FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY PROMOTION OF THE 
OLYMPIC COMMITTEE OF KOSOVO, 

27th May, 2016

On 27th May 2016, the Olympic Committee of Kosovo (OCK) organized Olym-
pic Day, which was intended to promote the anniversary of the OCK. The Institute 
of Kinesiology Research, University of Primorska, was invited to actively participate 
and promote the event. The main role of the Institute of Kinesiology Research was 
measuring anthropometric and motor skills of the children who were actively involved 
in various activities.

The measurements were attended by 23 children aged between the ages of 7 and 8. 
Anthropometric analysis included measurements of height, weight and body compositi-
on (body mass index, fat mass, muscle mass, free fat mass and total body water). Motor 
skills analysis included countermovement jump, 10-meter sprint, maximal voluntary is-
ometric knee extension and flexion. All measurements followed each other in a logical 
sequence. The aim of the measurements was to compare the results of Kosovar children 
with children from more developed countries who took part in a similar analysis.

The main purposes why the Institute of Kinesiology Research, University of Pri-
morska, participated at the Olympic Day in Kosovo were to obtain information about 
locomotor status of Kosovar children, to demonstrate the operating principles of the 
Institute in a developing country and to establish new contacts together with further 
opportunities for future cooperation with the OCK.

PROMOCIJA OBLETNICE USTANOVITVE OLIMPIJSKEGA 
KOMITEJA KOSOVA 

27. maj 2016

Olimpijski komite Kosova je 27. maja 2016 organiziral olimpijski dan, ki je bil 
namenjen obeleženju obletnice njegove ustanovitve. Inštitut za kineziološke raziskave 
Univerze na Primorskem je bil povabljen k aktivni udeležbi in promociji tega dogodka. 
Glavna vloga Inštituta za kineziološke raziskave je bila izvedba meritev antropometrij-
skih in gibalnih sposobnosti otrok, ki so sodelovali v različnih aktivnostih.

Meritev se je udeležilo 23 otrok starih 7 ali 8 let. Člani Inštituta smo v okviru an-
tropomterijske analize izmerili telesno maso in višino ter analizirali telesno sestavo 
(indeks telesne mase, maščobna masa, mišična masa, pusta maščobna masa in odstotek 
vode v telesu). Analiza gibalnih sposobnosti je vključevala skok z nasprotnim giba-
njem, leteči šprint na 10 metrov in največjo hoteno mišično kontrakcijo v smeri iztega 
in upogiba kolena. Vse meritve so si sledile v smiselnem zaporedju. Cilj meritev je bil 
primerjati rezultate kosovskih otrok z rezultati otrok iz bolj razvitih držav, ki so bili 
deležni podobnih meritev.

Primarni namen sodelovanja Inštituta za kineziološke raziskave Univerze na Pri-
morskem na omenjenem dogodku je bil pridobiti informacije o gibalnem statusu koso-
vskih otrok, prikazati princip delovanja Inštituta državi v razvoju in vzpostaviti nove 
medosebne vezi ter možnosti za morebitno prihodnje sodelovanje z Olimpijskim ko-
mitejem Kosova.
