Abstract

Aim of the study: to monitor changes of selected mental and physiological stress indicators judo sportsman.
Methods: The study included 20 elite judo athletes. Capillary blood was sampled from earlobe prior to the 1st, and then after 1st, 2nd, and 3rd struggles, each of them played on three consecutive days. LA and CK were assayed by kits of Dr. Lange -GERMANY. Athletes did not perform any extra efforts during the tournament.
Results: Judo match is an intensive, anaerobic exertion that produces high level of LA and CK progressively increased following successive fights reaching maximal values after final exertion. At competitions, it is often said that this is the magic of numbers, and it beats both ways, namely that the sportsman who are titled are world champions, in a sense they are a bit stressed, and on the other hand, the sportsman who fight with the sportsman titled, in a way they are a bit stressed that they are definitely better.
Conclusions: The mental support of the trainer relieves stress, and experienced athletes have different strategies of coping with stress, which differ depending on, for example, personality profile. Average, individual differences in CK values indicate that each boxer would be classified to the high-, medium- or low responder to the effort. The results also have a clinical application value of implementing movements for rehabilitation of people with body balance problems.
