THE EFFECTS OF SPECIFIC TRAINING ON THE FORMS OF SPEED MANIFESTATION IN JUDO
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the influences specific speed training on the forms of its manifestation in judo. Methods: The subjects of the survey were two 10-student groups practicing judo at C.S.S. Gloria of Arad – a control group (C.Gr.: M age = 11.5 ±1.35, M weight = 41.7 kg ±7.85kg), and an experimental group (E.Gr.: M age = 11.7 ±0.82, M weight = 48.8 kg ±7.90kg). There was an initial testing (I.T.) for the two groups with the OptoJump device (MicroGate, 2005) for 3 forms of speed: reaction rate (R.R.), running speed (R.S.) and motion speed (M.S.). The following 14 training sessions included, for the E.Gr., 13-15 min. speed development exercises; the C.Gr. performed their usual training. The final testing (F.T.) was similar for the two groups. Results: The subjects who completed a specific speed training (E.Gr.) showed an improvement of the forms of expression of speed compared to those who did not participate in the program (C.Gr.). Conclusions: Conducting a specific training program to develop manifestations of speed at the age of 11-12 is a solution for optimizing the training of young judoka.
