The author was invited to deliver a lecture to an international professional community on state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures in a contemporary sports training. The novelty is the use of new technologies in the laboratory and situational measurements of athletes performance. The take-off power diagnostics, the kinematic analysis based on high-frequency cameras, the electromyography and the thermovision were presented. The latter two methods are underpinned by the pioneering studies of the functioning of the muscular system in concrete sports situations.

This lecture focuses on the quantitative and qualitative indicators of media coverage of women’s sports achievements. It is mainly the qualitative analysis of the media that reveals the presence of stereotypes in consideration of women’s top sports achievements. It was established that the elite female athletes receive less media coverage than the male athletes, even when they achieve higher results than their male counterparts.

This innovative method for 3D measuring of the locomotor apparatus in skiing or anywhere in the natural environment, where movements combine sliding and walking or consist only of sliding, has proven of exceptional applicative value. The new method can capture real time data and only requires integration of data obtained by two technologies. In addition, the classical space calibration method, which is proven to be a drawback in the camera-based technologies, is not required.

The programme team, in co-operation with the Association for Sports of Children and Youth, conducted a comprehensive representative study of the current state of Slovenian children’s playgrounds and play structures. Together with the Olympic Committee of Slovenia – Association of Sport Federations we organised a conference on children’s playgrounds. In 2008, our results were presented to the Ministry of Economy and will serve as a basis for major amendments to the legislation on children's playgrounds.
