Individual programmes for strengthening the muscles


These programmes are aimed at both top sportspeople and recreational sportspeople. Prior to the creation of a rehabilitation programme, the patient must be examined by an orthopaedic surgeon at ORTHOPS in order to exclude a knee injury demanding arthroscopy or another method of treatment. Programmes are created and demonstrated by Prof. Dr. Vojko Strojnik.

Prof. Dr. Vojko Strojnik
is a full professor of Anthropological Kinesiology, who also has a doctorate in Kinesiology Sciences. He teaches at the Faculty for Sport in Ljubljana, where he heads the Section for Kinesiology and the Laboratory for Biomechanical Measurement. He lectures on the nervous-mechanical foundations of movement, strength and flexibility training, and an introduction to anthropological kinesiology. His research focuses mainly on tiredness during the most intensive movement, the effects of strength training on changes in movement, pain reduction in relation to problems connected to the moving parts of the body (the small of the back, knees) and exercise for older people. In addition to his teaching and research work, he also advises top sportspeople on fitness.
