The effect of time of day on Special Judo Fitness Test in active judokas: Evaluation in terms of chronotype

In conclusion, coaches and exercise experts should consider judo athletes' chronotype when planning special training programs to improve judo-specific anaerobic capacity. Furthermore, to minimize the impact of time of day and chronotype on athletes' performance in competitions, it is recommended that MT athletes develop their judo-specific anaerobic capacity in the evening hours, when their performance is lower, while ET athletes should do so in the morning hours when their performance is lower via randori training.PMID:38124619 | DOI:10.1080/07420528.2023.2276196
