DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BODY WEIGHT OF JUDOKAS IN JUNIOR AGE IN THE PERIOD FROM OFFICIAL WEIGH IN AND THE START OF COMPETITION
Body weight regulation is one of the specificities of judo. In a situation where judokas already have minimal amount of subcutaneous adipose tissue regulation of body weight is achieved by increasing the volume of training combined with partial or even complete termination of nutrients. To allow judokas optimal recovery official weigh- in was moved the on the night before the competition. Now the question is - will judokas be within acceptable limits of body weight for a particular category on the competition? The main objective of this study was to determine the difference between the weight at the official weigh-in and the weigh – in before the start of competition. It can be assumed that the greater difference means more drastic weight loss before the competition. For this purpose the differences in body weight in 1, 102 women and 1, 794 men were analyzed during 10 junior European cup tournaments. The results showed that the statistically significant (p <0.01) higher average difference in body weight occurs in women (1.64 kg) than in men competition (1.48 kg). Also, if one analyze weight categories individually it can be noted that the greatest differences didn’t occur in the lightest weight categories but in the second lightest weight category (men's up to 60kg - an average of 2.21 kg and girls up to 48kg - average of 2.09 kg). After that category difference gradually decreases until superheavy category. It is interesting to note that a significant connection between differences in body weight and success on competition exists only in the category up to 60 kg. These results clearly indicate that body weight is not the decisive factor for victory in judo bout, and because of the preservation of health coaches are urged to access the process of losing weight carefully, especially when it comes to young judoka.
