EDITORS FOREWORD  
 
 
 
Dear readers,  
We are pleased to present the third issue of Kinesiologia Slovenica for December 2024. This issue highlights 
diverse research papers in the field of kinesiology, including studies on the effects of replacing sedentary behavior 
by higher levels of physical activity in children, on foot arch types and balance, and on the structure of the ski 
jumping performance at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing. Other topics include gait variability in individuals 
with Parkinson’s disease, technical skills in basketball across generations and sociodemographic factors in 
participation in Olympic aquatics. In addition, we explore university students’ and teacher’s experiences of 
reciprocal peer teaching in athletics, the effects of training history on squat repetitions at maximal intended 
velocity, and dynamic balance in sport climbers and non-climbers. These articles reflect the interdisciplinary 
nature of kinesiology and its importance in enhancing human performance and health. As a scientific journal, we 
promote and explore the knowledge that advances these areas of science.  
We wish all readers an enjoyable read and would like to thank the authors and reviewers for their contributions 
to this issue and wish them a successful year 2025 in their search for answers to their research questions.

PREDGOVOR 
 
 
 
Spoštovani bralci,  
Z veseljem vam predstavljamo tretjo, decembrsko številko revije Kinesiologia Slovenica v letu 2024. Ta številka 
izpostavlja različne raziskave s področja kineziologije, med katerimi najdemo študije o učinkih nadomeščanja 
sedečega vedenja z visoko intenzivno telesno dejavnostjo pri otrocih, raziskavo o vplivih oblik stopalnih lokov na 
ravnotežje ter na strukturo tekmovalne uspešnosti smučarjev skakalcev na olimpijskih igrah, variabilnost pri hoji 
posameznikov s Parkinsonovo boleznijo, tehnične veščine v košarki med generacijami in sociodemografske 
dejavnike pri udeležbi na olimpijskih igrah v vodi. Poleg tega raziskujemo izkušnje študentov in učiteljev z 
medvrstniškim poučevanjem v atletiki, učinke zgodovine treninga na število hitro izvedenih počepov in dinamično 
ravnotežje pri športnih plezalcih in neplezalcih. Ti članki odražajo interdisciplinarno naravo kineziologije in njen 
pomen pri izboljšanju človekove zmogljivosti in zdravja. Kot znanstvena revija spodbujamo in raziskujemo znanje, 
ki napreduje na teh področjih znanosti.  
Vsem bralcem želimo prijetno branje in se zahvaljujemo avtorjem in recenzentom za njihov prispevek k tej številki 
ter jim želimo uspešno leto 2025 pri iskanju odgovorov na njihova raziskovalna vprašanja.  
 
 
 
Z lepimi pozdravi,
