During 22nd and 25th May 2014 the 7th International Scientific Conference on Kinesiology was held in Opatija, Croatia, with the working title "Fundamental and Applied Kinesilogy - Steps Forward". It was organized by the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb with the patronage of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Fine Arts and in cooperation with the Science and Research Centre, University of Primorska (Koper, Slovenia), Faculty of Sports Studies Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic), Beijing Sport University (Beijing, China) and Lithuanian Sports University (Kaunas, Lithuania). The conference was supported also by several eminent organizations such as European College of Sport Science (ECSS), International Association for Physical Education in Higher Education (AIESEP), International Federation of Physical Education (FIEP) and International Network of Sport and Health Sciences (INSHS), which all contributed to placing the conference within the geographical area and time to a prominent position, as well as rendering it an adequate importance in the field of kinesiology and sport science.
This year 514 scientists and researchers from 32 countries from all over the world presented their work of the past three years in 220 contributions (abstracts and full articles) in eleven oral and poster sections: "Adapted Physical Activity and Kinesith-erapy", "Biology and Medicine of Sport and Exercise", "Kinesiological Recreation", "Kinesiology of Top-Level Sport", "Kinesiology and Social Sciences and Humanities", "Adaptation of Human Organism to Disuse and Ageing", "Physical Education", "Kinesiology in Physical Conditioning", "Management of Sport", "Biomechanics and Motor Control" and "University Sport". This time the invited opening lecturers were a prominent strength and conditioning coach and a professor of exercise physiology at the ASPIRE Academy for Sports Excellence in Qatar, Martin Buchheit, Ph.D., Professor, and a renowned professor of clinical physiology at the University of Nottingham and the president of the ECSS, Marco Narici, Ph.D., Professor (Figure 1). Besides the two eminent opening speakers, the plenary sessions greatly completed the conference with many well-known local and foreign names, such as (listing them chronologically, starting with local names first): Herman Bercic, Rado Pisot, Stevo Popovic, Vladimir Issurin, Barbara Wessner, Henriette Dancs, Herbert Hartman, Maria Dinold, Annette Hoffman, Steven Fleck, Jaques Duysens, Weimo Zhu, Antonio Méndez Giménez and Branislav Antala.

Parallel to the conference a Doctoral School washeld, where doctoral students had the opportunity to learn specifically and directly from Martin Buchheit, Herbert Hartman, Vladimir Issurin and Maria Dinold. Even this year, the prestigious Miloš Mrakovic's Award was granted to encourage research excellence of young researchers up to 33 years. The 1st and 2nd place went to two Slovenian researchers from the University of Primorska, Uroš Marušič and Matej Plevnik, respectively (Figure 2), while the 3 rd place went to Dagmar Hrusova, a Czech researcher from the University of Hra-dec Kralové. In his contribution, Uroš Marušič presented the effectiveness of virtual cognitive training on cognitive and physical functioning and efficiency of people who were subjected to a 14-day physical inactivity. Plevnik presented hydrotherapy in the rehabilitation programme for people with muscular dystrophy, while Hrusova showed the effects of a 3-month adapted pilates programme on stabilization and muscle coordination in women with a sedentary job.
The whole conference programme, including a varied and rich social programme, took place in the wonderful 5-star Ambasador hotel, which allowed the participants to network comfortably, to exchange their experiences and ideas with the possibility of further cooperation (Figure 3).

V okviru konference je med drugim potekala tudi šola za doktorske študente, na kateri so se podiplomski študentje lahko posebej učili od Martina Buchheita, Herberta Hartmana, Vladimirja Issurina in Marie Dinold. Mladim raziskovalcem do 33 let so tudi letos podeljevali prestižno nagrado Miloša Mrakovica z namenom spodbujanja raziskovalne odličnosti mladih, kjer sta 1. in 2. mesto zasedla raziskovalca Univerze na Primorskem, Uroš Marušič in Matej Plevnik (Slika 2), medtem ko se je na 3. mesto uvrstila Čehinja Dagmar Hrusova z Univerze Hradec Kralove. Prvi je v svojem prispevku predstavil učinkovitost virtualne kognitivne vadbe na kognitivno in gibalno učinkovitost oseb, ki so bile podvržene večdnevni popolni telesni neaktivnosti, drugi prilagojene plavalne aktivnosti za distrofike v rehabilitacijskih programih, tretja pa učinke trimesečnega programa prilagojene vadbe pilatesa na stabilizacijo in mišično koordinacijo pri ženskah, ki opravljajo sedeče poklice.
