Effect of interval training in the pre-competition phase on aerobic capacity and peak power in judo contestants at high sports skill level
Journal Title: Journal of Combat Sports and Martial Arts - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
[b]Introduction.[/b] The aim of the study was to determine the effect of non-specific training stimuli in the form of interval running exercise used during a 5-week training carried out in the pre-competition period on aerobic and anaerobic capacity of judo contestants at high sports skill level.[b]Material and methods.[/b] Over twenty five training sessions, 8 judo athletes repeated each time 6 runs at maximum speed (4x14m shuttle run) interspersed with 30-second rest intervals in conditions typical for judo training (barefoot, on a tatami mat). Level of aerobic capacity was determined based on a laboratory exercise test to exhaustion performed on a mechanical treadmill. Level of anaerobic capacity was evaluated based on the results obtained from the Quebec test (10s maximum exercise on cycle ergometer.[b]Results and Conclusions.[/b] Comparison between the results obtained during the exercise test to exhaustion and the Quebec test carried out before and after the pre-competition period revealed a statistically significant increase in running speed at the anaerobic threshold (V.AT.), significant increase in mechanical work (J/kg), peak power (W/kg) and elongation of time of maintaining 97.5% peak power in the Quebec test.
