The aim of our study is to study the effects of a training program intended for judo practitioners and to assess its impact on the level of physical and technical preparation.

The research sample consisted of 40 children of the same level, 20 of them belonged to the experimental group with an average age of 10 years, of which 20 belonged to the experimental group where they followed a training program while the control group followed the usual program proposed by the trainer.

This experimental protocol has been published for three consecutive years.

All participants underwent educational tests conducted at the beginning and end of each year.

Both groups underwent regular training for an hour and a half, three times a week for the entire trial period.

The program we applied was repeated as follows: To assess the development of our athletes, we used measurements of two indicators - height - weight and general physical tests (endurance test, speed test, flexibility, and coordination test, explosive strength test of the lower and upper limbs).

The results recorded in the experimental group showed very significant gains in endurance, explosive strength of the lower limbs, speed, coordination, as well as mobility of the scapulo-humeral joint
