FIJ muda a ordem de entrada das cores do judogi

White Judogi to be Called First 10th June 2011.

From August 11, beginning with the World Championships for Cadets in Kiev, followed by the Senior World Championships in Paris, and in all subsequent IJF competitions, the order of preference with regard to the wearing of either blue or white judogi will be changed to white first.
This change will be reflected in all appropriate items such as contest sheets, scoreboards and fight indicator boards. The IJF asks that all officials, coaches and competitors take note and use this 10 week notice period to prepare accordingly.

Provavelmente a iniciativa tem relação com o viés da coloração sobre o resultado da luta; como agora as chaves são dirigidas, talvez haja equilíbrio. O problema é se ainda houver viés...

Dermatoglyphics as biological markers of sports performance

del Vecchio, F. B.; Gonçalves, A.

Resumo
Influence of genetic potential to improve physical aptitude and manifestation of physical effort has gained space in physical education and sport. Dermatoglyphics is still scarcely explored among biological indicators of performance, although they are becoming more and more known. They consist of dermopapillary palmar-digital impressions, for instance, of the set of dermal papillae of fingers, palms, soles, genetically established and changeless over the life. Preferential frequency distribuitions are observed in digital patterns (arches, loops, whorls) according to different modalities, as well as varied grade on total ridge count. This trended to be lower in persons involved in cyclic activities in comparison with competitors of strength modalities. Ab line count lessens in progression with sport level, elite athletics show atd angles lower than population values, as well as ulnar and combined indexes. Lastly, multivariate analysis to investigate the relations between dermatoglyphics and sport performance is considered. Thus, it was accomplished the aim of this review of doing a critical analysis of articles referents to dermatoglyphics from frequency distribution of its variables, from the relationship of this variables and sports performance and talent orientation.
