IMPROVING THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL POTENTIAL OF THE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST STUDENTS BY USING MEANS SPECIFIC TO JUDO

Abstract

I started from the belief that using the means of judo in the Polytechnic University of Bucharest (UPB) Physical Education lessons represents a condition for meeting the objectives we can create the motivational prerequisites for attracting students and thus they will contribute to developing the motor qualities, the thinking and mental component (Hantău, 2005). I did a study on the development of the UPB students' physical and mental profile by using means specific to judo in the Physical Education lessons. I truly hope that through this study I can open new directions for guiding the UPB Physical Education lesson. The results obtained at the two tests have shown that the means used fulfilled their objectives. The means used were the following: movements in positions of guard with a partner in the back, releasing the different holds of partner, pull-ups in kimono, partner unbalancing, lifting the partner from different positions.
