Introduction

For those who have completed the previous two levels of the UFCPI courses, this module will serve as a review of previously discussed concepts. For those who haven’t, we will be introducing the importance of an interdisciplinary approach when working to optimize performance. Maximizing the potential for integration among diverse experts within complex teams involves understanding how professional biases in technical approaches can impact outcomes. It is crucial to recognize the influence of these biases on decision-making processes, particularly in the context of mixed martial arts (MMA) and other combat sports, where an interdisciplinary approach is vital. By fostering collaboration among specialists from various fields, teams can enhance their effectiveness and drive informed decisions that contribute to success in these competitive environments.
