Differences between judo trained boys aged 11 and 12 in some anthropological characteristics

Research was conducted on a sample of 108 subjects, out of which 41 were 11 year-old judokas, while 67 of them were 12-year-old judokas. The subjects were put through an array of 16 tests with the purpose of determining their motor and aerobic and anaerobic capacity, as well as their anthropological characteristics. The goal of this research was to compare certain anthropological characteristics of 11 and 12 year-old boys who take part in judo training. To process the data, an analysis of the different arithmetic means with the help of the t-test for independent groups of subjects was used. The 12 year-old judokas attained significantly better results in the variables for body height, body weight, size of forearm, polygon backwards, long jump from a still position, trunk lifting, floor dexterity, lateral steps, push-ups in 60 seconds and squats in 60 seconds. The differences can be attributed to a correctly planned and programmed training process, in line with the hierarchal structure of the equation of specification in judo for this age group, as well as an 18 month longer tenure in judo training for the 12 year-old boys.
