چکیده مقاله :
This study aimed to investigate the effects of eight weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on agility and motor performance in judokas. The study population included male judokas aged 15 to 18 from Iran Ma Club in East Tehran. A total of 24 participants were selected using a random sampling method. All participants completed a pre-test and were then randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 12) or a control group (n = 12). The experimental group underwent an 8-week HIIT program consisting of three sessions per week. Each session included eight stages, with 20 seconds of high-intensity exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest. During this period, the control group continued their regular judo training. After the intervention, all participants completed a post-test. Agility was assessed using the 4×9 agility test, while motor performance was evaluated through a 1-minute judo match. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests. Prior to analysis, the Shapiro–Wilk test confirmed the normality of the data (P > 0.05). The results showed that HIIT had a significant positive effect on both agility (P = 0.001) and motor performance (P = 0.001) in the experimental group. Participants in the experimental group performed significantly better than those in the control group (P = 0.001). These findings suggest that incorporating high-intensity interval training alongside specialized judo exercises can enhance performance in judokas.
