Handgrip in artistic gymnastics – in lecture it was displayed how handgrip is important in gymnastics as contact with apparatus is prerequesite for safety. Showed were maximum grip forces which occur on apparatus, how can be lowered with safety guards and how are changing thermo characteristic of palm skin under specific work on apparatus.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4781745The purpose of the pilot study was in laboratory simulated ski conditions to determine how the ski width affects the kinematics of the knee joint. One subject without any previous alpine skiing experience was positioned on a testing device that simulates alpine skiing situations. He was measured in three different knee flexions (25º, 50º and 75º) with: 1) the ski placed flat on the ground, and 2) with the ski placed on the inner edge simulating three different ski widths above the ski boot 6, 8 and 10 cm. The results showed that the position of the knee joint varies with the ski width. The lowest external rotation of the knee joint occurred in a flat placed ski and the highest in the ski width of 8 cm, while the maximum abduction in the knee joint was also recorded with the ski width of 8 cm, in which the magnitude was slightly higher compared to the ski width of the 10 cm.

COBISS.SI-ID: 28295463The FIS has taken a rather conservative approach to the enlargement of jumping hills. This is perfectly understandable with regard to the safety of ski jumpers, but less so from the point of view of ski jumping enthusiasts. The ski-jumping technique and the equipment ski jumpers use today are a guarantee for longer and perfectly safe jumps. The 2014 increase of the Planica flying hill to HS225m will not allow safe jumps past the existing world record mark of 251.5 m. From this point of view, the investment might be regarded as making little sense. Flights past the 250 m mark on the HS225m flying hill will prove dangerous for ski jumpers chasing the new world record.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 4695217The main purpose of the paper was to demonstrate the correlations between the selected kinematic variables (in-run speed, wind speed, aerodynamic index, height of flight) to the length of the flight at the World Cup finals in 2008/09, 2012/13 and at the World championships 2010 in Planica. The height of the fly curve has influenced by several factors; one of them is the equipment of the jumpers. In past years, the equipment of the ski jumpers has been change several times depend of the morphology of the ski jumpers. Ranges of sizes of the competition suits have been change from +6 cm-2011/12 to +2 cm 2012/13 to + 4 cm 2014/15. For this reason was the questions what kind of the effect has the aerodynamic index in the flight phase and especially effects of the height of the fly curve to the landing of the ski jumper, to the speed that can be dangerous during the landing on the ski-flying hill. All coefficients of multiple correlations were significant in year 2013.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4695473This book is the result of scientific discussions within the conference Youth Sport. This collection of thirty-eight articles illustrates that the sport in Europe is as multifaceted and dynamic influenced by the diverse structures and cultures that characterize sports in various national contexts. Sport environment and sport knowledge is changing every day. Ignoring novelties in sport science is irresponsible. New findings and knowledge’s could be a key factor for making decision for young people to take sport as part of their daily life or maybe to continue career as athlete.
