Sažetak
Analysis of judo throwing techniques, as the most important attacking structures in a judo match, can help experts to improve training process. The aim of this paper was to analyse and classify throwing techniques from the aspect of their importance in judo match. For this purpose eight judo experts assessed the importance of throwing techniques in seven official senior weight categories for men. Sample of entities consisted of 40 throwing techniques and the sample of variables consisted of seven weight categories. Cluster analysis was
used for the classification of throwing techniques. The Euclidean distance method and Ward’s method of cluster mergers was used. Differences between the established groups were tested by discriminant analysis. Unlike in some other classifications, a smaller number of groups was formed. According to the criterion of
importance two main groups of throws were identified (group A and B). Group B contains the most important and the most applicable throws in current judo matches whereas group A contains less important throwing techniques. Group A has been divided into two statistically significant different subgroups and group B into three statistically significant different subgroups. The proposed classification clearly distinguishes throwing techniques according to their performance importance and provides a clearer insight into the
technical structure of judo sport. The results of this research can be useful to judo experts for the selection of the most rational methods of the technical and tactical preparation and in the establishment of new and modern approaches to judo training.
