Аннотация
It is important to analyze the competitive activity of the skilled judo athletes. According to the results, the coaches can identify the advantages and disadvantages of the judokas. Also, this approach could be fruitful to imagine the current trends of the judo combats. The purpose of this study is to compare indicators of the competitive activity of the judo athletes by weight divisions. The indicators of the competitive activity (attacks, defenses and counter attacks), penalties and their reasons, ratios of scores that obtained in standing fight (Nage Waza) and groundwork fight (Katame Waza) and the attributes of the most frequently used techniques by different weight category judokas were compared. The results of the study show that attacks and defenses were implemented much more by the lightweight and middleweight category of the judo athletes. Penalties for “Non Combativity” were given for lightweight (50%) and heavyweight (55%) category judokas, while, “Avoid grip” was given most times for the middleweight (31%) category. The lightweight and middleweight category athletes were achieved mainlyin standing fight, 95% and 86% respectively. There were frequently performed Uchi-mata (41%) throws by the lightweight category athletes. The Seoi-nage throwing technique was mostly used by the middleweight and heavyweight category athletes, 33% and 23%, respectively. There were observed significant differences among the various weight categories. The lightweight and middleweight category athletes demonstrated more highly competitive activity than the heavyweight division. The analysis of the indices allowed characterizing the features specific to the representatives. In general, the results of this article can be applied in the practical work and planning the training process, especially the technical-tactical and physical training of the judokas.
