REPORT ON A VISIT TO THE RUSSIAN STATE UNIVERSITY 
OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION, SPORT, YOUTH AND TOURISM 
Moscow, Russian Federation, 14th–18th May 2019
Within the framework of the bilateral cooperation between Slovenia and Russian 
Federation, a few colleagues from the Institute for Kinesiology Research of SRC Koper 
paid a visit to the Russian State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth and 
Tourism was held between 14th and 18th May 2019. Our kind hosts were Elena Komova, 
PhD, and prof. Sergei Levuskhin, PhD, who showed us the university and the labora-
tory of the Research Institute for Sports and Sports Medicine, where we got acquainted 
with the research associates, equipment, different measurements and researches as well 
as how the institute functions. At the same time, our research work and scientific capa-
cities were presented to our Russian partners in bilateral cooperation. 
On 16th May 2019, we were invited to lecture at introductory session at XIII. “Con-
temporary University Sport Science”, a conference dedicated to graduate students and 
their international experiences. Prof. Boštjan Šimunič, PhD, participated with the lec-
ture “The use of methods of tensiomyography in the study of atrophies” while Saša 
Pišot, PhD with the lecture titled: “Basic motor patterns and physical (embodied) capi-
tal of the child.” The following day, on 17th May 2019, we also participated in a round-
table discussion held at the conference entitled: World Sports Development Systems 
and Elite Athletes’ Access to Education. The topic of the round table was about the 
current good practices and shortcomings of the systems in Russia, Egypt and Slove-
nia, where Prof. Rado Pišot, PhD, presented the results of the project “Double Career 
(2D4C)”, while Prof. Smolianov presented his research of elite sports development 
systems around the world, currently in the US, UK, Senegal and Qatar. In the afternoon 
we had a meeting with Prof. Valentin Sonkin, PhD, who explained us their work in 
detail. We all recognised several common interests in further research, above all in the 
fields of muscle physiology.
The first visit can be considered a success since we have had an important insight 
into the work of our partner institutions and have made a new acquaintance for a su-
ccessful cooperation in research on the field of motor status components of children and 
adolescents with an emphasis on their assessment and measurement. The next step we 
are going to pursue is to formulate concrete suggestions of common research or data 
comparison in the field of children’s motor status. Our Russian colleagues visited us in 
October 2019, when they visited our premises and laboratories as well as participated 
at the 10th International Scientific and Professional Conference “Child in Motion” in 
Portorož, Slovenia. This way we continue our collaboration.

POROČILU O OBISKU RUSKE DRŽAVNE UNIVERZE ZA 
TELESNO VZGOJO, ŠPORT, MLADE IN TURIZEM 
Moskva, Ruska federacija, 14.–18. maj 2019
V okviru sodelovanja Bileterala Slovenija - Rusija je od 14. do 18. maja 2019 manj-
ša skupina sodelavcev Inštituta za kineziološke raziskave ZRS Koper obiskala Russian 
State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth and Tourism, kjer smo bili gostje 
prof. Sergeja Levuskhinga in dr. Elene Komove. Ogledali smo si univerzo ter laborato-
rij raziskovalnega inštituta za šport in medicino športa, kjer smo se seznanili z razisko-
valnimi sodelavci, opremo, meritvami, raziskavami in delovanjem inštituta. Ruskim 
partnerjem v bilateralnem sodelovanju smo ob tem predstavili tudi svoje raziskovalne 
in znanstvene zmogljivosti. 
16. maja 2019 smo sodelovali z uvodnimi predavanji na konferenci XIII. Modern 
university sport science, namenjeni podiplomskih študentom. Prof. dr. Boštjan Šimunič 
je sodeloval s predavanjem The use of tensiomiography in athrophy study /Uporaba 
metode tenziomiografije v študijah atrofij in dr. Saša Pišot s predavanjem Fundamental 
motor patterns and physical (embodied) capital of a child /Elementarni gibalni vzorci 
in utelešen gibalni kapital otroka. 17. maja 2019 smo sodelovali na okrogli mizi, ki je 
potekala v okviru konference Worldwide sport development systems and elite athlete’s 
access to education /Sistemi za razvoj športa in dostop elitnega športnika do izobraže-
vanja. Pogovarjali smo se o trenutnih dobrih praksah in pomanjkljivostih sistemov v 
Rusiji, Egiptu in Sloveniji. Prof. dr. Rado Pišot je predstavil izsledke projekta Dual ca-
reer (2D4C), prof. Smolianov pa raziskavo, ki proučuje različne elitne sisteme za razvoj 
športa po svetu, trenutno v ZDA, Veliki Britaniji, Senegalu in Katarju. V popoldanskem 
času smo imeli še sestanek s prof. dr. Valentinom Sonkinom, v okviru katerega smo po-
drobneje spoznali njihovo delo in opredelili precej skupnih interesov pri raziskovanju, 
predvsem na področju motoričnega razvoja in fiziologije mišice. 
Prvi tovrsten obisk je bil uspešen, saj smo dobili pomemben vpogled v delo par-
tnerske institucije ter sklenili nova poznanstva za uspešno prihodnje sodelovanje in 
raziskovanje na področju komponent gibalnega stanja otrok in mladostnikov s poudar-
kom na njihovem spremljanju in merjenju. Naslednji korak je namenjen oblikovanju 
konkretnih predlogov za sodelovanje v raziskavah in morebitno primerjavo podatkov 
raziskav na področju gibalnega statusa otrok. Obisk ruskih kolegov je potekal oktobra 
2019, ko so obiskali naše prostore in laboratorije in se udeležili 10. mednarodne znan-
stvene in strokovne konference Otrok v gibanju v Portorožu.
