Division into weight categories helps provide equal chances for the competitors, not only in terms of body weight but also their locomotor abilities, range of punches and kicks (used in the first phase of the fight), strength and leverage after catching the clothes to perform a throw (the second phase of the fight) and using immobilization, choke and joint manipulation techniques during groundwork (in the third phase of the fight). A popular tendency before tournaments is body mass reduction that affects body composition. The athletes usually aim at increasing the percentage of fat-free mass in overall body mass in order to improve relative strength when competing in a particular weight category [1]. The fight is characterized by increased activity in both attack and defence, which represent a high-intensity exercise. Duration of these intermittent efforts largely depends on the effectiveness of technical and tactical actions in individual phases of the fight. Fighting according to the regulations for sport ju-jitsu is a combination of the skills typical of karate and judo competition [2,3]. Therefore, it was adopted that special fitness tests developed for karate (SPFT) and judo (SJFT), although having its individual specificity, might be used in ju-jitsu [4]. Conception of study. It was assumed that a sport ju-jitsu fight makes similar demands on both women and men [5]. Division into weight categories in both genders provides equal chances for all the competitors. We propose a hypothesis that women differ more in body build and composition than men rather than in quality of performing specific fitness tests which contain technical skills typical of the judo fight. The aim of this study is to compare anthropometric data, body composition and sport-specific fitness of male and fe male subjects, and to establish an anthropometric profile and fitness patterns of elite ju-jitsu athletes.","PeriodicalId":347138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of combat sports and martial arts","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130633110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Martial arts with a centuries-long tradition are regarded in social opinions as a carrier of many desired values and function as an education system for young people in Eastern societies. Apart from health benefits, they have supported moral education, have decreased social brutality and have provided positive models of behaviour, being a source of self-satisfaction at the same time [1,2,3,4,5,6]. According to ideological principles, on the basis of the tradition of warrior cultures, training persons try to achieve psychophysical improvement and self-fulfilment by practicing combat techniques [7]. Positive asceticism combines body exercises with conscious self-discipline and is oriented towards moral and spiritual development [8].

One of the most widely used subjective indicator of somatic or psychological stress is state anxiety. Long since is known, that state anxiety [1-7] is higher in scores for more intensive and ex haustive bouts, but tended to decrease during short-lasting recovery. Another similar indicator of perceived physical fa ti gue induced by exercise is Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE). During long-lasting and endurance athletes like triathlon competition RPE significantly and negatively correlated (r=-0.911) with speed of run segments, and positively (r=+0.826) with overall race time. State anxiety prior to this event was higher than that at neutral condition [8]. It should be stressed, that both state anxiety and RPE reflex current feelings, but they are closely related to post effort bodily sensations. For this reasons these variables correlated significantly with some objective, physiological parameters, like heart rate and blood lactate concentration (LA) [9-14]. Interestingly, that various exertions are varied by their intensity and time duration de monstrated differentiated contribution of RPE for exercising body extremities, and for breathing effort, associated especially with experience of the sensation of shortness of breath and breathlessness. That latest symptom is expressed as chest RPE, while RPE extremities is often related to local pain and fatigue which are expressed as impairment of power output [11-14]. These symptoms are noted for instance at the end of Wingate-test and other anaerobic bouts. During an interval training overall RPE, aggregated lactate and HR values after several intensive efforts are useful tools for estimation of individual training tolerance/adaptation among exercising athletes.

For de termination of anaerobic capacity, the most frequently utilized type of maximal bout performed by lower(legs cycling), and upper body limbs (arms cranking) are Wingate tests lasting from 10 to 30 seconds. These exertions are of high diagnostic value, and their performance are related to the other physical abilities like maximal bench press, which performance level is related to a high extent with Wingate peak power [1]. During high intensity exertion predominant source of ener gy originates from anaerobic processes, that is confirmed by rise of blood lactate level (LA). However, as has been shown, LA peak did not appeared directly after short anaerobic exertion. Studies on LA time course following judo match showed bi-phase changes (risedrop), and that dynamics within the period from +1 to +15 minutes is the best fitted by an equation of the parabola [2], but for longer recovery period (0.5h) that way of approximation is not adequate. The LA behavior in blood were recorded after various supra-maximal exertions including classic Wingate (30s) test [3-11].

As an overweight-associated rise in mortality rates has been observed [2], community awareness of the positive consequences of maintaining proper values of Body Mass Index (BMI) and fat mass (FM) has been increasingly promoted. In most individuals, BMI constitutes a reliable indicator of overweight and obesity. The only exception pertains to sportspersons, particularly those practicing disciplines that require weight training, in whom frequently higher BMI results from higher muscle mass rather than higher content of adipose tissue [3]. However, for all persons physical activity is the recommended way of maintaining the normal body mass [1,2,4]. In sumo, one wrestler attempts to force the opponent out of a circular ring or knock him down to the ground with an aid of specific throws, shoves, and body hits [5,6]. Strength and dynamics of undertaken activities and the necessity of maintaining body balance are vital during sumo bouts [7]. Achiev ing a high level of strength abilities requires building muscle mass as well as attaining a sufficient area of transverse cross-sections of skeletal muscles [8-12]. Higher body mass additionally increases athlete’s inertia, impeding the efforts to force him out of the ring. Therefore, athletes with higher body mass are more effective during the match and are harder to","PeriodicalId":347138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of combat sports and martial arts","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127031913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sports-fight relies among other things on the infliction of knocks (boxing, kick boxing, taekwondo), or the usage of throwing or grappling (wrestling, judo) [1,2]. The identity of combat sports and martial arts consists of the integration of three specific factors: pragmatic, utilitarian and mental. They influence on the psychophysical and moral education of a man. Therefore, sports and martial arts are much more than disciplines of sport. They are the form of the physical education, the civil (defensive) education and the philosophy [3]. Judo is modified form of the old Japanese martial art – jujitsu. The goal of the creator of judo – Jigoro Kano, was the creation of wholly developmental, utilitarian system of exercises, applied in the physical education of children and young people, the defensive instruction of policeand military formations, and also disciplines of sport in the Olympian dimension and recreational one. Judo can be practiced by men in every age, of different physique and different fitness level. For Jigoro Kano, judo was not only the martial art, but also the kind of specific philosophy. Students of his school were obliged to obey strict regulations instituted by the master. The word ‘judo’ in the literal translation from Japanese means ‘the way’ (a rule, manner) of gentleness (agility, compliance).

Aggressive states are very frequently related to the feeling of anger. There are various forms of ag gression in sport; mainly these are instrumental and hostile aggression. Hostile aggression is an aggressive behaviour provoked by the feeling of anger. Instrumental aggression is an aggressive behaviour directed to the obstacle which is be tween an aggressor and aim which he/she wants to achieve. What’s more, it is not triggered by anger as such [1,2]. Re viewing the psychological concept of anger, Spielberger, Rit ter band and other authors [3] indicate significant incoherence and ambiguity of the following notions: anger, hostility and aggression. The authors also suggest the way to systematize the notions. They claim that although the above concepts are related to each other, they cannot be used interchangeably. They suggest to use the following term to define three phenomena: „AHA! Syndrome” (anger, hostility, aggression). Spielberger [4] defines anger as an emotional state which involves different feelings in terms of intensity ranging from subtle annoyance, irritation to strong fury and rage. Hostility is related to frequent experiencing angry feeling, however itself it refers to the complex set of behaviours such as: malice, scorn, revengefulness, cynicism, which provoke aggressive atti tude towards other people [5]. Whereas the concept of aggression refers to the states of destructive and penalizing nature directed towards other people or objects in the environment [6,7]. Anger is undoubtedly the core (nucleus) of AHA! Syndrome, however neither hostility nor aggression should be identified with anger. The basic difference between them is that anger is an emotion, hostility – an attitude and aggression – a behaviour [8]. The real problem is the lack of adequate methods to measure emotions of anger. Most frequently researchers use the R.B. Catell’s Questionnaires of personality, The Buss – Durke’s Inventory or the Z. Gas’s Inventory of Psychological Aggression Syndrome, which measure the level of aggression (behaviours), not of anger [9,10,11] Spielberger’s STAXI2 test may be an alternative to the above tests.","PeriodicalId":347138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of combat sports and martial arts","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122336691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One does not use typical kicks or knocks, but mostly the power of the opponent – interactions with the activity of the competitor. In the course of trainings, apart from assurance and safety rules, one is also initiated into the pedagogical aspect, based on the Bushido Code. Competitors are taught respect for the second person, tolerance, help and discipline. It is the martial art which can be practiced by everybody, regardless of physical predispositions, the age, the height or the body mass [1-3]. In aikido training one uses elongation, flexibility and strength ening exercises. Meditative techniques, practiced simultaneously with the flexibility training, regularly performed du ring each class, play the significant role in overcoming stress, relaxation of muscles and effacement of resultant complaints in consequence of the intensive muscular tension [1,2,4]. Aikido exercises have also indispensable values in realizing of the prophylaxis of the health. The participation in trainings permits to enlarge the physical fitness and to diminish risk factors leading to bone breaks during unfortunate falls. The skill of the safe fall permits aikido students (and those training other martial arts, e.g. jujitsu or judo) to limit unpleasant results of falls [3,5]. Aikido through the usage of relaxation exercises favou rably influences the psychophysical state of those training. It makes looseness of any muscular groups, obtainment of the psychical equilibrium and quelling of physiological reactions easy [1,3]. Aikido embraces also the large supply of respiratory exercises. The skill of the relaxation itself is the best mean in fight with illnesses of the nervous system, which can make a person heavy, apathetic and passive. The full relaxation, allowing maximum regeneration of lost energy in as short time as possible, proves also to be a very effective form of the rest, stimulating life centres, concentrating diffused ener gy, strengthening and cooling the body [3].","PeriodicalId":347138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of combat sports and martial arts","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115816000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Linhart [2], ‘concentration of active attention is understood as a period during which a subject is able to perceive conventional signals without errors which might be a result of distracting attention, in a way that is active, purposeful and continuous’ [2, p. 324]. It must be added that this state of active readiness to react has a latent form and refers to a tendency to focus attention at a high level, mostly on tasks requiring a high standard of performance. Therefore, it does not determine a general level of possibilities to accomplish a given task, but it undoubtedly has an impact on it. In experimental psychology, an ability to focus attention is perceived in two ways: – as a certain personality disposition, – as a certain feature of behaviour which depends on a situational context. For the purpose of examining human behaviours in the conditions which require focused attention, many researchers suggest using attentional tasks, also referred to as continuous performance tests that ought to be characterised by the following three conditions: – relatively long duration, – low probability that a signal will appear, – relatively shallow principle of information selection during an analysis of stimuli [3,4].","PeriodicalId":347138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of combat sports and martial arts","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123504996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During a fight a wide range of grappling techniques performed in various ways can be observed. The precision of movements performed depends on the coordination levels of a competitor. Therefore, it is one of the most significant and indispensable elements in the training process of wrestlers. An adequate emphasis on coordination training, including the development of the predominant CMAs, is an absolute must at all stages of wrestlers’ training [1-10]. Coordination complexity is an essential criterion of classifying training means when assessing the volume of loads in combat sports [7,11,12]. In wrestling it is noticeable when means at various levels of difficulty are applied. These include exercises where different muscle groups are engaged. Such exercises are performed in non-standard conditions, sometimes with various accessories or pieces of apparatus as well as during a non-standard fight. The following factors influence the coordination complexity of exercises in wrestling: levels of activity and the number of participants, time limit, size of the exercise surface, difficulty of a motor task including acrobatic elements, a fight against a stronger opponent or several op po nents as well as wrestling games and plays with elements of team games. Despite its theoretical and practical importance, the classification of coordination training loads has not been sufficiently investigated as yet [7,11,13]. It is borne out by the fact that there are no precise rules of classifying training means in terms of volume, intensity and coordination complexity [7,11, 12]. The lack of the classification of coordination training loads may result in an incorrect planning of a training cycle and ineffective training of an athlete [11]. The aim of the study was to assess coordination training means applied in a 6-month training cycle of Greco-Roman wrestlers.","PeriodicalId":347138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of combat sports and martial arts","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122008775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
