Open Access

Online First is a feature that enables the publication of final revised articles online before their inclusion in a printed issue. This accelerates the dissemination of research findings and ensures that your authors' work reaches the audience promptly.

Articles published through Online First are assigned a DOI upon their online posting. They should be cited as follows:

Author(s). Title of the article. Exercise and Quality of Life. Advance online publication. DOI:10.31382/xxxx

After assignment to a final issue, citations can include the volume and page numbers in addition to the DOI.

Once articles are allocated to a specific issue, their hosting transitions from the Online First page to the main journal archive. The DOI ensures persistent accessibility.

Citations to Online First articles are counted toward the journal's Impact Factor if other indexing criteria are met. This promotes earlier engagement with the published work.

Online First articles represent the final published version of the manuscript and may be cited using their DOI. Once assigned to a regular issue, the volume, issue, and page information are added to the citation while the DOI remains unchanged. Minor production errors identified after Online First publication may be corrected in accordance with the journal’s publication policy before assignment to a regular issue.

Biodynamic analysis of the uki goshi technique in judo

Active experiment for analysis of movement activities dinamographic structure of “Uki Goshi”, one of the main ku-dan system judo techniques has been performed. The hypothesis that there are much more complicated interrelations between kinematical and dynamical structures has been proved. With the means of reacting dummy, the uke counter attack in the specific points of dynamic function development has been modeled. The untenability of classic biodynamic analysis conclusions, where the uke reaction is not modeled was proved. This study has also relation to the creation of individual training process for highly qualified competitors.

A comparison of heart rates between simulated and real altitude

The aim of the presents study is to make a comparison between heart rates measured at real altitude and at the simulated altitude (in hypoxic chamber), before and after the process of acclimatization. Six students (two women and four men) of Faculty of sport in Ljubljana participated in the study. They undergone eighteen day long acclimatization process on 2100 - 5642 m. Heart rates were measured in rest and during the step test before and after the acclimatization, at two locations: high altitude simulation chamber in Ljubljana and real altitude in Elbrus, Kavkaz, both at 2100 m. The results showed that heart rates were not significantly different between real altitude and simulated altitude. Acclimatization process caused a decrease of heart rates in both cases. From that we can conclude that it would be possible to train in hypoxic chamber and therefore shorten the acclimatization time in real very high mountains. Heart rate could be used as an objective parameter of the quality of the acclimatization. This should be proven in the future by research on bigger sample.
