The influence of cultural intelligence on judo movement mechanics and cross cultural adaptation of international judo athletes
Abstract
This study investigates the influence of cultural intelligence on judo movement mechanics and cross-cultural adaptation among international judo athletes. Conducting a comprehensive biomechanical analysis and assessment of cross-cultural adaptation among 120 elite international judo athletes, this research reveals significant correlations between cultural intelligence levels and movement efficiency, technical adaptation, and cross-cultural integration. Higher cultural intelligence was associated with enhanced biomechanical performance metrics, including improved force application, movement timing, and technical efficiency. The research demonstrates that the cognitive, motivational, and behavioral aspects of cultural intelligence collaboratively enhance athletes’ performance and facilitate their adaptation across cultures. These results indicate that the cultivation of cultural intelligence ought to be incorporated into international judo training curricula to improve both technical skills and the ability to adapt to diverse cultural contexts in competitive settings.
