Judo, an organized physical activity for children and adolescents, has gained popularity worldwide. Physical activity is vital during times of rising obesity and a sedentary lifestyle in this age group. The article aims to review the current knowledge of the health benefits of judo-specific exercises for children and youth. Six international scientific databases (PubMed, Scopus, UpToDate, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar) were searched from 1 January 2007 to 30 September 2022. The search focused on health-related factors regarding healthy preschool and school-aged judo practitioners. Sixteen original studies met the inclusion criteria. School-aged children aged 7-15 years were included in the analysis. The average training time was between two and six hours a week, with the judo intervention mainly ranging from nine months to three years. Most studies registered positive changes caused by judo training. The outcomes focused on maintaining or reducing body fat, increasing bone mineralization, and improving the function of the cardiorespiratory system compared to the non-practicing control group. However, there were no differences between judo and other sports groups. The main conclusions presented health benefits from judo-specific training in school-aged children and may support the World Health Organization recommendations concerning daily physical activity.
柔道是一项面向儿童和青少年的有组织的体育活动，在全球范围内广受欢迎。在这个年龄段肥胖率上升和久坐不动的生活方式盛行之际，体育活动至关重要。本文旨在综述目前关于柔道特定练习对儿童和青少年健康益处的知识。我们检索了六个国际科学数据库（PubMed、Scopus、UpToDate、Web of Science、EBSCOhost和谷歌学术），检索时间为2007年1月1日至2022年9月30日。检索重点是与健康的学龄前和学龄期柔道练习者相关的健康因素。十六项原创研究符合纳入标准。分析纳入了7至15岁的学龄儿童。平均训练时间为每周两到六个小时，柔道干预主要持续九个月到三年。大多数研究记录了柔道训练带来的积极变化。与不练习的对照组相比，这些结果集中在维持或减少体脂、增加骨矿化以及改善心肺系统功能方面。然而，柔道组与其他运动组之间没有差异。主要结论表明，学龄儿童进行柔道特定训练对健康有益，这可能支持世界卫生组织关于日常体育活动的建议。
