The purpose of training in ju-jitsu is developing characteristic adaptation to physical activity and optimizing body functions so as to obtain maximal achievements. A means to an end is mastering the fighting technique and develop the essential level of special physical fitness. The aim of this paper was to determine the influence of a modified circuit training conducted according to an original program on level of special physical fitness of ju-jitsu trainees. Ju-jitsu trainees having similar somatic parameters and training experience (3-5 years) were included in the research. 30 participants between the age of 21 and 28 have been selected by means of a purposeful selection. On the basis of different variants of a circuit training and governed by the guidelines of a functional training for trainees, we have developed a training programme which aims to develop special strength, stamina and speed skills. STATISTICA PL software was used to compile the results. In order to determine statistical significance of differences between pre- and posttest measurements in the evaluated group of Ju-Jitsu contestants, a t-test for related groups was used. In conclusion, the proposed training programme proceeds at a high level of intensity, which resembles start activity (which is indicated by the heart rate frequency measurement and lactic acid blood concentration) and may be used in ju-jistu training. The experimental training programme has exerted positive influence on the participants’ with respect to the number of movements made, which can affect their effectiveness in fight.
Background. Wheelchair rugby is one of most spectacular team games meant for people with cervical spinal cord injury. Lately this sport has been gaining popularity. In order to estimate progress of players and analyze effects of training, coaches use various series of tests of special physical fitness. The aim of this study was to evaluate skills of wheelchair rugby players depending on their functional classification expressed in points and the years they play this sport. Material and methods. A group of 35 wheelchair rugby players were recruited for the study. The players participate in the Polish Wheelchair Rugby League (PLRnW) competitions in teams: Flying Wings Rzeszów. Brave Snails Lublin and Garbate Anioły Radom. The subjects were divided into four groups according to their functional classification in wheelchair rugby: 1st group – 0.5 and 1.0 point players (n = 9 ), 2nd group – 1.5 point (n = 8), 3rd group – 2.0 and 2.5 point (n = 11 ), and 4th group – 3.0 and 3.5 point (n = 7). The wheelchair rugby players participated in 4 special physical fitness tests: six-minute Cooper test, 20 m sprint, slalom with the ball, medicine ball throw. Results and conclusions. Results of the performed tests showed a strict correlation between the results achieved in tests of special physical fitness and the players’ functional classification. No strict correlation between the results achieved in tests of special physical fitness and the years of playing sport was found.
Celem badań było określenie związków między sprawnością fizyczną wszechstronną i specjalną zawodników trenujących judo. Badaniom poddano zawodników z grupy wiekowej młodzik (U16) i junior (U21), którzy są zawodnikami kadry wojewódzkiej. Do pomiaru sprawności wszechstronnej wykorzystano Międzynarodowy Test Sprawności Fizycznej, a do oceny sprawności specjalnej Test Specjalnej Sprawności Ruchowej w judo. Badania wykazały, że juniorzy prezentują wyższy poziom sprawności fizycznej wszechstronnej (z wyłączeniem gibkości) i specjalnej niż młodzicy. W grupie młodzika wykazano więcej związków sprawności fizycznej wszechstronnej ze sprawnością specjalną. Odnotowano, że w grupie wiekowej młodzika największy wpływ na poziom ogólny wszechstronnej sprawności fizycznej ma siła mięśni nóg, wytrzymałość, zwinność i siła mięśni brzucha, natomiast w grupie do lat 21 wytrzymałość, siła dłoni i siła ramion. Wykazano, że połączenie pewnych składowych sprawności wszechstronnej, w danym cyklu treningowym, może nieść pozytywne efekty w kształtowaniu tych cech w obu grupach wiekowych. Ponadto wykazano, że uwzględnianie rozwoju ontogenetycznego zawodnika, okresu sensytywnego w jakim się znajduje, związków pomiędzy składowymi sprawności wszechstronnej oraz pomiędzy sprawnością wszechstronną i specjalną może znacząco wpływać na efektywność prowadzonego procesu treningowego w obu grupach wiekowych.

The research aimed to determine the relationship between the universal and special physical fitness of judoists. The study involved players from the youngster (U16) and junior (U21) age group from provincial teams. The International Physical Fitness Test was used to measure comprehensive fitness, and the Special Judo Fitness Test was applied to assess special fitness. The research has shown that juniors exhibit a higher level of all-round (excluding flexibility) and special fitness than youngsters. More relationships between comprehensive physical fitness and special fitness were demonstrated in the youngster group. Leg muscle strength, endurance, agility, and abdominal strength were found to have the most significant impact on the overall level of all-round fitness in the youngster age group, while in the age group under 21, endurance, hand strength, and arm strength had the most significant impact. It has been shown that the combination of individual components of versatile fitness in a given training cycle may bring positive effects in shaping those features in both age groups. Besides, it has been shown that when taking account of the athlete’s ontogenetic development and his/her sensitive period, the relationships between the components of comprehensive fitness and comprehensive and special fitness can significantly affect the effectiveness of the training process in both age groups.
