The present paper mainly deals with the results of studies made in 1969, and compares them with those of observations made in 1967 and 1968, as a means of ascertaining changes of physical fitness of individuals and also of different weight groups. With regard to the method of physical fitness tests, a detailed guide has been published in the journal "Judo" and the method of evaluation of the Standard physical fitness of Judoists has also been published in "Judo".
