This pilot study aims to test the level of pronation in judokas.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n A total of 61 judokas from Slovakia and the Czech Republic participated in the study, including 36 members of the youth team. Based on sex, the sample was composed of 42 males and 19 females with a mean \u00b1 SD age of 16.82 \u00b1 2.41 years. Pronation was measured by the navicular drop test on the foot.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Results:<\/jats:bold>\n According to the data, the mean \u00b1 SD pronation in males was 0.86 \u00b1 0.34 cm on the right foot and 0.89 \u00b1 0.34 cm on the left foot. The mean \u00b1 SD navicular drop measurement for the right foot was 0.874 \u00b1 0.20 cm and 0.878 \u00b1 0.23 for the left foot. No correlation between pronation and age (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.29), height (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.04), body mass index (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.02), or years of judo training (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.22) was found.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n This study of judoka pronation values is the first of its kind, providing novel insights into the biomechanics of judo athletes. The findings indicate that sex and age do not significantly influence pronation, suggesting that training and technique may play a more critical role in movement patterns.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7547\/22-023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,25]],"date-time":"2025-04-25T10:06:55Z","timestamp":1745575615000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["How Much Do We Know About Foot Pronation in Judokas?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"115","author":[{"given":"D\u00e1vid","family":"L\u00ed\u0161ka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Science and Health, Matej Bel University, Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica, Slovak Republic."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erika","family":"Liptakov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technical University of Ko\u0161ice, Ko\u0161ice, Slovak Republic."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Hladikov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Military Sport Centrum DUKLA Banska Bystrica, Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica, Slovak Republic."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agn\u0117","family":"Slap\u0161inskait\u0117-Dackevi\u010dien\u0117","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kaunas, Lithuania."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","reference":[{"key":"B1","series-title":"J Foot Ankle Res","first-page":"1","article-title":"A protocol for classifying normal-and flat-arched foot posture for research studies using clinical and radiographic measurements","volume":"2","author":"Murley GS","year":"2009","unstructured":"Murley GS, Menz HB, Landorf KB: A protocol for classifying normal-and flat-arched foot posture for research studies using clinical and radiographic measurements.
