Testing subjects included one Caucasian female elite athlete (age: 26.4 years) and one male veteran jūdōka (age: 50.8 years). ITC images were captured by an Avio NEC InfRec R300 camera and thermal data obtained were plotted into a proprietary equation for estimation of EE. Data were compared to respiratory data obtained by a Cosmed K4 b2 portable gas analyzer.

  • Hello Everyone! My Name Is Stephen Cannell. I Work As a Coordinator For
    Judo Hello everyone! My name is Stephen Cannell. I work as a coordinator for international relations (CIR) in Toyohashi. Today I would like to talk about judo, a combat sport that will be at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Judo is a Japanese sport that dates back to 1882. It was created by Kano Jigoro, a jujutsu practitioner who wanted to improve on jujutsu. It quickly grew in popularity, and began to be taught in schools, the police, and the military. In the 1950s, it had grown to become popular around the world, and international tournaments began to take place. It officially became an Olympic sport at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and was added to the Paralympics in 1988. There are many martial arts, including Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Russian Sambo, etc. that were influenced by judo. There are two methods of attacking in competition judo: throws, known as nage-waza, and grapples, known as katame-waza. There are 100 different techniques that may be utilized in judo, however some techniques that are too dangerous are banned from international competition. The goal of nage-waza is to throw your opponent on their back to the floor. There are standing throws, and those in which you bring your opponent down with you. The goal of katame-waza is to put the opponent into a position from which they cannot attack back. The goal of both competitors in a judo match is to land an ippon, which is an immediate victory. In order to be awarded an ippon, the athlete must perform a nage-waza or katame- waza on their opponent while meeting a specific set of guidelines.

  • Special Interview with Olympic Medalist Misato Nakamura Interviewer: Consulate-General of Japan in Seattle Intern, Ryu Ishii
    Special interview with Olympic Medalist Misato Nakamura Interviewer: Consulate-General of Japan in Seattle Intern, Ryu Ishii Ms. Misato Nakamura, the judoka (judo athlete) who won bronze medals at both the Beijing and Rio de Janeiro Olympics and three-time winner of the Judo World Championships, is currently visiting Seattle. She is here to learn English as well as judo practices in the US. I was honored to have the opportunity to interview Ms. Nakamura about judo, her feelings since coming to the US, and what the Olympics mean to her. Aspects of judo that attract Ms. Nakamura Ms. Nakamura explained that in the world of judo, just because an athlete is strong or skillful, it doesn’t mean that athlete will win. “You can never expect what will happen in judo.” She said, “It is possible to get an ippon (which means knockout in judo) and come from behind to win the match in five seconds. In addition, there are reasoned techniques, such as throwing with using your opponent’s power, that make it possible to throw opponents with little power of your own. Moreover, judo is a sport that can only be done if you respect your opponent.” When she was an elementary school student, she became interested in the martial arts by watching a combat sport TV show with her father. As she tried several martial arts herself, she thought, “It is interesting that small people could throw large people.” That’s how she started judo. When she began to devote herself to the sport, she practiced every day except for Sundays, and when she was not practicing, she used that time to take care of herself, such as going for a massage.
