Baseline Neuromuscular Performance and Responses to a Simulated Match in Young Athletes (SIMMATCH-NM)
Predictive Power of Baseline Neuromuscular Performance Characteristics for Physiological and Perceptual Responses After a Simulated Match in Young Athletes
This study looks at whether the physical fitness of young judo athletes before a match can help predict how their bodies and effort perception respond after a match. Judo matches are short, intense and tiring. After a match, athletes show higher blood lactate (a marker of intense effort), weaker grip strength and lower jump height. Not much is known about whether baseline tests of core endurance, throwing power, speed, agility and force-velocity profile can predict these changes in young athletes. Male judo athletes aged 10-13 years will complete these baseline tests in one session and then take part in one 3-minute simulated judo match with a training partner of similar body mass. Blood lactate, vertical jump height and grip strength will be measured before and right after the match, and athletes will rate how hard the match felt. The study will examine how the changes after the match relate to the baseline test results. The findings may help coaches monitor training load and plan conditioning for young judo athletes.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Judo is a high-intensity intermittent combat sport. Matches produce marked blood lactate accumulation, loss of handgrip strength, and reduced lower-body power. Baseline physical profiling is widely used to monitor athletic development, but its ability to predict individual physiological and perceptual responses to a judo match in young athletes is not well understood.
This is a single-group, pre-post study. Fifteen male judo athletes aged 10-13 years will be recruited in Malatya, Turkey. Written informed consent will be obtained from parents or legal guardians, and assent from participants. About one week before testing, participants are familiarized with the procedures and the Borg 6-20 rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale. Participants avoid high-intensity training, caffeine and ergogenic supplements for 48 hours before testing. Testing takes place in a climate-controlled hall (20-22 °C).
Test day: After anthropometric measurements, baseline profiling is performed: McGill core endurance tests (trunk flexion, trunk extension, right and left lateral bridge), a 2-kg backward overhead medicine ball throw, a 20-m sprint, the pro-agility test, and a force-velocity profile using Samozino's field method (MyJump2 app, 240 fps video). After a standardized 10-minute warm-up (low-intensity jogging, dynamic stretching, breakfalls), pre-match measures are taken: blood lactate (finger-prick capillary sample, single-use lancet), countermovement jump height (contact mat) and handgrip strength (hand dynamometer).
Athletes then complete one 3-minute simulated judo match (randori) under International Judo Federation rules with a training partner of similar body mass (±5 kg), supervised by a coach. Immediately afterwards, blood lactate, jump height, grip strength and RPE are measured in this order within about 3 minutes.
Pre- and post-match values are compared with paired-samples t-tests (Cohen's d). Change scores (post minus pre) for lactate, jump height and grip strength, and RPE, are related to baseline variables using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The sample size (minimum 15) was calculated with G*Power for a paired t-test (d = 0.80, alpha = 0.05, power = 0.80).

Eksperimentel: Young Judo Athletes
Male judo athletes aged 10-13 years complete baseline physical profiling, followed by one standardized 3-minute simulated judo match. Blood lactate, jump height, grip strength and perceived exertion are measured before and immediately after the match. |
One 3-minute simulated judo match (randori) performed under International Judo Federation rules against a training partner of similar body mass (±5 kg), supervised by a coach. Athletes are instructed to fight at maximal competitive intensity.
Andre navne:
McGill core endurance tests, 2-kg backward overhead medicine ball throw, 20-m sprint, pro-agility test and force-velocity profile (Samozino's field method). Followed by pre- and post-match measures of blood lactate, countermovement jump height, handgrip strength and rating of perceived exertion. |
