Abstract. In this paper we compared the effects of a nine-month judo program (JT; N=30) and recreational sports-games training program (SGT; N=49) on the fitness development of 7-year-old girls. Both programs were performed 3 times a week. Apart from body height (BH), body weight (BW) and skinfold thickness (SUM2SF), changes in muscular and cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, speed, agility and coordination were studied. Using the analysis of variance we found: (A) no differences between the groups at the onset of the study, (B) after 9 months, the JT participants achieved significantly better results in the shuttle run task used to test agility, the sit-up test for abdominal muscle endurance, the sit-and-reach test for flexibility, and flexed arm hang for muscular endurance. The JT group also maintained their SUM2SF over the 9-month period while the SGT showed a significant increase in SUM2SF. There was, however, no difference between the groups in terms of coordination, flexibility of the shoulder joint, speed, cardiovascular endurance, BH and BW. In conclusion, the specialized JT allowed the participants to improve more in their fitness capacities compared to non-specialized SGT.

DŽUDO KAO EFIKASNIJI METOD TRENIRANJA U RAZVOJU KONDICIJE OD REKREATIVNOG SPORTA KOD SEDMOGODIŠNJIH DEVOJČICA
U ovom radu smo poredili uticaj devetomesečnog džudo programa (JT; N=30) i rekreativno-sportskog programa (SGT; N=49) na kondicioni razvoj sedmogodišnjih devojčica. Oba programa sprovodila su se tri puta nedeljno. Pored visine tela (BH), težine tela (BW) i debljine kožnih nabora (SUM2SF), promene u muskulaturi i kardiovaskularnoj izdržljivosti, fleksibilnosti, brzini, okretnosti i koordinaciji su takođe proučavane. Koristeći analizu varijance utvrdili smo: (A) da nije postojala razlike između grupa na početku istraživanja, (B) nakon perioda od 9 meseci, JT učesnici postigli su značajno bolje rezultate u testovima okretnosti, testovima za izdržljivost abdominalnih mišića, testovima fleksibilnosti, i testovima mišićne izdržljivosti. JT grupa je takođe zadržala svoj SUM2SF tokom ovih devet meseci, dok je SGT pokazala značajan porast u SUM2SF. Međutim, nije bilo razlike među grupama u pogledu koordinacije, fleksibilnosti ramena, brzine, kardiovaskularne izdržljivosti, visine i težine tela. Možemo zaključiti da je specijalizovani džudo program omogućio učesnicama da poboljšaju svoju kondiciju u poređenju sa nespecijalizovanim rekreativnim sportskim programom.
