Abstract
Background Thebiomechanicalefficiencyofjudothrowtechniquesdependsontheanthropometriccharacteristicsoftheop-ponent.Thisstudyaimedtoevaluatethemechanicalefficiencyoftheo soto garitechniquewhen appliedtojudo-istsofdifferentheightsinrelationtothethrower.
Material/Methods: Thefollowingfactorswerecompared:thetori angularvariationofknee,hipandtrunk;thetotalandpartialper-formancetimeandthedisplacementoftheverticaltrajectoryofthetori centerofmass(DCM).Threeuke ofshort-er,similarandtallerstaturethanthetori werekinematicallyanalyzedperformingteno soto garithrows.Theim-ageswererecordedat180HzusingthePeakMotusSystem3D.Thedatawereanalyzedbydescriptivestatistics,ANOVAandpost-hoc Tukey (p≤0.05).

Background
Judoisacomplexandphysicallydemandingsportthatincludesmanytechniquesandtacticsforeitherthrow-ingorimmobilizinganopponentandsimultaneouslyinvolvesbothcognitiveandmotorskills[1].
Therehavebeenfewinvestigationsaboutthebiome-chanicalefficiencyofjudothrowtechniquesinthelit-erature.Foreachthrowtechnique(handorarm,legorfoot,hiporsacrifice)differentskillsarerequired[2].Intheory,theywereintendedtobeappliedusingseiryokuzenyo,whichmeansbetterefficiencywith lessenergyconsumption.
However,thecorrectuseofseiryokuzenyo dependsonknowingwhattechniquetoapplyattherightmoment,adaptingthemovementtotheanthropometriccharacter-isticsoftheopponent.Otherwise,themaneuverwouldbesuccessfullyappliedonlyifexcessiveforcewereused.
Theefficiencyofatechnique,withregardstobiome-chanicalaspects,isdirectlyrelatedtothebiotypeofthejudokaandtheuseofleverage,timingandtorque[3].Thus,fortechniquesthoseusethehipasasupport,ajudoka(tori)withatrunkproportionallylargerthanhislowerlimbswouldbeabletoproducehighertorque,re-sultinginagreatervelocitywhilespinningtheopponent(uke),andthus,greatereconomyofeffort.
