ANNALES KINESIOLOGIAE • 2 • 2011 • 1 76 THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE ON »EXERCISE AND QUALITY OF LIFE« EQOL Between the 24th and 26th of March 2011, the scientific conference Exercise and Quality of Life EQOL was held in Novi Sad, Serbia with international participation. The aim of the conference was to encourage physical activity for the health and well- being of individuals as different forms of physical activity and exercise, such as active games, recreational and professional sports have a significant impact on quality of life. Clearly, this requires an interdisciplinary approach and a strong support of scientific research studies related to exercise. The above-mentioned approach encourages the participation of experts from various fields such as sports, education, medicine, psy- chology, politics and other relevant disciplines. The conference was attended by nine active members of the Institute for Kinesiol- ogy Research, Scientific and Research Centre Koper, University of Primorska. The re- sults of our scientific research derived from different scientific projects of the Institute for Kinesiology Research, which were presented in the form of posters and active learn- ing. These projects have been fully published in a peer-reviewed journal of lectures.

Cilj konference je bil spodbuditi telesno aktivnost za zdravje in dobro počutje posameznikov, saj različne oblike telesne aktivnosti in vadbe, od aktivne igre do rekreativnega in vrhunskega špor- ta, bistveno vplivajo na kakovost življenja. Nedvomno to zahteva interdisciplinarni pri- stop in močno podporo znanstvenih raziskovalnih vprašanj, povezanih s telesno vadbo. Potreba po takem pristopu spodbuja sodelovanje strokovnjakov z različnih področij: športa, izobraževanja, medicine, psihologije, politike in drugih ustreznih strok. Konference se je aktivno udeležilo devet članov Inštituta za kineziološke raziskave Znanstveno-raziskovalnega središča Univerze na Primorskem. Rezultati našega znan- stveno-raziskovalnega dela, pridobljeni iz različnih projektov Inštituta za kineziološke raziskave, so bili aktivno predstavljeni v obliki posterjev in aktivnih predavanj, ki so v celoti objavljeni v recenziranem zborniku predavanj. dr.
