Judo
Classically, Judo is one of the most practiced sports in the world, consisting of a large number of technical and philosophical bases, with great value in development of individuals. However, the systematic practice of judo integrates varied situations of physical contact and specific technical requirements of agility, speed, motor coordination, potency and, especially, physical strength to execute the techniques, with high competitivity.
When combined with continuous requirement for physical and technical improvement that are common in competitive physical training, these demands can constitute predisposition factors for musculoskeletal injuries.

ASSESSMENT
- Biomechanics + Kinematics of jumping, landing, shooting
- Primary Movement Screening
- Supplementary Performance Testing
- Lower extremity muscle testing
- Agility, Strength, Explosiveness testing
- Gaze tracking and visual focus testing
- Reaction Time and peripheral vision testing
- Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
Jumping and Shooting Analysis:
