AB  - Elite judo demands high levels of physical and psychological skills. The 
      brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be of particular interest in sports 
      medicine for its ability to promote neuroplasticity. We investigated the plasma 
      BDNF before and after a judo training session (Randori) and the maximal 
      incremental ramp test (MIRT) in athletes from the Brazilian national judo team 
      and compared the results between both exercise stimuli and sexes. Fifty-six elite 
      judo athletes were recruited who performed each task on a separated day. 
      Anthropometric, physiological, athletic parameters, and plasma BDNF levels were 
      measured before and after the tasks (Randori and MIRT). The groups presented 
      similar anthropometric and physiological characteristics at baseline for the two 
      tasks. All athletes reached maximal performance for the tasks. Plasma levels of 
      BDNF increased significantly after Randori and MIRT for all subjects, both men 
      and women. When comparing both exercise stimuli, a greater increase in BDNF was 
      observed after Randori. There was no significant difference in the delta BDNF 
      between sexes. Our findings indicate that training specificity of sport gestures 
      influenced the increase of blood BDNF levels.
