20.500.12556/DiRROS-27828 Analyses of the development and challenges of parkour coaches’ education in Europe Analiza razvitosti in izzivov izobraževanja trenerjev parkourja v Evropi Purpose: Parkour historically developed as an urban community “lifestyle” move-ment that relied mainly on informal teaching and training methodologies. With formal institutionalization, parkour has transitioned into more formalized structures, includ-ing established training academies, coaching certifications, and competitive events. This article presents a structured literature review with the aim of providing an over-view of the historical, philosophical/ideological, organizational/institutional, and edu-cational aspects of parkour coach education and knowledge development in Europe. Based on the review, key challenges for future development are also highlighted.Method: For the purposes of a structured literature review, the search and selection process followed the general principles of the PRISMA 2020 statement as a framework, rather than a formal systematic review protocol. Google Scholar was chosen as the pri-mary search platform. Following the initial screening and analysis, 12 relevant sources were included in the in-depth review. In addition to the literature review, online sources from professional international sports organizations involved in education, training, and certification of parkour coaches were also examined. Findings: It can be noted that parkour in Europe is still predominantly developed and understood as a “lifestyle” urban activity with the gradual parallel formation of an institutional, formal sports discipline, which is reflected in the intra-organizational and philosophical-ideological conflict between participants and (opinion) leaders of parkour. These conflicts are also evident at the level of training/education of parkour coaches and instructors.Conclusions: Recognizing and respecting parkour’s roots as a self-organized cul-ture is essential if institutionalization is to enhance rather than diminish the discipline’s diversity, creativity, and authenticity. Namen: Parkour se je zgodovinsko razvil kot gibanje urbanega skupnostnega »ži-vljenjskega sloga«, ki se je zanašalo predvsem na neformalne metodologije poučevanja in treninga. S formalno institucionalizacijo se je parkour preoblikoval v bolj formalizi-rane strukture, vključno z uveljavljenimi akademijami za trening, trenerskimi certifikati in tekmovalnimi dogodki. Ta članek strukturirano pregleda literaturo ter predstavlja zgodovinske, filozofsko-ideološke, organizacijsko-institucionalne in izobraževalne vidi-ke izobraževanja trenerjev parkourja in razvoja znanja v Evropi. Na podlagi pregleda so poudarjeni tudi ključni izzivi za prihodnji razvoj.Metoda: Za strukturiran pregled literature je postopek iskanja in izbora sledil splo-šnim načelom izjave PRISMA 2020 kot okviru in ne formalnemu protokolu sistema-tičnega pregleda. Kot primarna iskalna platforma je bil izbran Google Scholar. Po začetnem pregledu in analizi je bilo v poglobljen pregled vključenih 12 ustreznih virov. Ob literaturi so bili pregledani tudi spletni viri profesionalnih mednarodnih športnih organizacij, ki se ukvarjajo z izobraževanjem, usposabljanjem in certificiranjem tre-nerjev parkourja.Ugotovitve: Ugotovili smo, da je parkour v Evropi še vedno večinoma razvit in ra-zumljen kot urbana, z življenjskim slogom povezana dejavnost, hkrati pa se postopoma oblikuje kot institucionalna, formalna športna disciplina, kar se izraža v znotraj-or-ganizacijskem in filozofsko-ideološkem konfliktu med udeleženci in (mnenjskimi) vodji parkourja. Tega je mogoče opaziti tudi na ravni usposabljanja/izobraževanja trenerjev parkourja. Zaključek: Prepoznavanje in spoštovanje zgodovinskih korenin parkourja kot sa-moorganizirane kulture sta bistvena za zagotovitev, da institucionalizacija krepi ter ne zmanjšuje raznolikosti, ustvarjalnosti in pristnosti te discipline. sport parkour coaches education training institutionalization formalization šport parkour trenerji usposabljanje institucionalizacija formalizacija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Copyright (c) 2025 Edvard Kolar, Rado Pišot, Saša Veličković, Ana Cikač Neznano 2026-02-26 08:34:54 2026-02-26 08:34:54 2026-02-27 03:58:33 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 131-163 št. 2 Letn. 16 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-02-25 796.02 2232-2620 269694467 ZRSKP_Kolar_Edvard_PisotR_CikacA_2025.pdf ZRSKP_Kolar_Edvard_PisotR_CikacA_2025.pdf 1 5D904C4898A428C50AC63B840139379C 94a1aaa9102a7db33d377da9ff9b732a9a37fa468949ed7963b9d15c1349b892 e0884944-12e5-11f1-9cb0-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40922 https://ojs.zrs-kp.si/index.php/AK/article/view/527 1 a5d71495-12e5-11f1-9cb0-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40921 Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper / Centro di Ricerche Scientifiche Capodistria 0 0 0
