Comparación de la eficiencia de metodologías de enseñanza del judo: tradicional (Kodokan) versus la basada en modelos biomecánicos similares y el ABC

Abstract

In the teaching process, especially during formative stages, it is crucial to employ methods that ensure effective learning. The objective of this study is to determine the efficiency of applying traditional judo teaching methodologies compared to the biomechanical model-based method and the ABC of Judo, in students enrolled in the course “Combat Sports: Judo”, as part of the Physical Activity and Sports Pedagogy program at the University of Cuenca. The study involved 30 students from the Combat Sports: Judo course during the academic period September 2024 - February 2025. Participants were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 15 students, experimental and control, respectively. The sample consisted of 18 men and 12 women. The experimental group conducted their practices in the morning, while the control group practiced in the afternoon. Three weekly sessions were held over a span of three months. The study employed a quasi-experimental cross-sectional design, with teaching methodology, technical efficiency, and gender as the variables under examination. The results showed that there is no significant difference in the application of teaching methods between the groups (p=0.58). However, when analyzing by gender, it was evident that the experimental group had a significant difference compared to the control group in the female group (p=0.007). It was concluded that the methodology of similar biomechanical models and the ABC approach has a positive impact on women's technical performance, while no notable variations were observed in men.
