| THE SOCIO-PROFESSIONAL STATUS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN PORTUGAL - A QUALITATIVE APPROACH |
| "Despite some worth mentioning initiatives, Physical Education teaching in Portugal was only unveiled and recognized at a later stage by others than the ones directly involved in it. In fact, during most of the 20th century, both the subject and the teachers were clearly considered to have a peripheral status, particularly when compared to their professional peers..." |

| EVALUATION OF ADAPTIVE PROCESSES OF KINEMATIC AND DYNAMIC PERFORMANCES OF RUNNING AT MAXIMUM SPEED IN TRAINING WITH ADDITIONAL INERTIAL LOAD APPLICATION |
| "The subject of this study was to investigate the effects of additional inertial load in the training of maximum running speed. The objective of this research was to produce changes in kinematic and dynamic performances of maximum running speed in training with additional inertial loads application, as well as to determine the adaptive processes that were supposed to significantly influence the maximum running speed in the observed variables. An experiment with parallel groups was carried out during which the effect of experimental factors (inertial load) was on two levels..." |

| DIFFERENCES IN THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL PROFILE OF THE BASKETBALL REFEREES WITH REGARDS TO THEIR CHRONOLOGICAL AGE |
| "The aim of our research was to determine differences in the anthropological profile of best Croatian basketball referees with regard to their chronological age. The study included 31 referees from the A referee list in the competitive season 2008/2009. In order to determine the statistical differences they were divided into two age groups; young (n = 16) including referees age 26-32 and older group (n = 15) including referees aged 33-46. Participants were tested on different variables for the assessment of motor and functional abilities and morphological characteristics..." |

| STUDENTS MOTIVATION FOR SPORTS AND THEIR EVALUATION OF SCHOOL |
| "In this survey a sample of 312 students of primary school aged 8 – 14 years was used to test the hypothesis if the motivational profile predetermines sport activities and a success in Physical Education (PE) classes. After a factorisation and crossing of the components of external and internal motivation, the author extracted three motivational profiles of actors in sports activities: internal, joint motivated and external motivated. ..." |

| BASKETBALL IN THE TERRITORY OF FORMER YUGOSLAVIA FROM 1ST OF JANUARY 1942 UNTIL THE 9TH OF MAY 1945 |
| "Development of basketball in the territory of former Yugoslavia in the time of II World War remained quite un-researched. Even though it was truly played, with almost same intensity as before the War, for a long time people were silent and wrote very little about it. During the period (1942 – 1945) several sport clubs existed in Belgrade: Sk. 1913, Bask, Bsk, Btk, Bob, Obilić, Sask, Bankarac, Izbeglice (Refugees), Vladan Matics’ club and others who cherished basketball in newly-formed teams..." |

| THE IMPORTANCE OF STRENGTH IN SPORT DANCE PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUE |
| "Strength is a motor ability that largely determines the features of a move. In the area of conventional sports, that is the very facet that serves as the basis for its importance, which is corroborated by several studies. In sport dance, it is usually demonstrated in the form of repetitive and explosive strength and in the function of introducing nuances in the dynamics of dance performance..." |

| WRITING SKILLS AT UNIVERSITY LEVEL |
| "It is beyond questioning that out of all skills students say they want to strengthen, writing poses the biggest challenge. As students in western countries enter the university, writing almost always takes on a new and challenging dimension. As students leave their protected classrooms at the Gymnasium for the mass education settings at universities, they quickly realize that the demands placed on them also change just as drastically..." |

| GENE THERAPY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS IN SPORT |
| "Thanks to the very successful Human Genome Project and the identification of genes involved in genetic disease, we now have the ability to treat many conditions. However, the identification of the genes which code certain phenotype characteristics has opened the way for abuse in the fields of sport and physical exercise. The principles of gene therapy and the ways in which genes are transferred have completely been copied from gene therapy and are now being used to increase the physical abilities of athletes..." |
