“…Based on the analysis of all three topological areas of strength (arm and shoulder belt strength, lower limb strength, abdomen strength), it can be noted that most studies indicate a declining trend, which is not surprising given the changing lifestyle of children and adolescents, physical inactivity, and increasing screen-time around the world in the previous three decades (38). However, in some studies, in certain cohorts a trend of increase in strength has been noticed whereas in other cohorts a decrease in strength was not evident (19,22,23).…”

Introduction and Objective: This systematic review aimed to analyse the international evolution of fitness with its distributional changes in the performance on tests of physical fitness among school-aged children and adolescents.Methods: In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, the search was undertaken in four international databases (ERIC, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) to identify the studies reporting temporal trends in the physical fitness among school-aged children and adolescents.Results: A total of 485 potential articles were identified, of which 19 articles were relevant for the qualitative synthesis; 1,746,023 children and adolescents from 14 countries (China, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, New Zealand, Denmark, Spain, Norway, Mozambique, Poland, USA, Lithuania, Portugal, Canada), for the period between 1969 and 2017 were included. The subjects were tested using 45 motor tests from eight battery tests. The quality of the study in eight articles was rated as strong, while in 11 articles it was rated as moderate.Discussion: The vast majority of studies show a constant decline in strength and endurance. Three Chinese studies show an increase in strength from 1985 to 1995 and then a decline until 2014. For endurance, similar patterns were found in the two most comprehensive Chinese studies. The decline in flexibility is also evident in European countries. For agility, speed, balance, and coordination, the trend differs among populations.

“…Furthermore, no changes were found in the other PF tests across the analyzed period. The most relevant outcome of the present study is the substantive increase from 2009 to 2019 in some PF components in both sexes, in contrast to the general trends suggesting that children PF tends to decline in various countries in the previous three decades, given the development of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors from an early age [ 31 ]. In line with our results, Smpokos, et al [ 32 ] also described positive secular changes in Greek boys and girls (1992/1993–2006/2007) in their aerobic capacity, anaerobic strength, and flexibility.…”

The physical fitness of children is an important marker of health, and monitoring its temporal changes provides important information for developing interventions. We aimed to: (1) describe secular trends in physical fitness across age, within each sex, in Peruvian schoolchildren; and (2) verify if these trends are also present when adjusted for changes in height and weight. We sampled 1590 children (707 in 2009; 883 in 2019), aged 6–11 years. Physical fitness was assessed with four tests from the EUROFIT battery. ANOVA and ANCOVA statistical models were used. Results showed that with increasing age, girls and boys were significantly stronger in all PF tests, except for the case of flexibility in girls. In 2019, girls were stronger (handgrip) and more flexible than in 2009; but lower values were evident in standing long jumps in both sexes. Age-by-year interactions were statistically significant for agility in both sexes, with significant differences occurring at different ages. These trends did not change when adjusted for temporal changes in height and weight. Our research provides important data for local governments to implement public policies and practices to improve physical fitness levels in children.

“…As for the "Web of Science" database, one of the important facts is that two researchers who were not in the top 10 researchers last year found their place among them, compared to the research conducted by Vukasevic et al [2]. These are Bojan Masanovic, who has published 10 papers in journals indexed in SCI, SSCI or SCIE databases in the last two years [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13] and Ivan Vasiljevic, who published three papers in the same period in the journals that are indexed in the mentioned databases [14,15,16].Along with them, Jovan Gardasevic is making extremely visible progress, having published nine papers in the last two years in journals indexed in SCI, SSCI or SCIE databases [11,12,13,14,15,17,18,19,20]. Montenegrin researchers in the field of sports sciences are one of the few in the entire scientific community of Montenegro who have managed to publish scientific papers in even the most prestigious journals of today.…”

The aim of this research was to analyze the trend of publication within Montenegrin journals, as well as the scientific research activities of Montenegrin researchers in the field of sports science. The investigation subject included the scientific papers published in the period from 2002 until 2020, within the field of sports science. The electronic databases (Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science) were searched for research articles available until 22nd September 2020. The findings of this study were summarized in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, presenting the values of citations, h-index, i10-index, as well as the number of scientific papers of the best authors. The results of this study indicated that researchers in the field of sports science increased the number of publications from 2002 to 2020. The number of citations span from 502 and 10677 within ten most cited researchers in Google Scholar database, while the same researchers were cited quite less in Scopus and Web of Science databases. On the other hand, in Google Scholar database, there are three registered Montenegrin journals and the Sport Mont journal is the most cited one. The Montenegrin Journal of Sports Science and Medicine is the best ranked Montenegrin journal according to the bibliometric data that can be found in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, while the Journal of Anthropology of Sport and Physical Education is the lowest ranked in Scopus and Web of Science databases, but middle ranked in Google Scholar database, and with significant progress in the last year. Hence, the further deployment is expected in upcoming period.
