EDITORS FOREWORD  
 
 
Dear readers of Kinesiologia Slovenica. 
 
We are pleased to present the first issue of Kinesiologia Slovenica in 2023, which features a diverse 
range of research articles covering various aspects of kinesiology and sports science. This issue includes 
14 articles from 8 different countries, providing a truly global perspective on the latest research in the 
field. 
 
The articles in this issue are particularly notable for their diverse and international scope. For example, 
one study examines athletes' health in international sport federations', with a focus on athletes 
participating in the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Another article presents the findings of a regional 
observatory of physical fitness in children and adolescents in southern Italy, comparing results from a 
thirty-year period between 1990 and 2020. These articles, along with the others in this issue, offer 
important insights into various aspects of kinesiology and sports science, and we believe they will be of 
great interest to researchers, practitioners, and students in the field. 
 
We believe that this issue of Kinesiologia Slovenica will provide readers with valuable insights into the 
latest developments in exercise science, and we hope that it will inspire further research and discussion 
on the topic. We would like to express our gratitude to the authors, reviewers, and editorial board 
members for their hard work and dedication in ensuring the high quality of the articles included in this 
issue. We hope that this issue of Kinesiologia Slovenica will serve as a valuable resource for 
researchers, practitioners, and students in the field of kinesiology and sports science. 
 
Readers can access the articles of this issue and previous issues of Kinesiologia Slovenica on the 
journal’s website: www.kinsi.si  
 
I wish you a pleasant reading.

PREDGOVOR 
 
 
 
 
 
Spoštovani bralci revije Kinesiologia Slovenica. 
  
Z veseljem predstavljamo prvo izdajo Kinesiologije Slovenice v letu 2023, ki vsebuje raznolik nabor 
raziskovalnih člankov, ki zajemajo različne vidike s področja kineziologije. V prvi letošnji številki 
lahko najdete 14 člankov iz 8 različnih držav, kar nam zagotavlja globalen vpogled v najnovejše 
raziskave s kineziološkega področja. 
Članki v tej izdaji so še posebej zanimivi zaradi svoje raznolike in mednarodne narave. Ena študija 
raziskuje zdravje športnikov v mednarodnih športnih federacijah, pri čemer je osredotočena na 
športnike, ki so sodelovali na olimpijskih igrah leta 2021 v Tokiu. Drugi članek predstavlja ugotovitve 
regionalnega opazovališča telesne pripravljenosti otrok in mladostnikov v južni Italiji, pri čemer 
primerja medgeneracijske spremembe iz tridesetletnega obdobja med letoma 1990 in 2020. Ti članki, 
skupaj z drugimi v tej izdaji, ponujajo pomembne vpoglede v različne vidike kineziologije, in 
verjamemo, da bodo zanimivi za raziskovalce, praktike in študente tega področja. 
Verjamemo, da bo ta številka Kinesiologije Slovenice bralcem zagotovila dragocene vpoglede v 
najnovejše razvoje v znanosti o vadbi, in upamo, da bo spodbudila nadaljnje raziskovanje in razpravo 
o temi. Želela bi se zahvaliti avtorjem, recenzentom in članom uredniškega odbora za njihovo trdo 
delo in predanost pri zagotavljanju visoke kakovosti člankov, vključenih v to številko. Upamo, da bo ta 
izdaja Kinesiologije Slovenice služila kot dragocen vir za raziskovalce, praktike in študente na 
področju kineziologije. 
Bralci lahko članke te številke in prejšnjih številk Kinesiologije Slovenice najdejo na spletni strani
