Objective of the study is to identify the characteristics of technical and tactical actions based on the analysis of the trajectories of the centres of gravity of various segments of the athlete's body.
Methods and structure of the study. During a match, an athlete performs movements, including those under the influence of a force field. A fourteen-link model, including the links of the human body, was used to characterise the field. With the help of artificial intelligence, programmes were developed that allow the trajectories of the centres of gravity of the body links to be constructed and the data obtained to be entered into separate files.
Results and conclusions. Based on the shape of the trajectories of the centres of gravity of the body segments, the nature of the force field at various points in space was determined. Based on the analysis of the trajectories, objective insights were obtained into the details of the technical and tactical actions performed by highly skilled athletes, which makes it possible to seek new ways of structuring the training process. The use of the proposed analysis in the training process will improve the effectiveness of students' competitive activities and increase their motivation to continue practising martial arts.
Keywords: judo, biomechanics, centre of gravity, trajectory, force field.
