EDITORIAL

How to take advantage of information technology in favour of the exercise / sports 
activity is a challenge, addressed not only by the manufacturers of sports equipment 
and technologies but also all the sports professionals who strive to move the curve of 
the decline in locomotor activity in a positive direction. The questions of how to exploit 
actively the benefits of tennis video games for the young tennis players are also posed 
by the authors of the first article that have found positive effects especially in the impro-
vement of visual attention, which, however, cannot replace the real training techniques. 
The following article reminds us of how important regular physical / sports activity in 
college years  is, which also demonstrates a positive connection between longer and 
more intense physical exercising and academic achievement. At the same time, the ar-
ticle indicates that a quarter of students in Slovenia still do not reach the recommended 
levels of sports activities.

In a conference at the 70th anniversary of Prof. Carlo Reggiani, Ph.D., we together 
celebrated the treasure trove of his contributions. The lecturers introduced  many new 
findings and facts, and again highlighted the importance of expertise  in the field of 
skeletal muscles physiology. The next contribution with a similar topic presents the 
positive effects of electrical stimulation on muscle contraction and, consequently, diffe-
rent adaptations that derive from the procedure. The following article discusses regular 
physical activity which has become the guarantee for a healthy life and maintaining 
functional ability in old age. The article highlights the positive effects of an active life-
style in order to prevent and reduce the problems of the decreasing mental health of the 
elderly as the most vulnerable groups.

The red thread of scientific and expert conference »Motor Skills of Children« and 
the first international summer school »Healthy and Active Lifestyle« was the impor-
tance of acquiring and mastering movement skills in childhood which seems to be 
one’s physical capital, leading to an active and healthy life style in all life periods. The 
conference marking the World Food Day 2018 reminded of healthy diet guidelines and 
confirmed that both movement and healthy nutrition are integral parts of a healthy life 
style and they simply cannot and should not be treated separately.

Kako izkoristiti informacijsko tehnologijo v prid gibalni/športni aktivnosti je izziv, 
ki si ga postavljajo ne samo proizvajalci športne opreme in tehnologij, temveč tudi vsi 
tisti športni strokovnjaki, ki stremijo za ciljem premakniti krivuljo upada gibalne aktiv-
nosti v pozitivno smer. Vprašanje, kako izkoristiti aktivno video igro tenisa pri mlajših 
teniških igralcih, so si tako zastavili tudi avtorji prvega članka in ugotovili pozitivne 
učinke predvsem v izboljšanju vizualne pozornosti, ki pa ne more nadomestiti realnega 
treninga tehnike. Kako pomembna je redna gibalna/športna aktivnost v študentskih le-
tih, nas opozarja naslednji članek, ki ravno tako dokazuje pozitivno povezanost daljše 
in intenzivnejše vadbe s telesnim fitnesom in študijskim uspehom, obenem pa opozarja 
na to, da še vedno četrtina študentov v Sloveniji ne dosega priporočljive stopnje gibal-
ne/športne aktivnosti. 

Bogata je zakladnica znanja, ki smo jo udeleženci obeležili na konferenci ob 
70-letnici prof. dr. Carla Reggianija na Univerzi v Padovi. Prisotni referenti in ostali 
so predstavili številna nova znanja in dejstva ter znova opozorili, kako pomembna so 
temeljna poznavanja področja fiziologije skeletnih mišic. Podobno tematiko obravnava 
tudi prispevek, v katerem avtorji predstavijo pozitivne učinke električne stimulacije 
na mišično kontrakcijo in posledično njene adaptacije. Da je redna gibalna aktivnost 
postala garancija zdravega življenja in ohranjanja funkcionalnih sposobnosti tudi v sta-
rosti, govori naslednji pregledni članek, v katerem so poudarjeni pozitivni učinki aktiv-
nega življenjskega sloga v preventivi in zmanjševanju problemov upadanja mentalnega 
zdravja starostnikov kot najbolj ranljive skupine. 

Pomen pridobivanja in usvajanja gibalnih kompetenc v otroštvu kot gibalnega ka-
pitala, ki vodi v aktiven in zdrav življenjski slog skozi vsa obdobja, pa je predstavljal 
rdečo nit znanstvene in strokovne konference »Motorička znanja djece« ter prve med-
narodne poletne šole »Healthy and Active Lifestyle«. Poleg smernic zdrave prehrane, 
ki so bile predstavljene na konferenci ob svetovnem dnevu hrane 2018, so udeleženci 
konference ponovno potrdili, da sta gibanje in zdrava prehrana neločljiv tandem zdra-
vega življenjske sloga in ju enostavno ne moremo in ne smemo obravnavati ločeno!
