Speed of moving in judo practitioners and handball players depending on a route of running

Combat sports, especially judo, are among acyclic sports which are characterised by changeable intensity of effort and frequent changes of fight conditions [1]. At the same time, movements of judo practitioners have to be very accurate and fast, otherwise, the techniques applied during the fight are ineffective. For these reasons, this sport is classified as being on the highest, i.e. the third level of coordinative complexity [2]. Nevertheless, researchers rarely tackle the issue of motor coordination and a speed effort in this sport. Movement coordination depends on physical processes based primarily on the nervous system properties. In the accessible literature there are definitions of 5 [3] up to 11 [4] basic (elementary) coordinative skills. A high level of coordinative skills conditions the efficiency of learning new technical elements as well as the way of conducting sports competition, particularly in sports dominated by open motor structures [5, 6]. The richness of techniques in a given sport influences di rectly the importance of motor coordination in this sport. In the technically complex sports (such as jujutsu or wrestling) it is the most important component [3]. In scientific debate while comparing physique parameters with chosen motor skills in judo, researchers seek an optimal solution in response to the question of which features especially predispose players to achieve the highest possible results [7,8]. Game effort in handball is based on natural movements such as running, jumping or throwing. A large area of the game (40mx20m court), constant physical contact and the speed of actions necessitate perfect preparation of the players not only with regard to techniques and tactics, but also concerning their motor skills. Due to an unlimited number of changes, the
