Abstract
[b]Introduction. [/b]The goal of the study was to determine the effectiveness of offensive actions during judo combats. The frequency and effectiveness of different elements of attack were studied in competitors of different genders and weight categories who were finalists of the most important world tournaments.[b]Material and methods.[/b] DVD records of the final World Championships (Cairo 2005), Olympics (Beijing 2008) and World Cup tournaments from 2005 to 2008. The total of 56 combats were analysed (with the accuracy to 10-second time segments). 69 male and female competitors were subjected to analysis.[b]Results and Conclusions.[/b] Based on the data from observation it was found that the competitors most often applied hand techniques (throwing forms, te-waza constituted 44% of all actions). The effectiveness of these throws, however, was not high (8% in females and 10% in males). Relatively rarely (5% of all actions) the judokas made attempts to perform groundwork using grappling forms. Conversely, the efficiency of katame-waza was high (18% in women and 27% in men). Champions, more often than vice-champions tried to win using grappling in a horizontal position. Katame-waza (grappling) turned out several times more effective than nage-waza (throwing). The judges’ scores included 40% of penalties, which indicates the competitors chose alternative methods to gain superiority over their opponents. Most often, the first competitor who gained superiority was the winner.
