| description | Judo is martial art,which philosophy is very closely tied with its east-asian roots and it focuses on the contestant’s physical and spiritual development. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of traumas in elite judo athletes from the Bulgarian national team, in a retrospective manner
throughout their careers as athletes. A survey was conducted among 37 athletes from the Bulgarian national judo team. All competitors have received at least one injury during their competitive career. These are sprains, strains and contusions. Most of the traumas occur during training. The severe
injuries occur during competition and in general are caused from the direct contact with the opponent. The present study has limitations such as the small focus group size. Thus suggested future studies involving other judo competitors, as well as coaches and judges. It’s interesting to recognize their
opinion and to compare it with that of the athletes. That will help to propose strategies for prevention of injuries. |
