The Relationship between the Special Judo Fitness Test and Aerobic Fitness in a Sample of Saudi Judo Athletes

Mohammad Ali Alahmadi

Abstract


This study aimed to identify the relationship between the special judo fitness test (SJFT) and aerobic fitness in a sample of Saudi judo athletes. Fourteen judo athletes (mean ± SD, age, 17.1 ± 4.1 years; body mass, 66.7 ± 21 kg; height, 160.2 ± 13.6 cm) undertook the SJFT and a maximal multistage 20-m shuttle run test to estimate maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). The mean (±SD) of the index of the SJFT and VO2 max were 16.2 ± 1.6 and 46.2 ± 5.2 (ml/kg/min-1), respectively. The SJFT index was in an inverse direct relationship with VO2max (r = −0.71, p0.02). We conclude that aerobic fitness is associated with judo performance. Our findings corroborate those of other studies on elite judo athletes, who are required to maintain high aerobic fitness levels.

العلاقة بين اختبار لياقة الجودو الخاص واللياقة الهوائية لدى بعض لاعبي الجودو السعوديين

ملخص
هدفت هذه الدراســـــــــــــة إلى التعرف إلى العلاقــــــــة بين اختبار لياقة الجـــــــــــودو الخاص (Special judo fitness test) واللياقة الهوائية لدى بعض رياضيي الجودو السعوديين. شارك في الدراسة 14 من لاعبي الجودو (متوسط ± الانحراف المعياري، العمر: 17.1 ± 4.1 سنة؛ الوزن: 66.7 ± 21 كجم؛ الطول: 160.2 ± 13.6 سم)، وقد أجري لهم اختبار لياقة الجودو الخاص، وhختبار متعدد المراحل (Shuttle run test) لتقدير الاستهلاك الأقصى للأكسجين (VO2max). أظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن متوسط± انحراف معياري لمؤشــــــــــــــــــر اختبار لياقة الجــــــــــــــودو الخاص16.2 ± 1.6، والاستهلاك الأقصى للأكسجين 46.2 ± 5.2 (مل/كجم/دقيقة)، على التوالي.كما أظهرت النتائج أن مؤشر اختبار لياقة الجودو الخاص ارتبط ارتباطاً عكسياً معالاستهلاك الأقصى للأكسجين (ر=0.71 مستوى الدلالة 0.02). يمكن الاستنتاج من هذهالدراسةأن هناك علاقة ارتباطية بين اللياقة الهوائية واختبار لياقة الجودو الخاص. وبذلك تتفق النتائج التي توصلنا إليها مع الدراسات الأخرى التي أجريت على لاعبي الجودو، والمطالبين بالحفاظ على مستوى عالي من اللياقة الهوائية.

Keywords
