The study was to investigate physical fitness of Japanese Woman's Judo player in terms of maximum aerobic capacity and to compare the black belt group with white belt group and that of another top athlete group.
19 subjects were tested, including one foreign player. Maximum oxygen uptake was determined by the progressive loading method with Monark's bicycle ergometer. The pedal frequency was 60 rpm until the exhaustion. Gas was collected with Douglas bag and analyzed by Scholander technique. Maximum heart rates were determined from ECG method. Body density was computed with Nagamine and Suzuki's formula, and then, it was inserted into the Brozek's formula to produce the total body fat.
Maximum oxygen uptake averaged 2.09 1/min. in white belt group and 2.42 1/min. in black belt group. And then, black belt group showed higher values in Vo2max. /weight, Vo2max. /L. B.
