Background: To establish the relations between the following variables: (1) morphological – body weight (BW) and percent body fat (%BF); (2) physiological – performance and blood lactate (LA) after two upper
body Wingate tests (2WT), performance and LA after the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT),
LA before and after a 5-min judo combat simulation; (3) technique and tactic actions – number of
attacks (NA), type of techniques, number of different techniques applied and time structure.
Material/methods: Thirteen elite college male judoists took part in the study. They were subjected to two bouts of arm Wingate test, a Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) and to a simulated combat. Conventional performance variables and numbers of specific actions were recorded. Body fat percentage was determined by skinfold technique.
Results: Relative total work output in two arm Wingate tests, numbers of throws executed in SJFT and
numbers of attacks in a combat were significantly, negatively correlated with body fat percentage
(r = –0.87 ÷ -0.70). Many performance variables were also significantly intercorrelated and correlated with blood lactate.
Conclusions: The arm technique was correlated with blood lactate after combat, suggesting a higher physiological requirement of this type of technique. Morphological and physiological variables, and
technical actions during combat, were intercorrelated. Thus, it seems that improving any of
these variables could help to improve the other ones.
