Sports scholarship holder at sports medical examinations in the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine

Nina Micic, Serbian national snowboard team member had sports medical checkup at the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine. Medical staff of the Department for Sports Medicine and Sports Psychology performed biochemical blood tests, anthropometric measurements, ECG at rest, general medical examination, ultrasound of the heart, spirometry and ergospirometry.

Nina Micic (1991) is a Serbian snowboarder. At the Winter European Youth Festival 2007, held in Jaca, Spain, she won the silver medal in the parallel slalom and became the first Serbian athlete who managed to win a medal in this competition. She regularly competes in the World Championships and the World Cup. She also represented Serbia at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi as the first ever snowboarder from Serbia who participated in the Olympics.

Director of the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine, Mr. Goran Bojovic, at the opening of the newly built sports hall in Bojnik

The Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Vanja Udovicic, opened a sports hall in Bojnik measuring approximately 2500m2, which consists of the sports hall with a capacity to accommodate 1,000 spectators, ancillary rooms, administrative work administrative section and technical facilities. The construction of this hall will provide the organization of international competitions and will instigate young people to engage in sports.

Besides the Minister of Youth and Sports Mr. Vanja Udovicic, the opening of the sports hall was attended by the Director of the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine Mr. Goran Bojovic, the Secretary of State for sport Mr. Predrag Peruničić, and the director of Anti-Doping Agency of the Republic of Serbia, Mrs. Milica Vukašinović - Vesić.

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of the SISSM

This department does diagnostics, prevention and treatment of sports injuries and other acute and chronic painful conditions and it determines the postural status, prevention and correction of spinal deformity, chest and feet.

Physical therapy room is equipped with modern equipment for electro, magneto, laser and ultrasound therapy.

A new approach in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and diseases is the use of high frequency electromagnetic energy that works at the level of cells and stimulates the natural mechanisms of tissue regeneration, which speeds up the healing process and shortens recovery time after injury. The treatment is carried out on the device Indiba Activ. Positive effects are quickly visible - a reduction of swelling, pain and inflammation, facilitating mobility in the joints, relaxation of the muscles and increase of their elasticity.

In the kinesitherapy room of the SISSM medical staff carries out rehabilitation of sports injuries, injury prevention exercises and exercises for cervical and lumbar syndrome based on a program for each patient individually.

The services are aimed for both athletes and general public.

Sports fellowship holders at medical checkups at the SISSM

Serbian national team members, archer Luka Popovic (member of the archery club Košutnjak), rower Aleksandar Bedjik (member of the rowing club Partizan) and jet skier  Aleksandar Ivkovic (member of the jet ski club Grocka)

These athletes had sports medical checkups at the Department of Psorts medicine and Sports Psychology of the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine that consisted of biochemical blood tests, anthropometric measurements, ECG at rest, general medical examination, ultrasound of the heart, spirometry, and ergospirometry.

Performing physical and motor ability tests at the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine

In addition to the sports medical examination (which consists of: biochemical blood tests, anthropometric measurements, ECG at rest, general medical examination, ultrasound of the heart, spirometry and ergospirometry) which is carried out at the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine, motor ability tests are performed by the experts in the Department of Motor Research and Analytics in Sports. The tests are carried out in the laboratories of the Department and, if necessary, in the field. Testing can be done at the fields of sports clubs and at sports camps.

After a thorough medical examination at the Department of Sports Medicine and Psychology, where they determine the medical condition of athletes, the athletes are then tested at the Department for Research and Analytics in Sports on the isokinetic dynamometer, and the motion capture system, QualiSys system.

The advantage of QualiSys system is exceptional flexibility and portability, which facilitates transport and setting up at various sports areas where the motion capturing can be performed in accordance with the specificities and needs of the relevant sport. This system is ideal for a wide range of sporting applications, which means that besides for the research purposes, it can be used for training in the training process, but also as a tool of great importance in the prevention of injuries in athletes. With the help of QualiSys system for motion capturing extremely accurate and completely objective quantitative data can be obtained for calculating joint angles, acceleration, torque, force, elasticity, deformation, body posture, balance and other important characteristics of the movement.

The isokinetic diagnostics is the process of assessment of neuromuscular function in which, with computer accuracy, in active motion, all the necessary parameters can be recorded(strength of certain muscle groups, torque, fatigue index, joint range of motion and actual work for specific muscle groups). Through a mathematical analysis of tests one can grasp a detailed insight into the state of joint function, relationship of agonists and antagonists and bilateral comparisons of muscle groups.

Experts of the Department of Motor Research and Analytics in Sports, perform both general and specific battery of tests on athletes both in the field and in the laboratory, which in the end gives a full insight into the motor ability status of athlete.
