Assessment of the Anaerobic Speed Reserve during Specific High-Intensity Exercise in Judo Athletes

This study aimed to describe self-selected intensity and its relationship performance during a high-intensity all-out judo protocol, verify whether athletes with different anaerobic speed reserve (ASR) perform differently interval uchi-komi (judo-specific skill). We analyzed the of 28 as whole group divided into groups, according their ASR. They performed several judo-specific protocols using specific skill: maximal sprint (MSS) aerobic (MAS), intermittent protocol (12 × 20 s all-out:10 passive recovery). The main results demonstrated decrease in number repetitions an increase heart rate across sets. Athletes greater ASR higher repetitions, compared low group, they were able exercise at percentage MAS (low = 126%; SD 13%; high 152%, l9%) lower MSS 84%, 7%; 76%, 11%). However, both groups exercised similar own 50%, 20%; 53%, 19%). seem set pace around 50% within protocol. Therefore, is useful for predicting intervals.
