摘要：In this paper we compared the effects of a nine-month judo program (JT; N=30) and recreational sports-games training program (SGT; N=49) on the fitness development of 7-year-old girls. Both programs were performed 3 times a week. Apart from body height (BH), body weight (BW) and skinfold thickness (SUM2SF), changes in muscular and cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, speed, agility and coordination were studied. Using the analysis of variance we found: (A) no differences between the groups at the onset of the study, (B) after 9 months, the JT participants achieved significantly better results in the shuttle run task used to test agility, the sit-up test for abdominal muscle endurance, the sit-and-reach test for flexibility, and flexed arm hang for muscular endurance. The JT group also maintained their SUM2SF over the 9-month period while the SGT showed a significant increase in SUM2SF. There was, however, no difference between the groups in terms of coordination, flexibility of the shoulder joint, speed, cardiovascular endurance, BH and BW. In conclusion, the specialized JT allowed the participants to improve more in their fitness capacities compared to non-specialized SGT.
