Key result
During Wingate tests, the glycolytic system presented the major energy contribution, being higher in the upper body compared to the lower body.
Cross-Sectional
In judo athletes, the glycolytic system provides the major energy contribution during Wingate tests, with a higher contribution in the upper body compared to the lower body.
May guide anaerobic training in judo; leaves open upper-body glycolytic optimization in larger trials.
PURPOSE: This study compared the energy system contributions and relationship between mechanical and energy system variables in upper and lower body Wingate tests (WAnT) in judo athletes. METHOD: , respectively. RESULTS: = 0.62-0.94). CONCLUSIONS: During WAnT, the glycolytic system presented the major energy contribution, being higher in the upper body. Moreover, mechanical and energy system variables presented a distinct relationship when comparing upper and lower body WAnT.

Júlio et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Highly trained judo athletes. Upper body Wingate test vs. Lower body Wingate test was evaluated on Energy system contributions. During Wingate tests, the glycolytic system presented the major energy contribution, being higher in the upper body compared to the lower body.
