In pursuit of achieving competitive success, the occurrence of injuries amongst judo athletes is not rare. The study aimed to perform a knee flexors and extensors isokinetic torque analysis in elite female judo athletes. Fifty-eight elite female judo athletes of the Serbian national team (21.02 \u00b1 3.11 years; 62.36 \u00b1 11.91 kg, 165.04 \u00b1 10.24 cm, training experience 12.72 \u00b1 2.98 years) volunteered to participate in this study. The range of motion (ROM) was set at 90\u00b0. Testing was performed in a concentric-concentric mode for the testing speed of 60 \u00b0\/s. Five maximal voluntary contractions of knee extensors and knee flexors muscle groups were measured for both legs. The obtained data showed a statistically significant difference in absolute torque values among different categories as heavier athletes demonstrated higher values. Post hoc analysis showed a significant difference between weight categories, as heavier athletes demonstrated higher values, while no significant differences in normalized torque values for different weight categories were observed. The implementation of new elements and training modalities may improve performance and prevent lateral asymmetry, thus reducing the risk of injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18136988","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,29]],"date-time":"2021-06-29T22:39:43Z","timestamp":1625006383000},"page":"6988","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Isokinetic Profile of Elite Serbian Female Judoists"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Wieslaw","family":"Blach","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physical Education & Sport, University School of Physical Education in Wroclaw, 51-612 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miodrag","family":"Drapsin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Faculty, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nemanja","family":"Lakicevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport and Exercise Sciences Research Unit, University of Palermo, 90133 Palermo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8334-6581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonino","family":"Bianco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport and Exercise Sciences Research Unit, University of Palermo, 90133 Palermo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tamara","family":"Gavrilovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Roklicer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatjana","family":"Trivic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ognjen","family":"Cvjeticanin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2075-6038","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrik","family":"Drid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2209-0839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"Kostrzewa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sport Science, The Jerzy Kukuczka Academy of Physical Education in Katowice, 40-065 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S2-63","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2016-0405","article-title":"Modern techniques and technologies applied to training and performance monitoring","volume":"12","author":"Sands","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int.
