight loss in judo fighters during the monitoring period.…”

“…Most Russian scientists consider as a priority the individualization (the development of the individual characteristics that determine the level of physical, technical and tactical training) training process for the formation of competitive readiness of wrestlers. Foreign experts have focused their research on ways to increase the number of attacking technical actions (Adam, & Wolska, 2016), and control over the mass of athletes body (Rañević, 2012;Artioli, Franchini, & Lancha Junior, 2010). It should be noted that in matters of the need to use objective methods of control over the load level obtained by athletes in training, the opinions of Russian scientists and their foreign colleagues are the same.…”
