Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine the effect of aerobic training program on cardiopulmonary parameters and oxygen saturation in elite judokas. Total of 22 male elite judokas, aged between 18 and 25 participated in the study voluntarily. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups as experimental group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=11, age:21.60±2.06); and control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=11, age:20.50±1.77);. The experimental group was given an aerobic exercise program for 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Before and after the aerobic exercise program, body weight, body mass index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BMI);, body fat percentage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BF%);, systolic blood pressure insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SBP);, diastolic blood pressure insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DBP);, resting heart rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RHR);, maximal heart rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HRmax);, maximal work rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WRmax);, maximal minute ventilation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VEmax);  and maximal oxygen consumption capacity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VO2max); were measured. Individual oxygen consumption capacities were determined using the Ramp protocol in the gas analysis system. Paired Sample t test was used for intra-group comparison and Independent Sample t test was used for statistical analysis of the data. The level of significance was determined as p<0.05. When the pre-test and post-test results of the aerobic training program applied to the experimental group were compared, p<0.05 significance was found in the experimental group, SBP, DBP, RHR, HRmax, %BF, VO2max, WRmax, VEmax and SpO2 values. Significant differences were found between the groups in favor of the experimental group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05); for SBP, DBP, RHR, HRmax, WRmax, VEmax, VO2max and SpO2 values. It can be said that the aerobic training program applied to the judokas has a positive effect on cardiopulmonary parameters and oxygen saturation.
