“…This would help them to work on their focus and concentration. Furthermore, coaches could also assess the attention capacity of judokas and their progress using some of the specific tools and methods developed for this precise purpose (Mihailescu and Sava, 2013). In addition, the JEG considered that the dual career KPI, a component of the lifestyle cluster, could provide both a backup and a way of keeping the mind busy.…”

“…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, 2014Franchini et al, , 2016Hesari et al, 2014;Anthierens et al, 2016).…”

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.

“…Çünkü sporda dikkatin bir işlev olarak rolü; aktifleştirme, odaklanma, seçici hedefleme, bilginin filtrelenmesi şeklinde yorumlanabilir. 6 Yani sporda hedefe ulaşmak için objeleri filtreleyip, gerekli olana odaklanarak başarıya ulaşmak mümkün olabilir. Sporda konsantrasyon, odak ve dikkat kavramları iç içe kullanılan terimlerdir.…”

Çalışmaya katılan sporculara, d2 dikkat testi [toplam madde (TM), toplam maddehata (TM-H), konsantrasyon puanı (KP)], teknik beceri performansları için Hacettepe Üniversitesi Futbol Alan (HÜFA) testi (HÜFA1=topsuz ve HÜFA2=top ile yapılan test), 30 m Sürat Testi (30 m-ST) ve Illinois Çeviklik Testi (IÇT) yapıldı. Ayrıca katılımcıların özelliklerini tespit etmede kısa bir bilgi formu kullanıldı. Ek olarak katılımcılar, mevki ve lig kategorilerine göre karşılaştırıldı. İstatistiksel değerlendirmelerde tek yönlü varyans analizi kullanıldı. Farkın, hangi gruptan kaynaklandığını belirlemek için Bonferroni testinin kullanılması tercih edildi. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek amacıyla da Pearson korelasyon katsayısı hesaplandı. Bulgular: Futbolcuların dikkat becerileri ile teknik (HÜFA1-HÜFA2) ve motor beceri performansları arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde, TM ile HÜFA1 (r=-0,25), HÜFA2 (r=-0,25) ve 30 m-ST (r=-0,24) sonuçları arasında düşük düzeyde negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu (p≤0,05). TM-H ile HÜFA1 (r=-0,24), HÜFA2 (r=-0,32), IÇT (r=-0,22) ve 30 m-ST (r=-0,22) arasında düşük düzeyde negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edildi (p≤0,05). KP ile HÜFA2 (r=-0,31) testi arasında da düşük düzeyde negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki görüldü (p≤0,05). Sonuç: Antrenmanlar sırasında yapılabilecek seçici dikkat ile ilgili uygulamaların, özellikle sporcu teknik beceri performansları üzerinde etkili olabileceğini önerebiliriz. Anah tar Ke li me ler: d2 dikkat testi; HÜFA testi; Illinois Çeviklik Testi; konsantrasyon; 30 m Sürat Testi ABS TRACT Objective: In this study, the relationships between selective attention, speed, agility and technical skill performances of football players were examined. Material and Methods: Eighty-six licensed male soccer players from Adanaspor infrastructure teams participated voluntarily. The means of the participants was ages (16.07±1.52 years), heights (172.08±8.71 cm), body weights (59.49±9.56 kg), and sports ages (6.17±1.83 years) respectively. Participants were implied the d2 attention test [total number of items (TN), total norm-error (TN-E), concentration performance (CP)], the Hacettepe University Football Area (HUFA) test (HUFA1=without ball, HUFA2=with ball) for technique skills, the 30 m Sprint Test (30 m-ST) and the Illinois Agility Test (IAT). Besides, a short form was used to determine for the characteristics of participants. In addition, participants were compared according to the categories of play position and league. One-way analysis of variance was used for statistical evaluations. It was preferred to use the Bonferroni test to determine which group caused the difference. Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated in order to determine the relationships between the variables. Results: In statistical analysis, a low-level negative significant relationship was found between TN and the results of HUFA1 (r=-0.25), HUFA2 (r=-0.25) and 30 m-ST (r=-0.24) (p≤0.05). A low-level negative significant relationship was found between TN-E, HUFA1 (r=-0.24), HUFA2 (r=-0...

Summary The aim of this paper is to ascertain the correlation between selected cognitive abilities, age and performance of judokas according to ranking. The study group consisted of judokas in the age group 18 ± 2.4 years. The Stroop Color-Word Test - Victoria Version (VST) was the instrument used to determine the level of cognitive abilities. The data obtained were measured by the Pearson Correlation (r) correlation test. The results of the study show an associative relationship of indirect correlation (p < 0.01) between age and all of the three categories of the Stroop test. This is an indirect correlation, so the higher the age, the lower the time (better performance) of the probands in the Stroop test. There was no statistically significant correlation between performance in the categories of the Stroop test and rankings. The outcomes show that the level of selected cognitive abilities depends on age, but the level of the selected cognitive abilities does not affect the ranking of the judokas.
