Abstract

This study presents a statistically substantiated investigation of the effects of a 12-week integration of CrossFit training complexes (twice per week within the weekly training cycle) on indicators of special work capacity in qualified judokas. Forty athletes (First Sports Rank, Candidate for Master of Sport) participated in the study and were divided into a control group (CG, n=20) and an experimental group (EG, n=20). The absence of statistically significant baseline differences between the groups confirmed their initial comparability. The main effectiveness criteria were the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) index and the time of the 3×10 m shuttle run. In the experimental group, statistically significant improvements were observed in both the SJFT index and the shuttle run performance (p<0.001), whereas no statistically significant improvements were recorded in the control group.
