Descrição e relevância percebida de práticas de treinamento e de perda rápida de competidores de Jiu- Jitsu brasileiro

Abstract

During the last decade, jiu-jitsu (BJJ) has been going through the process of sportivization and professionalization. Thanks to this, the increase in competitive BJJ events at all levels (state, national and world) has become recurrent. Taking this into account, there is a need to evaluate the training of athletes in the state of Ceará to prepare for competitions, with the aim of starting a specialized work of physical preparation focused on high performance. This research took place with competing athletes from different teams, techniques and fighting strategies. Men and women were invited to participate in the survey, in all categories by weight between graduations; blue, purple, brown and black governed by the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF). This occurred through visits to their training locations, field research during championships and filling out an electronic research form shared through the tool, Google Forms. As a result, 34 athletes participated in the research, all residents in the state of Ceará - BR, with an average height and weight of 172.1 cm and 84.8 kg, divided into all categories according to the IBJJF. The frequency of Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) training was divided into 3 to 4 sessions on average with a volume of 8 to 10 hours per week, with 70.6% of respondents taking <10 minutes to warm up per session, prioritizing technical- tactical training. The study also pointed out that training has been optimized with physical activities beyond BJJ, and that strength training is performed on average 2-3 times a week by 52.9%. Which takes 58.3 min per session, followed by aerobic training at 47.6 min per session. As for weight loss, it was seen that 79.4% lose weight to compete, that 67.5% have lost weight ranging from 2-10 kg and that they started with rapid weight loss (PRP) around 18-19 years. All participants practiced aerobic, strength, Crossfit, circuit or functional training and some cases practiced other fights. But it's not clear how or on what basis the participants decided how to split their training. It was seen that the priority of the technical-tactical study aims to cover as many situations as possible in the search for better performance. Knowing this information, it is evident that the evolution in training requires organization in a specific way based on evidence.
