It is with great pleasure and a profound sense of pride that we, on behalf of the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb, Croatia, and the Conference Organizing Committee, announce the forthcoming 11th International Scientific Conference on Kinesiology, to be held under the theme “30 Years of Tradition and Excellence.”

This significant edition of the Conference marks three decades of continuous scientific exchange, international collaboration, and contribution to the advancement of kinesiology and related disciplines. Over the past thirty years, the International Scientific Conference on Kinesiology has brought together generations of researchers, scholars, practitioners, and students, providing a distinguished platform for presenting scientific achievements, exchanging knowledge, establishing professional connections, and developing new collaborations. As we celebrate this important milestone, the Conference also looks towards the future and the emerging scientific, technological, and societal challenges that will continue to shape the development of kinesiology.

The 11th International Scientific Conference on Kinesiology will bring together experts from a wide range of scientific and professional fields connected with human movement, physical activity, sport, exercise, health, and well-being. The Conference will provide an opportunity to present and discuss contemporary research findings, theoretical developments, and evidence-based practices that contribute to a deeper understanding of human movement and its significance throughout the lifespan.

In addition to the scientific programme, the Conference will provide opportunities for professional exchange, networking, and collaboration among participants from different countries and disciplinary backgrounds. Through scientific presentations, discussions, workshops, and other accompanying activities, participants will have the opportunity to share experiences, explore new perspectives, and establish partnerships that may lead to future research initiatives and collaborative projects.

We warmly invite researchers, scholars, practitioners, students, and all professionals interested in kinesiology and related disciplines to join us at this important scientific gathering. Together, we will celebrate thirty years of tradition, scientific achievement, and international collaboration, while creating new opportunities for research, innovation, and excellence in the years ahead. Your participation and contributions will be an essential part of this celebration and of the continuing development of the global kinesiology community.

PARTICIPANTS

The 11th International Scientific Conference on Kinesiology welcomes a diverse international community of scholars, researchers, professionals, practitioners, and students whose work contributes to the understanding and advancement of human movement, physical activity, sport, health, and well-being.

The Conference brings together academicians, researchers, and lecturers engaged in the scientific study of kinesiology and its related disciplines, including biomechanics, exercise physiology, motor control and learning, sports performance, exercise and sport psychology, physical education, sports medicine, rehabilitation, and public health. Through their research and teaching, these experts contribute to the continuing development of scientific knowledge and the advancement of educational and professional practice.

The Conference also welcomes physical education teachers, coaches, athletic trainers, strength and conditioning specialists, sport practitioners, physicians, physiotherapists, and other health and exercise professionals. Their practical experience and professional expertise provide an essential connection between scientific research and its application in educational, sporting, clinical, and community settings.

Postgraduate and early-career researchers are particularly encouraged to participate and contribute to the scientific programme. The Conference provides an opportunity for emerging scholars to present their research, exchange ideas with experienced researchers and practitioners, establish professional networks, and become actively involved in the international kinesiology community.

Recognising the inherently interdisciplinary nature of kinesiology, the Conference also welcomes experts from related scientific and professional fields. Researchers and professionals working in areas such as medicine, psychology, education, public health, computer science, engineering, data science, neuroscience, and other disciplines are invited to contribute their perspectives and expertise. Such interdisciplinary exchange is increasingly important for addressing complex questions related to human movement, physical activity, sport, health, and technological development.

The Conference provides a diverse platform for the presentation and exchange of scientific knowledge through podium presentations and poster sessions which enables authors to discuss their research and professional experiences within the scope of the announced Conference topics, fostering an inclusive and stimulating environment for dialogue, collaboration, and the dissemination of new ideas.
