The evaluation of ju-jitsu trainees’ physical fitness depending on utilization of acrobatic and agility exercises in training
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2015, Vol 13, Issue 13
Abstract
Purpose: The research aim is to provide an answer to the question whether including gymnastics exercises in a Ju-jitsu training positively influences trainees’ general and special fitness. The research was preceded by a trainer survey conducted among Ju-jitsu trainers and instructors which enabled to distinguish two approaches to this issue. In the opinion of some trainers using gymnastics exercises in a Ju-jitsu training should positively influence the level of trainees’ general and special fitness. In the other group of instructors, on the other hand, the opinion that there is no reason to recommend using such exercises in a Ju-jitsu training prevails. Methods: The research has been conducted by means of physical fitness tests evaluating general fitness (EUROFIT physical fitness battery) and special fitness in Ju-jitsu. Research material included two groups consisting of 15 trainees aged 14-17 who represented sections trained by instructors having opposing views related to the presented issue. Results: In the two groups it was the group whose training includes gymnastics exercises that obtained better results in 9 out of 11 tests which points to the rightness of opinions represented by trainers who are in favour of using gymnastics exercises in a Ju-jitsu training. Conclusions: The profile of motor ability in Ju-jitsu and gymnastics shows a strong similarity in all areas of motor skills.<br/><br/>
