Abstract

Background and Study Aim: Loss of balance, fall and collision with the ground or vertical obstacle can be the cause of personal injury and even death. The aim of this study is verifi cation the following hypothesis: if methodical and educational standards are met, gender, age, and body build are not factors limiting the effectiveness of learning safe falling.
Material and Methods: The researches covered 688 people between 19 and 55 year old, who made four different in structure (but not in content) programs of combat sports propaedeutics – basic of judo (CSP-BJ). It used a specifi c test of making safe falls.
Results: The structure of the CSP-BJ had no infl uence on the educational effects. At average similar safe falling motor competence level, the oldest students follow activities the most slowly. Weak but statistically significant correlation is between age and a test of making safe falls and between Rohrerindex and the test result only in a group of students where was the greatest diversity of age (spread 32 years).
Conclusions: Empirical data authorize to the general conclusion that verifi ed the hypothesis is true. Monitoring the phenomenon in so-called virtual research group can accelerate implementation of a system of universal teaching of safe falls and increase the effectiveness of prevention of physical injury in a macro scale.
