We got a recommendation letter for Performance Treasure Map (PTM) and Original K-Map (K-Map) from Dr. Naruto Yoshida. Dr. Yoshida is an educator, researcher, and athletic trainer for Japan national team.
Dr. Yoshida has given us advice on the entire K-Map!
He is the only person I know who can do multiple jobs perfectly, like teaching, researching, and working in a clinical setting.

PTM from My Perspective
PTM provides organized information of fundamental and essential knowledge.
Thus, athletic trainers who learn those skills and knowledge are able to provide valuable support to the patients.
Because the field of Athletic Training requires extensive and deep knowledge, I often get the same questions from my students.
In addition to this extensive knowledge, various new skills and concepts have been introduced into our field every year. Thus, it is hard to understand especially for students and young professionals the connection and relationship between the enormous amount of information.
PTM provides organized information and visualizes the relationship of each fundamental knowledge.
K-Map from My Perspective
基本的な動作についての構成要素、改善のためのアプローチ方法が提示されており、よく纏まっていると思います。
学生さんやエントリーレベルのアスレティックトレーナーの方々には、まずは基礎の第一歩として、参考にされる事をお勧めします。
活用について(どんな人・時におすすめか)
どんな人 = スポーツ科学の分野を勉強している人/スポーツ分野での活動をしている人/スポーツ分野での活躍を目指している人
どんな時 = 必要な基礎知識を俯瞰して見直すとき/自分自身の知識の強い分野と弱い分野の把握をしたいとき
