Respiratory Muscle Strength and Jiu-Jitsu-Specific Performance in Male Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Athletes

26 augustus 2026 bijgewerkt door: Halic University

Relationship of Maximal Inspiratory and Expiratory Pressures With Jiu-Jitsu-Specific Anaerobic Performance and Static Kimono Grip Endurance in Male Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Athletes: A Cross-Sectional Study

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is an intermittent combat sport that requires repeated high-intensity efforts and sustained gripping. This analytical cross-sectional study will examine whether respiratory muscle strength is associated with BJJ-specific anaerobic performance and static kimono grip endurance in adult male BJJ athletes. Forty athletes will attend three assessment visits separated by 48 to 72 hours. Maximal inspiratory pressure, maximal expiratory pressure, and spirometric indices (forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1], FEV1/FVC ratio, and peak expiratory flow [PEF]) will be measured at the first visit. The Jiu-Jitsu Anaerobic Performance Test and the Maximum Static Kimono Grip Test will be completed at the other two visits in randomized order. The primary analysis will examine the association between maximal inspiratory pressure and the total number of valid repetitions completed during the Jiu-Jitsu Anaerobic Performance Test. Spirometric indices will be evaluated as secondary outcomes.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

This is an analytical cross-sectional observational study involving 40 male Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes aged 18 to 40 years. Assessments will be completed during three visits separated by 48 to 72 hours. At Visit 1, eligibility will be assessed and written informed consent will be obtained. Demographic and sport-related information, including self-reported height, body weight, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience, will be recorded. Spirometry will be performed using acceptable and repeatable forced expiratory maneuvers in accordance with current ATS/ERS technical standards. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio, and peak expiratory flow (PEF) will be recorded; percent-predicted and z-score values will also be documented when available. Respiratory muscle strength will be assessed as maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP). Participants will perform at least five acceptable maneuvers for each pressure measurement, with up to eight attempts when necessary. The highest acceptable value meeting reproducibility criteria will be recorded in cmH2O. At Visits 2 and 3, participants will complete the Jiu-Jitsu Anaerobic Performance Test (JJAPT) and the Maximum Static Kimono Grip Test on separate days in randomized order. Before each performance test, participants will complete a standardized sport-specific warm-up. The JJAPT consists of five 60-second work bouts separated by 45 seconds of passive recovery. A partner whose body weight is within 5% of the participant's self-reported body weight will be used, and the total number of valid butterfly-guard lifting repetitions will be recorded. For the static kimono grip test, a kimono is wrapped around a horizontal bar and the participant maintains a suspended position with maximal elbow flexion for as long as possible; performance is recorded in seconds. The primary analysis will assess the relationship between MIP and JJAPT total valid repetitions. Secondary analyses will assess MEP in relation to JJAPT performance and MIP and MEP in relation to static kimono grip endurance. Spirometric indices will be summarized descriptively and examined in exploratory secondary analyses in relation to the performance outcomes. Self-reported body weight and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience in months will be considered as prespecified covariates.

Primaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Jiu-Jitsu Anaerobic Performance Test Total Valid Repetitions
Tijdsspanne: At Visit 2 or Visit 3, within 6 days after Visit 1
Total number of valid butterfly-guard lifting repetitions completed across five 60-second work bouts separated by 45 seconds of passive recovery. Higher values indicate better BJJ-specific anaerobic performance.
At Visit 2 or Visit 3, within 6 days after Visit 1

Secundaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Maximal Inspiratory Pressure
Tijdsspanne: At Visit 1
The highest acceptable maximal inspiratory pressure meeting prespecified reproducibility criteria, recorded in centimeters of water (cmH2O). Higher values indicate greater inspiratory muscle strength.
At Visit 1
Maximal Expiratory Pressure
Tijdsspanne: At Visit 1
The highest acceptable maximal expiratory pressure meeting prespecified reproducibility criteria, recorded in centimeters of water (cmH2O). Higher values indicate greater expiratory muscle strength.
At Visit 1
Maximum Static Kimono Grip Test Time
Tijdsspanne: At Visit 2 or Visit 3, within 6 days after Visit 1
Maximum time, in seconds, that the participant maintains a suspended position with maximal elbow flexion while gripping a kimono wrapped around a horizontal bar. Higher values indicate greater static kimono grip endurance.
At Visit 2 or Visit 3, within 6 days after Visit 1
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
Tijdsspanne: At Visit 1
Forced vital capacity measured by spirometry and recorded in liters (L). Percent-predicted and z-score values will also be documented when available. Higher values generally indicate greater ventilatory volume, with interpretation based on appropriate reference limits.
At Visit 1
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)
Tijdsspanne: At Visit 1
Forced expiratory volume in the first second measured by spirometry and recorded in liters (L). Percent-predicted and z-score values will also be documented when available. Higher values generally indicate greater expiratory volume in the first second, interpreted using appropriate reference limits.

Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
Tijdsspanne: At Visit 1
Peak expiratory flow obtained during acceptable forced spirometry maneuvers and recorded in liters per second (L/s). The highest acceptable value will be recorded. Higher values indicate greater maximal expiratory flow.
