Analysis of grip specificity on force production in grapplers and its effect on bilateral deficit grip specificity and bilateral deficit in force production among grapplers
The use of strength training is important for athletes in combat sports such as judo and jiu-jitsu. Specificity is key when prescribing strength training programs for athletes, considering maximal strength, muscular power and strength-endurance. Grappling combat sports require grip control, which is necessary to execute throwing techniques and groundwork. The aim of this study was to verify the bilateral strength deficit in general and in grappli…
Participation in the International Judo Federation World Tour competitions and performance in Tokyo Olympic Games
Introduction The International Judo Federation introduced a ranking system in 2009 that determines top athletes for the Olympic Games and seeds them in competitions. Previous research indicated that this ranking list and past performances predicted 19%–27% of performance in the Olympic Games and World Championships. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the relationship between Judo World Tour competitions and Olympic Games performance may have …
Sumiyuki Kotani, the Kodokan Emissary to Brazil
In 1882, in a temple called Eishoji, Jigoro Kano unified the knowledge of ancient jujutsu schools into a system he called Kodokan Judo. At the beginning of the twentieth century, judo became popular outside Japan and during this period Kano traveled through several countries to propagate his method. Traveling with Kano was Sumiyuki Kotani, one of the most important names in Kodokan history. The two traveled to countries such as England, France, G…
The Role of Competition Area and Training Type on Physiological Responses and Perceived Exertion in Female Judo Athletes

Developing muscle power for combat sports athletes
In combat sports, the specificity of the training requires that the athlete improve all performance indicators associated with the match. For this reason, muscle power seems to be determinant during the application of the techniques that result in scores, specifically punches, kicks, elbows, knees, throwing techniques, transitions to the groundwork and some groundwork techniques and sometimes, the win match by knockout. Based in these information…
