We succeeded in doing that this year, and we have a record number of works, so far, the largest number of authors from three continents, Asia (from Japan), South America (Brazil) and Europe. We believe that, as in previous years, we will maintain your attention and interest in scientific achievements and the professional opinions of experts and scientists who will present the papers. It will be especially interesting on the second day during the practical part of the presentations, which will be extremely interesting for coaches for all ages. This year's conference is bigger than ever before in Poreè and will host many researchers who will present many interesting topics. We would like to remind you, once again, that this conference is called applicable research in judo for several reasons.
