OBJETIVO: Verificar sistematicamente na literatura as variáveis que explicam o desempenho esportivo de atletas de judô. MÉTODO: Foi realizada uma combinação dos termos martial arts, judo, combat sports, olympic combat sports, sport psychology, sport performance, socioeconomic status e athlete nas seguintes bases de dados: Scopus, Pubmed, Psycnet, Sport Discus, Science Direct, Web of Science, Bireme e Scielo. Ao final da busca, sete artigos atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade. RESULTADOS: o Efeito da Idade Relativa está presente nas categorias mais pesadas do judô. Estar ranqueado prevê parcialmente o desempenho competitivo. Na percepção de treinadores de judô, as valências físicas podem ser preditoras de resultado. A iniciação precoce não indica sucesso na fase adulta. Apoio social, prazer pela prática e determinação são importantes para o desenvolvimento do talento esportivo. CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que o desempenho no judô é um fenômeno multifatorial pouco estudado e que envolve aspectos de ordem biológica e ambiental.Palavras-chave: Judô; Esportes de combate; Desempenho no esporte; Atleta.

Insight Into

Given the relatively little attention devoted to the study of combat sports in the sport psychology literature, the aim of this investigation was to obtain additional insight into the life and world of professional boxers, particularly with respect to their experiences of training for fights. Existential phenomenological interviews were conducted with nine professional British boxers ranging in age from 22 to 42 years. Qualitative analysis of the transcripts revealed a total of 341 meaning units, which were further grouped into higher order themes. A final thematic structure revealed six major dimensions that characterized participants’ training experience: Achieving Potential, Preparing, Sacrificing, Finding Support, Fearing, and Loving/Hating. The results offer a number of insights for sport psychology researchers and practical implications for boxers, trainers, and sport psychology consultants.
