Biography

After completing his MSc at the Faculty of Sport at the University of Ljubljana, he started his collaboration in various research projects and devoted his primary work to kinesiotherapy, rehabilitation of sports injuries, injury prevention and strength & conditioning. Jernej started his career at Terme Krka as the head of the biomechanics laboratory, performing biomechanical diagnostics with patients suffering from locomotor system injuries, and athletes from different disciplines, ranging from recreation level athletes to Olympians. He continued to work on different research projects in the field of kinaesthesia and balance training, which resulted in numerous published scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals. In 2010 he took the role of a research and teachingassistant at University of Primorska, working on the subjects of strength & conditioning, kinesiotheraphy and motor control. Since then he has continued collaborating with different elite athletes and various national-level sports federations. Through his career he has continually been engaged in transferring research results to sports and rehabilitation practice.For his research work in the field of kinaesthetic,Jernejwas awardeda scholarship by the Slovene Human Resources Development and Scholarship Fund for sustainable development. He was a leading member of a team that was awarded for Model example of managing human resources in Revoz Novo Mesto by the The Chamber of Commerce of Dolenjska and Bela krajina.

Qualifications

MSc Sport and Exercise Science (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia)

Research

His research is focused on studying human motor control and motor behaviour, biomechanics, ergonomics and injury prevention. His main focus is on studying movement coordination and visual control and their influence on movement accuracy and performance. In previous years, he has devoted his work to studying human balance in athletes and elderly, as well as studying metric characteristics of balance assessment protocols. In addition,Jernej has studied human kinesthesia, especially in cases of locomotor system injuries. Currently, he is completing a PhDin Applied Kinesiology at the University of Ljubljana, studying the effects of fatigue on trunk stability. His second research focus deals with studying the visual perception strategies in different sports, and its relation to basic abilities such as balance, control, and power development.
