| Abstract | |
The teaching of Judo is largely based on common sense. Teachers usually apply the traditional method and little, if any, innovation has been found on the grounds of scientific knowledge. This study presents an investigation of teaching methods of throwing techniques of Judo from the perspective of Motor Learning. Traditional practice in different environment contexts was compared with practice that involved displacement exploration for kuzushis preparation whole practice and progressive parts practice. The learning of kuzushi was investigated by two experiments, involving two throwing techniques: o soto gari (experiment 1) and tai otoshi (experiment 2). In both experiments, the subjects were assigned in four experimental groups: static traditional; traditional in movement; whole with displacement and progressive parts with displacement. Each experiment consisted of four phases: pre-test; acquisition; final test and retention. The movements were recorded and analyzed as to global configuration of the throwing technique and kuzushi - divided in motor task and effect. Owing to the global configuration of the throwing technique, all the experimental groups of both experiments had significant evolution after practice. When comparisons among groups were performed, it was concluded that: a) the condition of practice in which the throwing technique was learned by the whole practice (most similar to the Judo fight with the projection of the opponent) led to superior performance on final and retention tests and b) the traditional practices (throwing technique in static position) implied only the form of the kuzushi, not its function, which is important to the movement to be learned (unbalance) (AU) | |
