Abstract:

The specifics of the training process in Jiu-jitsu place high demands on the athlete's coordination abilities [13]. High level coordination abilities is one of the main ways of sports injuries preventing in martial arts. 60 people (average age 13.5±2.41) engaged in jiu-jitsu for 3-5 years were examined. It was done in order to select technologies for coordination abilities optimization. At the 1st stage stabilometric study helped to reveal an injury risk group of young athletes. The low coordination abilities, as: increase value of the normalized area vectorgram, a decrease in the average displacement rate of pressure center, increasing the area of the ellipse, a decrease in the linear speed of movement of the common pressure center were determined. At the 2nd stage, athletes at risk of injury were divided into two groups. The athletes of the main group used myofascial release and balance exercises (daily for 45 minutes - independently). In the control group, a masseur and an instructor performed general massage and physical therapy twice a week. Results. At the end of the experiment, signs of improvement in coordination abilities were registered in both groups. In the group that used myofascial release and a set of balance exercises, the changes were statistically significant. Conclusion. The results of this study allow us to recommend the use of myofascial release and a set of balance exercises at home to optimize coordination abilities and prevent injuries in young athletes engaged in jiu-jitsu.
