Judo is a complex sport where different anthropological parameters determine performance. Judo, as a sport is not well known in India. There is evident lack of data concerning the anthropological determinants of judo players. This study was conducted to determine the anthropometric profile and Special Judo Fitness levels of judokas.
This cross sectional study was conducted on 31 judo players. Anthropometric profile was assessed by measuring height, weight, body mass index, body circumferences at seven sites, seven site skin fold thickness and body fat percentage as per standard accepted protocol. Special Judo Fitness Test - a specific test to evaluate the judo athlete's physical condition was applied. Statistical analysis done using Student's unpaired 't' test and correlation by Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Out of 31 judo players 20 had ≤5 yrs of judo practice (A group) and 11 >5 yrs of judo (B group). Anthropometric findings of both the judo groups were the same. Body fat has negative correlation (r =-0.690, P<0.05) with performance in SJFT. Observations during and after special judo fitness test were also similar.
Long term training has a minimal effect on anthropometry. Judo athletes of similar age when submitted to the same training type tend to show equal performance in the game and fitness levels after certain years of training. We also confirm existence of negative correlation between body fat and performance.
柔道是一项复杂的运动，不同的人体学参数决定着运动表现。柔道作为一项运动在印度并不广为人知。关于柔道运动员人体学决定因素的数据明显匮乏。本研究旨在确定柔道运动员的人体测量学特征和特殊柔道体能水平。
对31名柔道运动员进行了这项横断面研究。按照公认标准方案，通过测量身高、体重、体重指数、七个部位的身体周长、七个部位的皮褶厚度和体脂百分比来评估人体测量学特征。应用特殊柔道体能测试——一项评估柔道运动员身体状况的特定测试。使用学生独立样本t检验进行统计分析，并通过卡尔·皮尔逊相关系数进行相关性分析。
在31名柔道运动员中，20名柔道练习年限≤5年（A组），11名柔道练习年限>5年（B组）。两个柔道组的人体测量学结果相同。体脂与特殊柔道体能测试的表现呈负相关（r = -0.690，P<0.05）。特殊柔道体能测试期间及之后的观察结果也相似。
长期训练对人体测量学的影响极小。年龄相仿的柔道运动员在接受相同训练类型后，经过若干年训练，在比赛中的表现和体能水平往往相当。我们还证实了体脂与表现之间存在负相关。
