Background. Modern judo is a high-intensity dynamic sport that requires high movement coordination, excellent physical fitness and perfect tactical skills for success, with the success techniques, tactics and motor skills being notably weight-class-dependent.

Objective of the study was to develop and test benefits of the Sakha ethnic sports model for physical progress in the beginner (9-10 year-olds’) judo trainings by a 3-month experiment and tests.

Methods and structure of the study. Physical progress of the sample was tested by a set of standard physical fitness tests prior to and after the experiment. Sampled for the study (run in January through April) were 9-10 year-old judo trainees split up into Experimental (EG) and Reference (RG) Groups of 10 people each. The RG trainings were standard for the age group, and the EG trainings gave a special priority to the following ethnic Sakha (Yakut) sport games: (1) Falconry; (2) Fifteen; (3) Tug on Sticks; (4) Falcon and Fox; (5) Partridge and Hunters; (6) Fishermen and Fish; (7) Deer Teams; (8) Triple Jump; (9) Deer Outing; (10) Wolf and Deer; (11) Nanai Wrestling; (12) Catch!; (13) Wolf and Foals; and (14) Tug Game.

Results and discussion. Given in Table 1 hereunder are the post-experimental physical fitness test data of the RG versus EG. It should be noted that the EG was on average 0.06s better in the shuttle sprint test than the RG; and 0.34cm better in the standing long jump test.

Furthermore, the EG was tested 0.5cm better than the RG in the rope jump test; 2 times better in the recumbent sit-up test; and 3.7 times better in the prone push-ups test, with the RG also demonstrating some progress in the latter test.

Conclusion. The Sakha ethnic sports prioritizing model was tested beneficial for physical progress in the beginner (9-10 year old) judo trainings as verified by the significant progress Experimental Group compared to Reference Group in the tested physical qualities.

We would underline a few points of special importance for the beginner education and training process design and management – depending on the actual training situation and goals. Thus the trainings: (1) should be customized to the actual physical fitness and skills; (2) take into account the motivations, feelings, thinking qualities and willpowers of the trainees; (3) cultivate conscious and determined attitudes to the trainings; (4) encourage respectful, understanding and friendly climate in the team; (5) secure the trainees’ efficient accommodation for the training models and workloads when they are revised; (6) facilitate the excellence process by practical exemplary exercises; and (7) the training tools need to be individualized with account of each athlete’s progress in trainings and competitions.

Abstract

Modern judo is a high-intensity dynamic sport that requires high movement coordination, excellent physical fitness and perfect tactical skills for success, with the success techniques, tactics and motor skills being notably weight-class-dependent. The beginner (primary school age) judo trainings are traditionally dominated by the physical fitness focused ones. Ethnic Sakha sports are widely popular in the region for their practical benefits proved by the centuries-old traditions. Objective of the study was to develop and test benefits of the Sakha ethnic sports model for physical progress in the beginner (9-10 year-olds’) judo trainings by a 3-month experiment and tests. The experimental training model included three 2-hour training session a week, with every experimental ethnic Sakha exercise repeated 5-6 times and combined with the traditional physical fitness practices. The Sakha ethnic sports driven model was tested beneficial for physical progress in the beginner judo trainings as verified by the significant progress Experimental Group compared to Reference Group in the tested physical qualities.
