Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine - Zavod za sport i medicinu sporta Republike Srbije

The Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine looks back on a decade-long tradition. Today, it is a modern facility with latest equipment, in which highly qualified professional staff monitor the latest technical and scientific achievements in the field of Sports, Physical Activity, Sports Medicine, Physiology, Sports Psychology and many other disciplines, with the aim of providing the best quality services to its users and at the same time doing research in these fields.

The high-quality diagnostic technology, continuous education of employees, building partnerships with other leading scientific and professional institutions in the country, region and beyond, as well as continuous monitoring and implementation of the latest trends in above-mentioned areas, are what the Institute is especially proud of. Our activities are directly reflected in the results of our athletes.

In Serbia, professional sport has a special place and has become an inseparable part of the national culture, which is best evidenced by the serious attitude towards sports and, on the other hand, by shiny medals that are the result of such an attitude.

Since its foundation, our Institute has been the backbone of the development of sport and sports medicine in Serbia, with an important, some may even say a leading role in the region. Our work over the years has even been recognized in the new Law on Sports, in which we were given the status of the National Training Center, which is a great honour for us, but also an even greater responsibility.

The complex of the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine is situated amidst the beautiful forest in the heart of Košutnjak in Belgrade. The entire complex is spread over nearly 43 hectares, and all facilities and courts of the Institute are located within this area.

The administrative building hosts the Department of Sports Medicine and the Department for Professional Development and Research Work in Sports, Department for Economic and Financial Affairs, Information and Documentation Department and Library (INDOK Department). The complex of the Institute also contains the building of the Sports Hall, the Athletic Stadium, the Trim Trail, the Hotel “Trim” as well as the entire complex of outdoor swimming pools.

For young and promising athletes, the Institute has further at its disposal the Sports Camp Karataš, which is located in Kladovo. The complex covers an area of 16 hectares and has all the necessary sports facilities.

At the Institute, the following services are offered:

1) Periodic tests, i.e. monitoring of anthropological characteristics of children, youth and adults
