- Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine the influence of a year-long judo training program on the transformation of the motor dimensions of participants defined as population of younger school children, aged 8. A total of 12 motor tests were applied on a sample of 60 participants, which were selected so that the analysis of the structure could be carried out on second-level factors (Gredelja, Metikosa, Hosek, & Momirovic, 1975), defined as movement structuring, regulation of tonus and synergy regulation, regulation of the intensity of excitation and the regulation of the excitation duration. Through transformation and condensation of variables in the motor space, one discriminant variable was isolated which separates the groups on the basis of discriminant coefficients. The agreement of the results obtained for the groups of participants is very high and has a value of .80, which speaks in favor of the connection between the discriminant functions. By gaining insight into the coefficients which determine the discriminant function, we can determine that it separates participants on the basis of segmental hand speed, explosive leg strength, explosive hand strength and explosive strength of the shoulder belt, body coordination, flexibility of the torso, repetitive strength of the torso and the lower extremities and the force of the torso. On the basis of the size and sign of the centroid projections onto the discriminant function, we can conclude that the trend of the results is such that the tested motor skills increased after the experimental period. This claim confirms the fact that judo training and judo combat are dominated by strength exercises, coordination, flexibility and force.
