The current research aims to design a recommended training program using major taper and to identify its effects on some physical variables under investigation and special judo fitness tests (SJFT). Six judokas represented the main sample of this research. They were purposefully chosen from Tanta University Judo Team (weight categories: 73kg – 81kg – 90kg). The used the following tests for some specific physical qualities: Vertical jump for speed strength of leg muscles - Wide jump for speed strength of leg muscles - Grip strength (lift/right) with a manometer for hand grip strength - Back and leg muscles strength with a dynamometer. Results indicated that the recommended major taper program indicated statistically significant differences between pre - and post-measurements of physical tests as improvement percentage ranged from 4.49% and 8.04% and the effect size ranged from 0.78 to 2.91. The recommended major taper program indicated statistically significant differences between pre - and post-measurements of SJFT the improvement percentage was 9.99% and the effect size (0.96) was high. It also improved physical performance and SJFT for judokas as the training volume decreased by 75% with fixed intensity (strength – speed – duration) and mixing positive and negative rest. Post-measurement of SJFT (12.53) was a good indicator of the high level of specific fitness for judokas.
