Brief summary

There will be a three-month intervention with two groups: judo training and ball games, twice a week, for 50 minutes. The sample will consist of children and adolescents with low socioeconomic status, participants of a philanthropic institution, aged between 6 and 15 years, who will be randomized in the two groups mentioned above. Motor skills, physical fitness, cardiovascular parameters and questionnaire assessing socioeconomic status, quality of life, physical activity level, screen time, sleep quality, back pain, food intake and body image dissatisfaction will be evaluated.

Detailed description

The sample will be of 66 participants, randomized into two groups 33 in judo and 33 in ball games. According to the sample calculation based on the study of Bala and Drid (2010) title Anthropometric and Motor Features of Young Judoists in Vojvodina, who analyzed motor skills in young judokas and untrained control, using the variable slalom with 3 balls (functional coordination and the age group from 11 to 13 years. In which the difference between the means was of 36.86 and the standard deviation of 53.78, with the power of the 80% test and significance of 5% in boys. In girls the sample calculation was the same number (33 for group) using the same variable slalom with 3 balls (functional coordination and the some age group from 11 to 13 years, the difference between the means was 10.45 and the standard deviation of 15.05, with the power of the 80% test and significance of 5% The present study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of FCT/UNESP (CAAE: 26702414.0.0000.5402), with the number of opinion 549.549. Interventions Judo Training Judo intervention will take place twice a week, lasting 50 minutes per session, divided into general exercises: warm-up and stretching specific to the sport; Specific exercises of the sport: shock absorption, falls cushioning (Ukemi-waza), immobilization techniques (hon-kesa-gatame and tate-shiho-gatame) and projection (o-soto-gari, o-goshi, ashi-guruma, koshi-guruma, tai-otoshi and others); And fight simulation: randori. Ball Games The Ball Games will take place twice a week, with a duration of 50 minutes per session, divided into general exercises: heating and specific stretching with ball; Specific exercises of the sport: fundamentals of sports with ball, exercises with ball; And games: games will be given at the end of the lesson to work out all the fundamentals and specific exercises in general. Statistical Analysis We will perform the Shapiro-Wilks normality test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) of repeated measures and the effect size will be calculated by Eta Squared, all using SPSS Software version 13.0 and adopting a significance of 5%.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change of EquilibriumBaseline and three months of follow upThe motor skills will be by means of the Körperkoordination Test für Kinder (KTK) (Kiphard, Schilling, 1974) test battery consisting of four stations, and Equilibrium Beam is one, in which the evaluated one must walk on backs of three different widths, measured in how many steps on the toolbar.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change of Lateral JumpingBaseline and three months of follow upThe motor skills will be by means of the Körperkoordination Test für Kinder (KTK) (Kiphard, Schilling, 1974) test battery consisting of four stations: Lateral Jumping is one, consisting of the execution of the maximum of lateral jumps in 15 seconds, measured in number of jumps.
Change of Platform TransferBaseline and three months of follow upThe motor skills will be by means of the Körperkoordination Test für Kinder (KTK) (Kiphard, Schilling, 1974) test battery consisting of four stations: Platform Transfer the maximum transfers in 20 seconds.
Change of Monopedal jumpBaseline and three months of follow upThe motor skills will be by means of the Körperkoordination Test für Kinder (KTK) (Kiphard, Schilling, 1974) test battery consisting of four stations: Monopedal jump is one, in which the child jumps with one leg at a time trying to reach the maximum height, measured by means of a score adding the score of the two legs.
Change of Heart RateBaseline and three months of follow upHeart rate will be measured using an Omron oscillometric device validated for this population (Zanuto et al., 2016), measured in beats per minute (bpm).
Change of Blood PressureBaseline and three months of follow upSystolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured using an Omron oscillometric device validated for this population (Christofaro et al., 2009), measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Change of Heart Rate VariabilityBaseline and three months of follow uphe heart rate variability was evaluated by means of a Polar frequency meter model RS800, in which it measures linear time and frequency domains and nonlinear domains such as the Poincaré Plot.
Change of AgilityBaseline and three months of follow upAgility will be measured by means of the Shuttle Run test, measured in seconds.
Change of Strenght of upper limbsBaseline and three months of follow upThe strength of upper limbs by force on the bar, measured in repetitions.
Change of Manual gripping forceBaseline and three months of follow upThe manual gripping force by means of the dynamometer, measured in Kilograms.
Change of Quality of LifeBaseline and three months of follow upQuality of life was assessed by the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire validated by Guedes and Guedes (2011) for children and adolescents offering information on health-related quality of life.

Change of Back PainBaseline and three months of follow upBack pain will be evaluated using questionnaire, which asks if there is pain, tingling or numbness in the last year both in the upper and lower back and if it is impossible to perform the activities A health professional because of the pain and felt that pain in the last week. As well as for a pain scale of 0 to 10, if the individual presents pain.
Change of Sleep QualityBaseline and three months of follow upThe time of sleep, hours of sleep and quality of sleep will be evaluated by means of the mini sleep questionaire, in which it sees the frequency in which the individual presents problems in sleep, by score, being the lowest quality And higher lower quality sleep.
Change of Body Image DissatisfactionBaseline and three months of follow upBody image dissatisfaction will be assessed through the silhouettes scale for children and adolescents proposed by Kakeshita et al. (2009), in which it presents 11 figures from the smallest to the largest silhouette. With questions like: Which picture represents your current body? Which of these figures represents the body you would like to have? And Which figure represents the ideal body for your gender?
Socioeconomic ConditionBaseline and three months of follow upThe questionnaire of the Brazilian Association of Research Companies (ABEP) to analyze the socioeconomic level and the educational level of the parents will be applied in adolescents.
Change of Food IntakeBaseline and three months of follow upWill be questioned how many days of the week in numbers the individual consumes fruits, vegetables and vegetables, dairy, fried, sweets, grains, white meat, soft drinks and snacks.
Physical Activity LevelBaseline and three months of follow upThe questionnaire of Baecke et al. (1982) will analyze individual habits by measuring the level of physical activity in different domains
Change of Abdominal strenghtBaseline and three months of follow upAgility will be measured by means of the Shuttle Run test, the strength of upper limbs by force on the bar, as well as the manual gripping force by means of the dynamometer, The abdominal strength with the one minute test the maximum number of repetitions.
