Prompted by Japan’s participation in the Olympic Games, the Japan Amateur Athletic Association, the predecessor of the Japan Sport Association, was established in 1911.

 

The JSPO promotes sport in Japan engaging in a multitude of projects, such as hosting the national Sports Festival, the largest multi-sport event in the country, operating Junior Sport Clubs, training sports instructors, promoting international exchange and cooperation, and conducting research in sport medicine and science.

 

Notably in the field of training sports instructors, we provides 18 types of qualifications in five areas to promote diverse sporting activities designed for each stage of life.

One of the sports instructors, JSPO-AT is given status as a coaching qualification who utilizes their knowledge and ability to practice the following roles to help individuals engaged in sports recover and improve their performance while ensuring their safety and security.

 

The targeted population is not only athletes such as those representing Japan or professional players, but also encompasses all individuals engaged in sports activities at local sports clubs, school and college varsity teams, private sports facilities, and community sports centers.
