EDITORS FOREWORD  
 
 
 
Dear readers, 
We are pleased to present the second issue of volume 31 of Kinesiologia Slovenica. This issue features a diverse 
collection of sixteen scientific papers, reflecting the breadth and depth of contemporary kinesiology and sport 
science research. 
The topics covered several thematic areas, including motor abilities and competitive anxiety, aquatic movement 
competencies, neuromuscular adaptations to training, perceptual-cognitive strategies in futsal, exercise 
motivation among older adults, and resistance training effects on muscle hypertrophy. Other contributions explore 
body image perfectionism, biomechanical assessments, gait speed and frailty, sleep and focus in elite athletes, 
load monitoring in martial arts, and early childhood physical education. The issue concludes with articles 
examining rhythmic gymnastics training structure and the biochemical responses to anaerobic exercise. 
This issue also marks a significant milestone – it is the final issue issued by the current editorial board. As editors, 
we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all authors, reviewers, and readers for their continued support, 
contributions, and trust. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the Faculty of Sport at University of Ljubljana for 
its longstanding institutional backing. 
We are proud that under our leadership, Kinesiologia Slovenica achieved several major milestones: the journal 
received its first official Impact Factor, articles were assigned DOI numbers, and the journal was successfully 
indexed in the Scopus database. These accomplishments reflect the journal’s growing scientific influence and 
international reputation. 
 
 
 
With kind regards, 
Dr. Vedrana Sember & Dr. Saša Đurić

PREDGOVOR 
 
 
 
Dragi bralci, 
z veseljem vam predstavljava drugo številko revije Kinesiologia Slovenica v letu 2025. Tokratna številka 
vključuje sedemnajst znanstvenih prispevkov, ki odražajo raznolikost in globino sodobnih raziskav na področju 
kineziologije in znanosti v športu. 
Prispevki pokrivajo različna tematska področja, med drugim gibalne sposobnosti, tekmovalno tesnobo, 
kompetence gibanja v vodi, nevromišične prilagoditve na trening, zaznavno-kognitivne strategije v futsalu, 
motivacijo za vadbo pri starejših, ter učinke vadbe za moč na mišično hipertrofijo. Ostali prispevki obravnavajo 
perfekcionizem glede telesnega videza, biomehanske analize, povezave med hitrostjo hoje in starostno krhkostjo, 
spanec in zbranost pri vrhunskih športnikih, spremljanje obremenitev v borilnih športih ter športno vzgojo v 
zgodnjem otroštvu. Številko zaokrožujejo članki o strukturi treninga ritmične gimnastike in biokemičnih odzivih 
na anaerobni trening. 
Ta številka predstavlja tudi posebno prelomnico – zadnja je, ki jo izdaja trenutni uredniški odbor. Urednika se 
iskreno zahvaljujeva vsem avtorjem, recenzentom in bralcem za zaupanje, podporo in sodelovanje skozi leta 
našega delovanja. Prav tako se toplo zahvaljujeva Fakulteti za Šport Univerze v Ljubljani za dolgotrajno 
institucionalno podporo. 
Ponosna sva, da je revija pod najinim vodstvom dosegla pomembne mejnike: pridobila je prvi uradni faktor vpliva 
v bazi WoS, člankom smo tudi za nazaj dodelili DOI številke, revija pa je bila uspešno vključena v podatkovno 
bazo Scopus. Ti dosežki potrjujejo vse večjo znanstveno prepoznavnost in mednarodni ugled revije. 
 
 
 
Lepo pozdravljava, 
Vedrana Sember in Saša Đurić
