Brief summary: 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.

Detailed description: The significant results obtained from our study are considered to be originated from the duration, scope, frequency, severity and content of training.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Recreational judo athletes aged 18 to 35 years.
* Participants with at least one year of regular participation in recreational judo Athletes with no existing major musculoskeletal injuries or chronic health conditions that would limit their ability to participate in the prescribed exercise program.
* Participants willing to provide informed consent and commit to the duration of the study, including regular attendance at training sessions and data collection activities.
* Athletes engaging in judo training at least twice a week.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Athletes below 18 or above 35 years of age.
* Novice judo practitioners with less than one year of regular training.
* Individuals with a history of significant musculoskeletal injuries in the past six months or chronic conditions affecting their ability to participate fully.
* Participants unwilling or unable to provide informed consent or commit to the study requirements.
* Athletes participating in judo training less than twice a week, as they may not represent a group with sufficient exposure to the injury prevention program.
* Professional or highly competitive judo athletes, as their training regimens and performance levels may differ significantly from recreational athletes.
