  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: POWER OUTPUT OF JUDO ATHLETES AND HIGH-SPEED NEUROMUSCULAR CONTROL

Introduction: Muscles are the main driving force in the locomotive system. Moreover, their activity is crucial for athletic performance. The power they generate allows for higher performance. Increasing the power output is essential for constant performance. Energetic consistency is vital for a consistent neuromuscular control of technique. Hypothesis: A specific physical training period influences the evolution of power output and high-speed technique control. Methods and Materials: Seventeen female subjects from Romania’s Junior Olympic Judo Team took part in our study with the age between 14 and 20 years old. The MGM-15 Jump Carpet was used for the power output and energetic consistency tests. Results: There was no significant statistical difference between the initial and final power output measurement but there was a strong correlation between them. Conclusions: The physical training period the subjects undergone may have had an impact over the way the power output increases or decreases regarding to the initial value due to their correlation. The high-speed technique control does not seem to be affected by a high-intensity workout period, though we have listed a series of possible causes for this result.
