“…Furthermore, anxiety control and emotional intelligence are necessary not only on the day of competition but also in the preparation period, when athletes have to manage their weight and deal with a stressful training program (Merino Fernández et al, 2020 ). Previous studies have to some extent identified the variables that can be considered as KPIs for judo performance; these including weight management (Escobar-Molina et al, 2016 ; Thomson et al, 2017 ; Gallot et al, 2019 ), level of strength (Ache Dias et al, 2012 ; Franchini et al, 2019 ), technical and tactical skills (Weigelt et al, 2011 ; Bocioaca, 2014 ; Miarka et al, 2020 ), level and direction of motivation (Gillet et al, 2010 ; Boughattas et al, 2017 ; Oliveira et al, 2018 ), nutrition (Artioli et al, 2019 ), capacity for focus and attention (Yahija, 2010 ; Jacini et al, 2012 ; Mihailescu and Sava, 2013 ; Toh et al, 2018 ; Campos Faro et al, 2020 ), sleep habits (Chtourou et al, 2018 ; Knowles et al, 2018 ; Vlahoyiannis et al, in press ), speed (Almansba et al, 2008 ), and level of conditioning capacity (aerobic and anaerobic; Detanico et al, 2012 ; Franchini et al, 2014 , 2016 ; Hesari et al, 2014 ; Anthierens et al, 2016 ).…”

“…It is possible to find within the scientific literature studies that have dealt with linking judo KPIs with performance. Some authors have investigated the impact of weight loss on performance (Artioli et al, 2010 ; Fortes et al, 2017 ), while others have analyzed how the time of day influences explosive performance and psychological variables in elite judokas (Chtourou et al, 2018 ). The relationship between technical-tactical behaviors (Miarka et al, 2017 ) and physical capacities (Kons et al, 2018 ) has also been a focus of attention.…”

Improving on Half-Lightweight Male Judokas' High Performance by the Application of the Analytic Network Process

Judo is a multifactorial sport where many variables or key performance indicators (KPIs) such as force-velocity profile, bioenergetic capacity, technical and tactical skills, and cognitive and emotional competence play a role and influence the final result. While there have been many academic studies of these variables, usually in isolation, none have examined KPIs holistically or analyzed their impact on strategic performance. The main objective of the present study, therefore, is to apply a novel and easily replicable methodology to identify and prioritize the main KPIs affecting performance in professional judo. Such a methodology was applied to the High-Performance Judo Centre of Valencia, using a multi-criteria decision aid technique: the analytic network process (ANP). The ANP is used to identify and quantify cause and effect relationships not only between KPIs but also between KPIs and performance objectives. Further, the ANP offers effective results when there is a lack of historical KPI data, because it is based on experts' opinions and judgments. A judo expert group (JEG) comprising elite judo coaches and half-lightweight (under 66 kg) male judokas applied the methodology to discriminate between the characteristics required when aiming to reach high-level strategic objectives (such as participating in the Olympic Games or winning a medal in a Grand Slam/Gran Prix). The JEG, which consisted of five elite judokas, national and international champions, and three Olympic coaches—including a former European champion and silver medalist in a world championship—provided high added value to the study. The main findings were that the KPIs that made the most difference were mostly psychological, specifically motivation, stress, and team cohesion. Of these, motivation was by far the most important KPI for success in our case study, so judokas should make sure that they analyze it properly. Motivation is usually intrinsic to the competitor and should be maintained at a high level, not only during tournaments but also during daily training and lifestyle activities. Physical and other specific forms of training, as well as lifestyle KPIs, are very important for the elite competitor but are not sufficient to reach high-level objectives. The most important of these KPIs were Kumi-Kata (grip work), dual career, focus and concentration level, scouting, nutrition, and basic technique. Power and strength were the most important physical KPIs. In general, these are essential for meeting strategic objectives, but they do not make the crucial difference. This suggests that professional psychological support should be provided in daily training and that international team composition and internships should be fostered.

This study aimed at verifying the structural validity of cultural intelligence scale among two samples from Egypt and Yemen of university students. The pilot sample consisted of 236 university students (90 Egyptians, 146 Yemenis) to verify the psychometric properties of the scale. The main sample consisted of 997 male and female students, including (481) Egyptian male and female students, (516) Yemeni male and female. The cultural intelligence scale was administered to the participants. Using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the results showed good indicators of the structural validity for the scale. The scale items were saturated on four latent factors (cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, and behavioral) for the total sample, and for each of the Egyptian and Yemeni samples separately. A high degree of internal consistency of the scale was supported using correlation coefficients and Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total sample, and for each of the Egyptian and Yemeni samples separately. These results supported the validity of the scale for use in the Arab environment, and the researcher recommended conducting more studies on the scale using different samples.
