PhD in Sports ScienceDr. Jeknić is also the author of the book “Neuromuscular Adaptations in Karate Athletes” (2025) and has contributed to multiple scientific publications exploring muscle function, intermuscular coordination, and sport-specific adaptations.
Professional Background
Dr. Jeknić has worked as a research associate at the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education in Belgrade, actively contributing to scientific research in biomechanics, neuromuscular performance, and applied sports science.
He has also gained extensive applied experience as a sports scientist and physical training specialist in both Serbia and the UAE, including roles at the Police College in Abu Dhabi, where he was involved in physical preparation and education of undergraduate and postgraduate students within tactical training systems.
In addition, he has worked at the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine, within the Center for Motor Abilities and Analytics in Sport, focusing on performance diagnostics and athlete evaluation.
Dr. Jeknić has also contributed to sport system development through his role in the Karate Federation of Serbia, where he was involved in coordination and preparation for international competitions, including the European Universities Games.
Alongside his scientific and professional work, he has a background as a national-level karate athlete (3rd Dan black belt), bringing direct sport-specific insight into performance demands, training systems, and applied biomechanics in combat sports.
