Bio-psycho-social context of kinesiology

I. Development trends and environmental influences on physical and motor development of Slovenian children and youth - identify trends in physical and motor development in the current population of children and youth in Slovenia - assessment of dietary habits in the current population of children and youth in Slovenia - determine the current health status of the population of children and youth in Slovenia - determine the relationship between motor and physical development, and morbidity in the current population of children and youth in Slovenia - construction of national standards of physical and motor development of children and youth, which can be used in Kinesiology and paediatric research - completion of one of the largest collections of data on population movement and physical characteristics of children in the world that allows you to create predictive models of physical and motor development - development of criteria for functional performance of children and youth in relation to the physical characteristics - comparison with some related researches performed in the world - interpretations of the model of motor abilities - construction the criteria of the influence of biological maturation on the physical performance of children and youth II. Physical exercise and quality of life of adults - establishing links between different types of fitness training for older people and their bio-psycho-social response - development of new diagnostic technologies - construction of research group which brings together experts in the field of kinesiology, medicine, physiotherapy, social work and technical science that can solve this kind of interdisciplinary problems in the described areas of expertise - development of new research for their application in specific circumstances - different age groups, problems with physical apparatus, workload, recreation - development of new knowledge in the field of control and foot stability - development of methods for the normalisation of the EMG signal in the frequency domain, which allows a more accurate differentiation between the muscles of fatigue than existing methods - development of new methods for the diagnosis of fatigue - software development and diagnostic procedures for the analysis of fatigue

From the research of developmental trends and environmental influences on physical and motor development of children and youth the program group managed to gather the data upon which we are going to develop professional criteria that would enable the evaluations of health risks of physical inactivity and obesity, and of early identification of health-risk groups of children and their inclusion in early intervention programs. Based on the data, gathered by the program group, appropriate policies on the long-term solutions of physical abilities of Slovenian citizens can be implemented.
