Analysis of the predominance of technical actions used in the 2021 European Judo Championship depending on combat time and golden score.

The interest of this study perspective, which allows us to interpret competitive action in more detail, is also important to reflect that according to the legal adaptations dictated by the rules of a modality, it makes its study necessary. The objective was to analyse the predominance of technical actions used in the 2021 European Judo Championship based on combat time and golden score. The study sample focused on 400 combats of the European Judo Championship 2021. We used an observation system created for this purpose, according to the classification system proposed by Kodokan. Cross-frequency tables were produced, where the association degree between variables was analysed using the Chi Square test, where the significance level was set at p = .05. We complemented the association analysis between variables by calculating the adjusted standardized residuals. The predominance of techniques and their effectiveness presented a similar hierarchy in both the combat and golden score phases. In golden score, women showed a significant association with hip techniques and men with frontal sacrifice techniques. Female athletes proved to be more effective in percentage terms in the golden score phase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
