6th International Scientific Conference
“EXERCISE AND QUALITY OF LIFE - EQOL 2024”
“THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF SPORT SCIENCE”
Novi Sad, Serbia, 11–13 April 2024
Reflecting on the valuable insights and discussions that emerged during 
the 6th International Scientific Conference entitled “Exercise and Quality of 
Life - EQOL 2024”, we would like to provide some key information about 
this year’s conference. The attendance of 392 registered participants from 47 
countries, who presented a total of 184 papers over three days, showed an or-
ganizational record in all respects. It certainly reflects a progression from pre-
vious years and highlights the need for scientific events such as conferences 
and congresses to take place in-person. A significant scientific contribution 
was made by the diverse group of planned and invited lectures, which presen-
ted the latest developments and touched upon new problems observed in the 
field of kinesiology and sports science. More details about the conference can 
be found at: https://eqol.rs/.
The use of information technology, its advantages and its dangers, is un-
doubtedly becoming increasingly important and is likely to remain a genuine 
research paradigm in the future. The applications of IT in sport, preventive 
measures and health interventions still require scientific reflection and a for-
ward-looking perspective, emphasizing the significance of the basic science of 
kinesiology.
The Institute for Kinesiology Research at ZRS Koper participated as a par-
tner in organizing the conference this year and played an important role by 
presenting eight scientific papers and a keynote lecture by one of its researcher. 
Organizing such a diverse and dynamic event was challenging yet rewarding 
for everyone involved. The scientific novelties presented were significant, and 
the connections established during the conference represent a significant added 
value in the fostering of new international institutional collaborations.
Therefore, special thanks goes to the dedicated team of organizers and the 
students of the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education, who were a key force 
in ensuring the success of the conference. We hope to have the opportunity to 
collaborate again at the next EQOL in 2027.

6. mednarodna znanstvena konferenca
VADBA IN KAKOVOST ŽIVLJENJA– EQOL 2024 
GLOBALNI VPLIV ŠPORTNE ZNANOSTI 
Novi Sad, Srbija, 11.–13. april 2024
Ob razmisleku o novostih in plodnih razpravah med 6. mednarodno znan-
stveno konferenco Vadba in kakovost življenja – EQOL 2024 navajamo nekaj 
ključnih informacij. Sodelovalo je 392 registriranih udeležencev iz 47 držav, ki 
so v treh dneh konference predstavili skupno 184 prispevkov, kar v vseh pogle-
dih potrjuje uspeh organizatorjev. To gotovo izraža napredek v primerjavi s pre-
teklimi leti in poudarja potrebo po znanstvenih dogodkih, kot so konference in 
kongresi v živo. Pomemben znanstveni prispevek je bil dosežen z raznovrstno 
skupino plenarnih in uvodnih predavanj, v katerih so predavatelji predstavili 
najnovejši razvoj ter obravnavali nove probleme, opažene na področju kinezi-
ologije in športne znanosti. Več podrobnosti o konferenci najdete na povezavi 
https://eqol.rs/.
Uporaba informacijske tehnologije, njene prednosti in opozarjanje na nevar-
nosti nedvomno postajajo vse pomembnejši in bodo verjetno ostali pomembna 
raziskovalna paradigma v prihodnosti. Aplikacije IT, namenjene vrhunskemu 
in rekreacijskemu športu, preventivi in intervenciji, gotovo zahtevajo znanstve-
ni razmislek in usmerjen pogled naprej, kar poudarja pomen temeljne znanosti 
o kineziologiji.
Inštitut za kineziološke raziskave pri ZRS Koper je letos sodeloval kot 
partner pri organizaciji konference in imel pomembno vlogo s predstavitvijo 
osmih znanstvenih prispevkov in plenarnim predavanjem. Organizacija tako 
vsebinsko raznovrstnega in dinamičnega dogodka je bila zahtevna, hkrati pa 
nagrajujoča za vse vključene. Predstavljene so bile pomembne znanstvene no-
vosti, nova poznanstva, vzpostavljena med konferenco, pa so velika dodana 
vrednost za spodbujanje novih mednarodnih institucionalnih sodelovanj.
Za ta uspešno izvedeni dogodek gre posebna zahvala predani ekipi organi-
zatorjev in študentom Fakultete za šport in telesno vzgojo iz Novega Sada, ki so 
pomembno pripomogli k uspešni izvedbi konference. Upamo, da bomo imeli 
priložnost ponovno sodelovati na naslednji konferenci EQOL leta 2027.
