==Mental training==
Mental training is an emerging modality of training in judo that aims to improve the performance of high-performance athletes in training and competition and also to promote health and well-being in the daily life of athletes and their entourage through the learning and application of psychological skills. The first publication of a judo-specific practical mental training approach based on sports training principles was in 2005 with the work of Boris Blumenstein, Ronnie Lidor and Gershon Tenenbaum.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Blumenstein |first1=Boris |last2=Lidor |first2=Ronnie |last3=Tenenbaum |first3=Gershon |title=Periodization and planning of psychological preparation in elite combat sport programs: The case of judo |journal=International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology |date=2005 |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=7–25|doi=10.1080/1612197X.2005.9671755 |s2cid=144190858 }}</ref> In 2022, Caio Gabriel published the first article on mental training that appeared in the scientific journal of the [[International Judo Federation]], "The Arts and Sciences of Judo".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Gabriel |first1=Caio |title=Towards Mental Training for Elite Judo Athletes |journal=The Arts and Sciences of Judo |date=2022 |volume=2 |issue=2 |pages=18–21}}</ref>
