Guide for Authors

Categories of articles

The journal publishes original empirical and theoretical articles, review articles and previous scientific reports, contributing to the dissemination of research results in various aspects of physical culture and sports, namely: humanistic, spiritual and moral value of physical culture, sports, tourism and recreation and their place in modern society; psychological and pedagogical aspects of physical education, sports and tourism and local lore; medical and biological aspects of physical culture and sports; physical culture, physical education of different groups of the population; Olympic and professional sports; theoretical, methodological and organizational foundations of tourism and local lore; theoretical and methodological principles of physical recreation; problems of a healthy way of life in modern conditions.

Empirical articles should be written concisely using a scientific format (introduction, methods (including participants, tools and procedures), results, discussions, links).

Theoretical work should build on existing research literature and critically analyze selected models and / or theories, or only present empirical results if they are directly related to the theory.

The review article should critically evaluate materials that have already been published. The purpose of the review article is to analyze, evaluate and synthesize modern knowledge, not just to reproduce what is already known. Review articles should consist of the following sections: problem definition, summary of previous research, explanation of the subject, contradictions, problems and suggestions for further research.

General principles for the preparation of the manuscript. Article presentation style. Citation in the text

Manuscripts should be designed in accordance with the general guidelines in the style set out in the publication:

- uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals;

- EASE (European Association of Science Editors) guidelines for authors and translators of scientific articles to be published in English.

Accurate and clear expression of opinions and research information should be the main goal of a scientific article. It is necessary to avoid indefinite terminology, not to use several statements in one sentence, to use simple sentences with active statement. You don't need to use compound sentences, conjunctions, and "and" words and phrases in one sentence. Abbreviations (except for the generally accepted ones) should be avoided, and unfamiliar words, slang, and jargon should not be used. It is necessary to minimize the use of adjectives, use direct and short sentences of up to 15-20 words, in one sentence to formulate one idea (opinion).

The editors reserve the right to make any final corrections to the manuscript to ensure consistency within the journal..

The text of the article should correspond to the IMRAD format (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion), ie it is necessary to highlight such sections as the introduction; The aim of the study; research material and methods; research results; conclusions.

Introduction (statement of a scientific problem and its connection with important scientific or practical tasks, analysis of research in which the solution to this problem is initiated and on which the author relies; highlighting previously unsolved parts of the general problem revealed by this article).

The purpose of the study (the purpose should solving a problem or gaining knowledge about it. The purpose of the study focuses on its end result, the tasks formulate questions to be answered to achieve the purpose of the study. To formulate the goal it is desirable to use words to establish, discover, develop, prove, etc.).

Material and research methods. This section should be short, but sufficient to allow other scientists to replicate the study, and contain three sections (other sections may be added if necessary):

• Indicate the number of participants, age, sports qualifications of the respondents. Note that all participants received informed consent to participate in this experiment.
• Organization of the study. This part should be short, accurate and logical (brief information about each step of research, duration and sequence of the experiment). Indicate the devices, equipment, tests used.
• Statistical analysis. In the subheading “Statistical analysis” the authors should explain which statistical methods were used in the analysis of the data presented in the section “Research results” and justify their application. Statistical methods should be described in detail to verify the results presented. Statistical values should be shown together with the data in the text, as well as in tables and figures. At the end of the statistical analysis, the authors should indicate the level of significance and the statistical programs used. We draw the authors' attention to the fact that a simple list of research methods used by the editors is not accepted.

The data collection protocol, procedures, test parameters, measurement methods, and equipment should be described in sufficient detail to allow other scientists to reproduce the results. References to the methods used must be provided. Little-known and significantly modified methods should be described in detail, the names of the devices used should be accompanied by information about the manufacturer (name, city and country) indicated in parentheses.

Providing information about the participants of the experiments (patients) requires their official consent.
