We wanted to find out what the future of the kinesiologist profession is and where it makes sense to focus as a kinesiologist based on trends.We used the ScienceDirect and Google Scholar datasets for data acquisition. We also had an interview with Julian Berriman, director of the Professional Standards Committee. We found that a negative trend currently prevails in the field of employment of kinesiologists in Slovenia. In 2021 eleven jobs for the profession of kinesiologist were registered at the Institute of the Republic of Slovenia. Most kinesiologists are forced to look for employment in the private sector, and some have started their own business. Projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the employment possibilities of kinesiologists will increase by 13% between 2020 and 2030. The employment opportunities of kinesiologists will grow faster than for most other professions. The inclusion of kinesiologists in the health care system, the growing awareness of the positive effects of exercise and the involvement of governments and insurance companies in the promotion of a healthy lifestyle will certainly contribute to this. The entire fitness industry has also started to move in the direction of health care, which will also be reflected in the greater demand for educated staff, which undoubtedly includes kinesiologistsRaziskali smo trende zaposlovanja kineziologov v Sloveniji in drugih državah Evropske unije. Želeli smo ugotoviti, kakšna je prihodnost poklica kineziologa in kam se je kot kineziolog glede na trende smiselno usmeriti. Za pridobivanje podatkov smo uporabili podatkovni zbirki ScienceDirect in Google Učenjak. Opravili pa smo tudi pogovor z Julianom Berrimanom, direktorjem Komisije za poklicne standarde (Professional Standards Committee) pri krovni evropski neprofitni organizaciji s področja fitnesa EuropeActive. Ugotovili smo, da na področju zaposlovanja kineziologov v Sloveniji trenutno prevladuje negativen trend. Na Zavodu RS za zaposlovanje je bilo leta 2021 prijavljenih le 11 delovnih mest za poklic kineziologa. Večina kineziologov je prisiljena iskati zaposlitev v zasebnem sektorju, nekateri pa si posel ustvarijo sami. Po podatkih ameriškega urada za statistiko trga dela (Bureau of Labor Statistics) se bodo možnosti zaposlitve kineziologov med letoma 2020 in 2030 povečale za kar 13 odstotkov. Rast zaposlitvenih možnosti kineziologov bo hitrejša kot pri večini drugih poklicev. K temu bodo gotovo pripomogli vključevanje kineziologov v zdravstveni sistem, vse večja ozaveščenost o pozitivnih učinkih vadbe ter sodelovanje vlad in zavarovalnic pri promoviranju zdravega življenjskega sloga. V smeri skrbi za zdravje se je začela pomikati celotna fitnes industrija, kar pa se bo izrazilo tudi v večjem povpraševanju po izobraženem kadru, med katerega brez dvoma spadajo tudi kineziologiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za šport
