| Article Name : | | | PHYSICAL FITNESS AND ANTHROPOMETRICAL PROFILE OF THE IRANIAN MALE ELITE AND NON-ELITE JUDO PLAYERS | | Author Name : | | | Mohammadreza Moradpourian , Amir Khosravi | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ISRJ-330 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | The objective of this study was to verify the differences between Elite (Iranian nation Team) and non-elite (those playing in the premier league) senior male judo players. For this purpose, the following tests and measurements were conducted: (a) skinfold thickness; (b) circumferences; (c) upper body Wingate test; (d) aerobic power.
Independent T Test was used to compare the two groups (significance level=5%). Elite group presented better results than Non-elite group in the following variables (p<0.05): circumferences (cm) - flexed arm, forearm, wrist; Wingate Test – Mean and Peak power; aerobic power. The other variables were not different between groups. It can be concluded that Elite judo players presented higher upper body and specific anaerobic power and aerobic power, higher circumferences (specially from upper body, indicating superior muscle mass in this area) and that skinfold, was similar in Elite and Non-elite judo players. Thus, these results suggest that training and talent identification of judo athletes should focus on the variables that were different between Elite and Non-elite athletes. | | Keywords : | | - judo
