Abstract
Introduction: The improvement of physical training for adolescent judokas is a key issue in sports pedagogy, as this stage is crucial for developing essential qualities like strength, coordination, and endurance. Objective: The purpose of the study was to experimentally substantiate the effectiveness of using dynamic game exercises in the training process of adolescents engaged in judo as a means of improving physical qualities that determine the level of technical skill, coordination, endurance, and functional readiness. Methodology: The study involved 24 adolescent males aged 13-15 years (mean age = 14.2 ± 0.6 years) from two sports schools. Methods used included pedagogical experiment, testing of special physical fitness, variation statistics, correlation, and cluster analysis. The experiment lasted 10 weeks and was conducted between September and December 2024. Results: Based on the results of the final tests, significant advantages of the experimental group were established, which performed dynamic game exercises integrated into the training process. The most pronounced increase was observed in the complex coordination and strength exercise – 37.6%, which indicates effective stimulation of intermuscular interaction and spatiotemporal coordination. Discussion: In the development of muscle endurance, an increase of 33.6% was recorded, which is almost three times higher than in the control group (10.5%). The increase in the tempo performance of technical actions was 25%, while in the control group – 11%. Conclusions: The overall integral growth rate in the experimental group was 26.1%, while in the control group – only 12.4%, confirming the systemic effectiveness of the proposed approach.
