A new approach to Special Judo Fitness Test index: Relative index

Although judo and wrestling have different rules, these branches are two different Olympic sports branches, partly based on similar basic techniques. For example; the technique called "Ippon-Seoi-Nage" (one shoulder throw) in judo is mechanically the same as the technique called "Arm Throw" in wrestling. The aim of this study was to gain relative special judo fitness test (SJFT) index with a new approach to the SJFT index used in the literature. The maximum number of "arm throw" is required from wrestlers during the tests. The test consists of 3 sets. The sets are 15 sec, 30 sec, and 30 sec, respectively, and rest between the sets is 10 seconds. The heart rate of the wrestlers has recorded at the end of each set of the test and 1 minute after. The wrestlers were classified as the elite and sub-elite group and also as weight classification. Statistical analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test. There is no statistical difference between elite and sub-elite female wrestlers according to heart rate, the number of "arm throw", SJFT index, and relative SJFT index. On the other hand, there is a statistical difference in relative SJFT index according to weight classifications. Accordingly, lightweight wrestlers have highest relative SJFT index than the other groups. As a result of this study, there was no difference in the weight categories of the wrestlers according to the SJFT index, whereas there was a difference in the weight categories of the wrestlers according to the relative SJFT index. The use of the relative SJFT index to determine the difference between the weight categories will provide more accurate results for performance evaluation.
