This study aimed to assess the effect of acute exposure to moderate altitude on kinematic
variables of the ippon-seoi-nage and on the mechanical outputs of the countermovement
jump (CMJ). Thirteen elite male judokas from the Spanish Judo Training Centre in Valencia
(age: 21.54 ± 2.15 years) participated in the study. All of them performed an incremental
CMJ test and an ippon-seoi-nage technique test before (N) and after the ascent to a moderate
altitude of 2320 m above the sea level (H). A linear velocity transducer was attached to
the bar to assess the mechanical outputs of each loaded CMJ at different percentages of
their own body weight (25, 50, 75 and 100%). A wearable sensor was used to assess the
kinematic variables (times, accelerations and angular velocities) transferred to a dummy
during the technique test. The kinematic variables showed great individual reliability (CV =
8.46% in N; CV = 8.37% in H), which contrasted with low reliability observed when the whole
group was considered. The smallest important CV ratio (>1.15) showed that H caused
changes in the reliability of the kinematic variables, with some variables becoming more reliable
and others losing the reliability they had in N. H also caused small increments in peak
velocity across all loads tested in the CMJ (+3.67%; P<0.05). In contrast, no changes in the
kinematic variables were verified.
