Objective of the study was to develop and test benefits of a new body conditioning model for beginner judo groups. Methods and structure of the study. The new body conditioning model testing experiment was run in Berezniki city at the local Youth Olympic Reserve Sports School in November 2019 through February 2020. We sampled the 7-8-year-old male beginners (n=30) and split them up into Experimental and Reference Groups (EG, RG) of 15 boys each. Results and conclusion. The new body conditioning model includes the following elements: 1. Body conditioning methods designed on a uniform, variable, repetitive and interval bases; with circuit, competitive and team sporting formats; strength training tools (sub-maximal, dynamic and isometric ones); and difficulty-stepping formats with the execution complicating/ simplifying cycles. 2. A range of exercises with specific body conditioning goals in athletics, gymnastics, acrobatics, weightlifting, training machines assisted workouts, relay races, active team sports etc. 3. Trainings varied in intensity, volume and priority goals. 4. Basic physical fitness progress tests to identify individual strengths and weaknesses and adjust the training service correspondingly for progress. 5. Training service customizing based on the body conditioning test data, with the service adjustments prioritizing the training service times, intensities and formats, and with the individualized training service adjusted to the current strengths and weaknesses. 6. The body conditioning service was formatted as provided in Table 1, with the 1.5-hour trainings run three times a week to secure the body conditioning practices averaging 60% of the total training time. The new body conditioning model for the 7-8 year-old beginner judo groups was tested beneficial due to the following elements: (1) special training methods; 2) sports elements with specific training task goals; (3) training service design and management provisions; (4) customized body conditioning service formats, times and intensities; (5) individualized training service elements; (6) basic physical fitness progress tests to help customize the training service; and (7) pre- versus post-experimental basic physical fitness tests. The latter showed significant progress in the EG versus RG in every basic physical fitness test, that is indicative of the new body conditioning model being beneficial.
