Effect of Training on Muscular Strength, Flexibility and Agility in Judo Players: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: International Physiology - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Judo is a dynamic and tremendous combat sport that demands both physical prowess and great mental discipline. Maximal muscle strength is ultimate strength value under static conditions. Flexibility is defined as the maximal passive physiological range of motion in a given joint movement. Agility is the ability to move the body in order to change directions quickly and accurately. Objective: To compare muscular strength, flexibility and agility levels of judo players with age matched sedentary first year MBBS students and understand the effect of training on these parameters. Material and methods: For this study, 31 judo players and 31 sedentary MBBS students as controls were included. Muscular strength was assessed by 1 repetition maximum (1RM) Bench press and bench squat, flexibility by sit and reach tester and agility by side step test. Students unpaired ‘t’ test used for analysis. Results: Unpaired t-test With p<0.05 significance was applied for values expressed as Mean ± SD, all the parameters muscle strength, flexibility and agility levels were higher in judo player group with statistically significant difference. Conclusion: There is significant effect seen due to training on the parameters in judo players which can be understood better and help in formulating techniques during training sessions to get better results from players.
