7TH international symposium a child in motion
Koper, Slovenia, October 5th-7th 2012
The already traditional international scientific and expert symposium A Child in Motion, which was organised by the Institute for Kinesiology Research, Scientific Research Centre, University of Primorska and co-organised by the Faculty of Education, University of Primorska and the Faculty of Education, University of Ljubljana, was intended for anyone working in the field of physical/sports activity and for those who incorporate physical/sports activity in their work with children and adolescents.
This year's symposium titled A Child in Motion for Healthy Aging was focused on the search of links between children's motor development in the early stages of life and its sustainable impact on healthy growth and quality aging.
In the year dedicated to active aging (European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity Between Generations - 2012), the symposium has significantly contributed to raising awareness of the importance of motor skills and movement habits acquired in childhood for maintaining good health in later developmental stages and achieving a high quality of life in late adulthood.
The symposium with international participation has offered a wide range of contributions, in the form of plenary lectures, poster and oral presentations, organized in various sections.
The highlighted topics were discussed from different perspectives, indicating the need for an interdisciplinary approach.
Contributions were published in peer-reviewed symposium proceeding book.

7. MEDNARODNI SIMPOZIJ OTROK V GIBANJU
Koper, Slovenija, 5.-7. oktober 2012
Že tradicionalni mednarodni znanstveni in strokovni simpozij Otrok v gibanju, ki je potekal v organizaciji Inštituta za kineziološke raziskave Znanstveno-raziskovalnega središča Univerze na Primorskem ter v soorganizaciji Pedagoške fakultete Univerze na Primorskem in Pedagoške fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani, je bil namenjen vsem, ki delujejo na področju gibalne/športne aktivnosti ali vključujejo vsebine gibalne/športne aktivnost pri delu z otroki in mladostniki. Naslov letošnjega simpozija se je glasil Otrok v gibanju za zdravo staranje s ciljem opozoriti na pomembne povezave med dogajanjem v gibalnem razvoju otroka in trajnostnim vplivom, ki ga ima le-ta na kakovostno in zadovoljno staranje. V letu, posvečenem aktivnemu staranju (European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations - 2012), je simpozij pomembno prispeval k ozaveščanju pomena v otroštvu pridobljenih gibalnih kompetenc in gibalnih navad za ohranjanje zdravja v kasnejših razvojnih obdobjih in doseganje kakovosti življenja v pozni odraslosti.
Na simpoziju z mednarodno udeležbo je bilo po sekcijah predstavljenih 44 prispevkov v obliki plenarnih predavanj, posterjev in referatov. Udeleženci so obravnavano tematiko osvetlili z različnih strokovnih vidikov, kar kaže na potrebo po interdisciplinarnem pristopu.
Prispevki so bili objavljeni v recenziranem zborniku simpozija.
