Background and Study Aim: Wrestling belongs to the group of multidisciplinary acyclic sports which require well-trained physical, technical, tactical and psychological abilities. Based on the former result analysis, it can be noticed that there is a need for designing tests for evaluation of wrestlers’ specific performance abilities. The aim of the research is the reliability and usefulness quantitative descriptive indicators of given properties of wrestler’s based on results two innovative specific tests. Material and Methods: The test-retest procedure was used to define the reliability: Specific Wrestling Fitness Test (SWFT); Specific Wrestling Performance Test (SWPT). The sample consisted of 8 male wrestlers who compete at national level, aged 20.43 ±2.06 years. A dummy was used as a prop, and the “suplex” technique as a standard throw; the load was relativised by using three different weight dummies. In relation to the test and the attempts, the total number of throws, metabolic and cardiac indicators, as well as the derived criterion variables of specific performance were observed. Results: The reliability indicators and applied tests and abilities measured were determined as reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.798 to 0.953; IIC: 0.664 to 0.910; ICC: 0.674 to 0.957), and quite sensitive to the change of results achieved. Describing the same characteristic of applied variables for specific wrestling performance evaluation was determined by the factor analysis. Therefore all variables could be successfully implemented in the wrestling practice. Conclusions: These tests provide the possibility to wrestling coaches to individually realise testing during a season, and to use certain performance evaluation models, depending on the informational needs and available equipment in the function of better performance description, in order to improve the sports training methodology and to increase the knowledge fundus.

Background Anthropologists’ research repeated for over half a century now prove that the body build constitutes one of the elements differentiating sportsmen from persons not carrying out a systematic physical training. However, in the population of sportsmen one deals with the accumulation two factors – features of persons selected to practise a particular sport (thus with the greatest predispositions) and the results of training. The aim of the study was to properties of the body build among judo competitors of the national team compared to persons of the same population not practising professional sport. Material & Methods: The study involved competitors from the Polish national team in men’s judo (n=14). Competitors’ age 20–30 (x=23 years), body mass 63 kg to 160 kg (x=93.8 kg), body height 166–197 cm (x=179.3 cm), training experience 13±4.2 years. The reference group was made up of students of Warsaw Technical University (Poland). Eighteen basic somatic features were measured. Slenderness, Rohrer’s, BMI, and Manouvrier’s indices were calculated. Body density, complete body fat, active tissue, overall profile of the body build and internal proportions of the body build were determined. Results: Weight categories (with the increase in body mass, a distinct decrease in slenderness features takes place) are an important factor determining morphological differentiation of judo competitors. Proportions of features of factors analysed internally show that competitors of all weight categories are characterised by particularly strong muscles of the forearm and weak ones of the shank. Conclusions: A selection of an appropriate technique of fight (throws, grips, feints and their combinations) to the body build and other components of the judo competitor’s personality still remains an open issue. These problems must be tackled by coaches in reference to particular competitors individually.

Background Kendo is an example of a decision-making sport and involves rapidly alternating defensive and offensive movements of a shinai (bamboo sword). The aim of this study was response time and muscle activation patterns during two types of kendo strikes. Material & Methods:: Kendo athletes (n=7), other athletes (n=7), and sedentary participants (n=7) performed 10 “Men” strikes (target height, 1.65 m) and 10 “Kote” strikes (target height, 1.15 m). Muscle activity of the bilateral biceps brachii, bilateral triceps brachii, and right flexor carpi ulnaris muscles was recorded using electromyography (EMG). Results: The kendo and other athletes had similar response times and shorter response times than the sedentary participants. The kendo athletes exhibited different timing of muscle activation onset between the two tasks, whereas the other athletes and sedentary participants exhibited no differences in timing. The EMG magnitude differed between kendo athletes and non-kendo subjects (other athletes and sedentary participants). Conclusions: In decision-making sports, differences in neuromuscular control, but not in response times, are associated with athletic experience.

Background The aim of study was to expand the knowledge about the caloric cost (CC) of trainings in selected combat sports and martial arts, in the context of daily recommended physical activity necessary for health. Material & Methods: The study was conducted in a total of 89 men who recreationally trained 3–4 times a week aikido, capoeira, jujutsu, kick boxing, kyokushin karate, traditional karate, vma (various martial arts). For the measurements of training CC, “Caltrac Monitor” accelerometers (Muscle Dynamics, Inc. Torrance, CA, USA) were used. CC of three 60-minute workouts was monitored in each of the seven tested combat sports and martial arts, and the average results were given in kilocalories per hour (kcal/h) (absolute CC of exercises). The intensity of exercises was measured by multiplicity of metabolic equivalent (MET) (index of relative CC of trainings). Absolute and relative values of CC in each martial arts were compared to health-oriented physical activity (PA) recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine. Results: We have demonstrated that the majority of men taking part in combat sports and martial arts trainings met the criteria of daily physical activity for health. Conclusions: In the further studies on CC of combat sports and martial arts practice, measurement devices should be used that allow estimation of the ratio of training exercises with low, moderate, high and very high intensities.
背景本研究的目的是在健康所需的每日推荐体力活动的背景下，扩大对选定格斗运动和武术训练的热量消耗(CC)的了解。材料与方法:研究对象为89名男性，他们每周进行3-4次合气道、卡波埃拉、柔术、跆拳道、空手道、传统空手道、vma(各种武术)的娱乐性训练。对于训练CC的测量，“Caltrac Monitor”加速计(肌肉动力学公司)。Torrance, CA, USA)。在七个测试的格斗运动和武术中，每一个都监测了三次60分钟锻炼的CC，平均结果以每小时千卡(kcal/h)(运动的绝对CC)给出。运动强度用代谢当量(MET)(训练相对CC指数)测定。将各武术项目CC的绝对值和相对值与美国运动医学学院推荐的健康导向体力活动(PA)进行比较。结果:大多数参加搏击运动和武术训练的男性符合日常身体活动的健康标准。结论:在搏击运动与武术训练CC的进一步研究中，应采用测量装置，估算低、中、高、超高强度训练动作的比例。

Background Body balance disturbation tolerance skills (BBDTS) can be defined as the ability to maintain the vertical posture in the circumstances of the fall hazard. The aim of this study is appropriateness and reliability of ‘Rotational Test’ (RT) as BBDTS measurement tool. Material & Methods: RT consists of six tasks (consecutive jumps with body rotation of 360° alternately to the right and to the left). The overall result is the sum of the six tasks and includes 0 to 18 stipulated points. Criterion-oriented validity (concurrent validity and predictive validity); content validity; construct validity have been assumed to be the main criteria of appropriateness. Reliability of the RT is based on the ‘test-retest’ formula. Following all phases of the validation process we have examined 1398 people aged from 6 to 60 years. Results: RT individual results consisted of 0 to 18 points, however in homogeneous groups the average RT result varied from 0.33 to 11.06 points. RT satisfies methodological criteria of appropriateness and reliability of a tool which indirectly indicates the quality of the body mechanisms responsible for balance and postural control. Reliability of the RT has been determined as high (‘test-retest’ correlation varies from 0.828 to 0.848). Conclusions: RT is sensitive to the factors modifying BBDTS – especially adaptive changes related to a long-term training as well as the influence of the current state of the body and/or a sudden change in the conditions of motor action. Thus, RT can be widely used in rehabilitation, health-related training, motor control (sport, physical education, etc.), the selection process in the army, police, emergency services, etc.

Background There is little information about the metabolic response during cyclical exercise requiring great strength and of extreme duration, that which represents the limit of human capacity. Material & Methods: A weight lifter trained for and carried out a 24-hour session of continuous sit-ups with abtoner in the form of an arc. The diet during the event was carefully designed and given to the athlete every hour. The metabolic, haematological and antibody response was measured in the capillary blood samples taken every four hours during the exercise. Results: A minimum level of glucose was observed at the midpoint of exercise, followed by a return to the basal level. During the second half of the exercise session, there was a steady and elevated level of urea. Plasmatic markers of muscular damage (CK and LDH) increased steadily during the first half of the exercise session, and remained at their maximum level (2800 U/l and 700 U/l, respectively) during the second half. Granulocytes reached their maximum level at the midpoint of exercise and diminished afterwards, whereas agranulocytes increased gradually until the end of the exercise session. IgA and IgG showed their lowest level at hour 4, and again at the end of the exercise. There was a high positive correlation between markers of muscular damage (urea, uric acid, inorganic phosphorous, and agranulocytes) during exercise. Conclusions: 1. low carbohydrate consumption did not significantly limit performance of athlete; 2. the permeability of the membrane is the dominant factor for the CK response during.

Background We can talk about lifestyle when we deal with certain configurations of behaviour patterns, relatively constant and repetitive, in situations where there are conditions for alternative behaviours. Vitally significant in the realization of lifestyles are values which constitute the basis for human action, the criteria for the choices made. The aim of the study was socio-demographic conditions of the realization of health-oriented lifestyles by women. Material & Methods: Research conducted between 1999 and 2004 included 1361 women aged 20–75, living in cities of western Poland and participating in recreational physical exercise (purposive sampling). The diagnostic survey method was employed (the techniques of questionnaire, interview, List of Health Criteria). For the verification of the research hypotheses concerning the conditions (age, number of children, professional activity) of a health-oriented lifestyle (the recognized health and/or physical fitness values were set together with health-related behaviours: physical activity, forms of vacation, nutritional status, avoidance of smoking, moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages) the c2 independence test and the multiple correspondence analysis were used. Results: Women who appreciated the values of health and physical fitness (28.1%) were mostly characterized by manyyear participation in physical exercise (p=0.0123 for the c2 test), choice of active forms of relaxation (p=0.0396 for the c2 test), moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages (p=0.0353 for the c2 test), mainly with low alcohol content (p=0.0054 for the c2 test). No statistically significant dependences were found between recognition of these values and smoking or body weight of the subjects. Women who recognize the values of health and physical activity, or only health, with 7 or more years of history of participation in physical recreation, choosing vacations directly connected with physical activity and avoiding consumption of alcoholic beverages, are mainly professionally active or temporarily inactive individuals aged 30 to 49, having one child. Conclusions: In the dissemination of physical activity in our society it is necessary to promote the value of physical activity, presenting it in the context of health-oriented lifestyle. Lifestyle in such an approach can be applied in analysing the results of the process of education.
