Report on the combat sports-related research at the 27th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science

Este breve informe describe los estudios sobre deportes de combate presentados en el 27th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science (ECSS), así como la sesión especial que se realizó sobre este tema. El Congreso Anual de la ECSS es uno de los eventos más importantes en el campo de las Ciencias del Deporte a nivel mundial, reuniendo a algunos de los investigadores más destacados en el área. En 2022, se celebró en Sevilla, España, del 30 de agosto al 2 de septiembre. Aunque los deportes de combate y las artes marciales tienen sus propios eventos y revistas especializadas, es importante que las investigaciones sobre estas prácticas se presenten a una audiencia más amplia, con el objeto de aumentar la conciencia entre otros científicos sobre su relevancia, lo que, a su vez, puede tener un impacto positivo en la obtención de subvenciones para la realización de investigaciones y plazas en universidades. Así, este informe describe brevemente las investigaciones presentadas en el evento, junto con algunas estrategias para aumentar su visibilidadEste breve relatório descreve as investigações relacionadas aos esportes de combate apresentadas no 27th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science (ECSS), bem como a sessão especial sobre este tema no evento.

Terminological recommendations for improving the visibility of scientific literature on martial arts and combat sports

Background and Study Aim: Martial Arts and Combat Sports (MA&CS) terminology is diverse and heterogeneous, limiting the research visibility and information retrieval. This study points out the different terms related to MA&CS names included in the scientific literature. From this basis, a set of recommendations are offered for improving publication visibility.Material/Methods: Web of Science (WOS) databases SCI-EXPANDED, SSCI, A&HCI for the period 2000-2009 were used for generating the data. A list of 278 searching terms was compiled, each of them enter individually in WOS databases. Results were collected in a reference management software and filtered manually. Statistical analysis was focused on precision, noise factor, recall and snobbery ratio indexes.Results: 53.2% searching terms showed no result, 14.0% obtained some result but not related to MA&CS, and 32.7% showed results related to MA&CS. Specific terminology is quite standardized, although there are some MA&CS showing different names. Generally, a preferred and most common term is used by authors. Precision values vary between 1 and 0.02 (noise factor values vary inversely) while recall values vary between 1 and 0.04 (snobbery ratio values vary inversely).Conclusions: MA&CS terminology used in scientific literature is quite varied and can cause diverse problems and slow down researcher’s bibliographic data collection. Romanization, popularization of some terms, names given to MA&CS by different organizations and terms syllable separation are the main problems for the lack of standardized terms in this area of knowledge. A group of seven recommendations are provided for enhancing the visibility of MA&CS researches

Physical and Physiological Characteristics of Judo Athletes: An Update

Judo competition is characterized structurally by weight category, which raises the importance of physiological control training in judo. The aim of the present review was to examine scientific papers on the physiological profile of the judokas, maintenance or loss of weight, framing issues, such as anthropometric parameters (body fat percentage), heart rate responses to training and combat, maximal oxygen uptake, hematological, biological and hormones indicators. The values shown in this review should be used as a reference for the evaluation of physical fitness and the effectiveness of training programs. Hence, this information is expected to contribute to the development of optimal training interventions aiming to achieve maximum athletic performance and to maintain the health of judokas

Is the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) Index discriminative for children?

[EN] n the last 20 years, judo coaches and researches have widely used the SJFT (Sterkowicz, 1995), considered one of the basic instruments..

A study of the difficulties involved in introducing young children to judo techniques: a proposed teaching programme

Background: The study seeks to analyze the difficulty of implementing the fifteen techniques that make up the program of 1(st) Dan Black Belt in the Spanish context. The objective is to establish a sequential order, depending on the level of difficulty, allowing us to draw up a teaching program more consistent with the initiation process at early ages.Material/Methods: The sample consisted of 911 teachers whose level of experience was at least 1st Dan black belt. The instrument consists of six items and was developed to facilitate the implementation of the basic actions of pulling and pushing in terms of the direction of the technique and control of the fall, the level of difficulty in its application, the facility to adjust the technical action in relation to space and time, and level of intersegmental coordination in the implementation of each of the techniques. The study used factor analysis, descriptive and inferential variables with SPSS software. 12.0.Results: The results show that the level of difficulty in the implementation and adaptation of technology to space-time parameters are more difficult at these ages. De Ashi Harai or Okuri Ashi Harai pose an additional difficulty by introducing the element of precision.Conclusions: We suggest making a new proposal for a methodology of teaching with the aim of encouraging learning and bringing the environment closer to the sport of judo. Progress should be based on actions and techniques that facilitate the throwing of the companion, based on safety in the performance and the balance of the judoists.“Young Researcher 39 ½” Grant funded by the Archives of Bud
