The study aimed to determine whether the judo-specific injury prevention exercise program had a significant positive effect on the performance of recreational judo athletes, with a particular focus on those employing the ippon technique.
The significant results obtained from our study are considered to be originated from the duration, scope, frequency, severity and content of training.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Judo-Specific Injury Prevention Exercise Program | Experimental | 18 participants will be in the experimental group, following a judo-specific injury prevention exercise protocol for six weeks (three sessions per week). Baseline and post-intervention measurements will evaluate judo-specific skills, agility, balance, and overall performance. The intervention will include: Warm-up exercises tailored for injury prevention Strength and conditioning exercises specific to judo movements Drills focusing on balance, agility, and coordination Gradually progressive intensity over six weeks |
|
| Regular Judo Training | No Intervention | 18 participants will be in the control group, continuing their regular judo training sessions without any additional intervention. The same performance metrics will be measured at baseline and post-intervention. The control group will continue their regular training sessions as guided by their judo coaches, with no alterations. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Judo-Specific Injury Prevention Exercise Program | Other | The intervention includes a structured program designed specifically for judo athletes to prevent injuries and enhance performance. The program consists of warm-up exercises, strength and conditioning drills, balance improvement exercises, agility training, and sport-specific movements. It is delivered over six weeks, with participants completing three sessions per week. Each session is progressively tailored to improve overall motor skills, prevent overuse injuries, and enhance judo-specific abilities. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Injury Incidence and Severity | The OSTRC Overuse Injury Questionnaire will be used to measure the incidence and severity of overuse injuries in participants. This tool evaluates pain, function, and participation limitations experienced during training and judo activities. Parameters Assessed: Presence of pain (location and intensity) Impact on training participation Functional limitations caused by pain or injury | Weekly assessments during the 6-week intervention |
| Judo-Specific Performance Assessment | Performance in judo-specific skills will be assessed through a task-specific checklist, evaluating speed, accuracy, and execution of techniques during a simulated judo match. | Baseline (pre-intervention) and 6 weeks (post-intervention) |
| Agility Test Score | The change in agility will be assessed using the Illinois Agility Test. The test will measure the time (in seconds) taken to complete the agility course. | Baseline (pre-intervention) and 6 weeks (post-intervention). |
| Balance Assessment | The improvement in balance will be assessed using the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), measuring the number of errors in static and dynamic postures. | Baseline (pre-intervention) and 6 weeks (post-intervention) |
