Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the FIFA 11+ Kids warm-up program improves physical performance in young judo athletes. The study includes children aged about 10 to 14 who regularly practice judo. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the FIFA 11+ Kids warm-up improve jumping and strength performance? Does it improve speed, agility, and movement ability? Researchers will compare the FIFA 11+ Kids warm-up with a judo-specific warm-up to see which one better prepares young athletes for training. Each participant will perform both warm-up programs on different days. Participants will: Perform the FIFA 11+ Kids warm-up and a judo-specific warm-up on separate days Complete physical performance tests after each warm-up, including jumping, sprinting, strength, and agility tests This study may help coaches and athletes choose more effective warm-up routines to improve performance and reduce injury risk in youth judo.
