| Abstract (english) | The Faculty of Kinesiology University of Zagreb is organising the International Conference on Kinesiology for the
sixth time. Everything began more than 15 years ago when the initiators – Prof. Milanović, still bursting with new ideas,
and the late Prof. Mraković, started to advocate the idea of an international conference as a forum for kinesiologists or
sport scientists, as a place where their research findings could be presented and discussed, as a meeting point of globally
recognized scientists, or authorities in their field of research and research novices. In those days, in 1997, before the First
Conference in Dubrovnik, it all seemed so surreal. However, this conference is alive; it grows and becomes ever more
sophisticated. Therefore, it is feasible to expect that the forthcoming discussions, talks, dialogues, or whatever kind of idea
exchange will result, as they have until now, with new research ideas, insights, research teams and projects the eventual
outcome of which is further advances in kinesiology and the cognate and adjacent scientific areas.
The motto of this year’s conference is the “Integrative Power of Kinesiology“. It indicates the close relationships
among various scientific fields when they contribute to the promotion of physical exercise and various kinds of physical
activities in the areas of kinesiological education, high performance sports, kinesiological recreation, health-enhanced
kinesiology, kinesitherapy and rehabilitation, sport for physically and mentally challenged persons, school sports, military
kinesiology, and many others.
Simultaneously with the organisation of the 6th Conference, the Faculty of Kinesiology is celebrating the 40th anniversary
of the publication of the scientific journal KINESIOLOGY. Nowadays it is a recognized international scientific journal
with an IF of 0.525 for the year 2010.
The Conference and the journal KINESIOLOGY have contributed considerably to the affirmation of the name
“kinesiology” in the neighbouring European areas. Although both are focused on science, the Conference and the
accompanying regular KINESIOLOGY International Editorial Board meetings have also been opportunities for scholars
and institution delegates from all over the world to establish close personal contacts, thus opening doors for joint research
projects. The basic scientific concept of the Conference, with the working sections that cover the fundamental and
applicative disciplines of kinesiology, has been kept from the beginning. This year’s conference will have 12 oral and
poster sections in the framework of which the delegates will present 220 full text contributions and abstracts written by
300 authors from 32 countries. Each presented and published paper or abstract has been subjected to a review process
performed by at least two prominent referees.
For the first time the Conference is hosting a satellite symposium HEPA (Health Enhanced Physical Activity). The
purpose of the symposium is to inform delegates from the neighbouring countries, which have not yet become HEPA
association member countries, with the basic principles and directives of the movement and to encourage them to
become promoters of the idea of health-oriented physical activity in their communities. The World Health Organization
has stimulated the design of the Croatian National Action Plan for the implementation and improvement of HEPA in the
Republic of Croatia. A presentation of the Action Plan and the planned round table should also be stimulating to colleagues
to undertake similar steps in their communities.
From the very beginning the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Fine Arts has given its highly respected patronage
to the Conference, thus underpinning the recognition of kinesiology in the structure of sciences. The organisation of
such conferences would not be viable without the powerful support from the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education
and Sport and the University of Zagreb. The patronage and support are indicators of a notable position the Conference
and its organiser, the Faculty of Kinesiology University of Zagreb (established in 1959), have in the Croatian academic
and research community.
We wish to express much gratitude to all the authors of the papers, reviewers, conference participants, members
of the Organisation Committee, Section Leaders, Section Secretaries, technical support staff, and sponsors for their
contributions, time and effort inbuilt in the quality of the 6th Conference on Kinesiology and its Proceedings. Our special
gratitude goes to the Croatian Office of the World Health Organization.
We wish success in the conference work to all the participants and enjoyable time in Opatija. We are convinced the
Conference will give the expected impetus to further cooperation between scholars and institutions. Looking forward in
advance to meeting you again at the 7th International Conference on Kinesiology in 2014. |
