Abstract

The present paper is devoted to research into: 1. Defining the level of coordination in judokas of different training groups; 2. Defining the level of coordination depending on the proficiency level (sports class) and weight category; 3. Analysis of the influence of the coordination level on the results. 1. Judokas at the highest proficiency level (Seniors) had higher movement coordination. 2. Considerable coordination differences exist among judokas of different weight categories (e. g. in juniors the highest level was attained in the 65 and 78 kg categories). However, no distinct correlation between coordination level and weight category was reported. 3. The coordination level within the same weight category differed significantly among the judokas. 4. A single coordination components test is of supplementary value in diagnosing perspectives in motor development of judokas. Repeated tests are more important. 5. It was purposeful to investigate preparation of judokas, particularly in the part relating to development of coordination. Technical preparation limited to indispensable exercises carried out under standard conditions, is insufficient. Develompent of movement symmetry as a significant component of coordination improvement cannot be omitted. Verf.-Referat
