Online First is a feature that enables the publication of final revised articles online before their inclusion in a printed issue. This accelerates the dissemination of research findings and ensures that your authors' work reaches the audience promptly.
Articles published through Online First are assigned a DOI upon their online posting. They should be cited as follows:
Author(s). Title of the article. Exercise and Quality of Life. Advance online publication. DOI:10.31382/xxxx
After assignment to a final issue, citations can include the volume and page numbers in addition to the DOI.
Once articles are allocated to a specific issue, their hosting transitions from the Online First page to the main journal archive. The DOI ensures persistent accessibility.
Citations to Online First articles are counted toward the journal's Impact Factor if other indexing criteria are met. This promotes earlier engagement with the published work.
Online First articles are considered final but not definitive until assigned to a specific issue. Errors identified in the online version can be corrected before the final issue publication.

KINEMATIC STRUCTURE OF THE SLOW FOX FEATHER STEP
In dance, biomechanical methodologies are used to improve aspects of dance technique. Therefore the aim of our study was to gain knowledge of the kinematic structure of the feather step in slow fox routine. Material and methods: Four top level dance couples were involved in the study. To examine the routine biomechanically we have filmed the particular dance figures by high speed camera with frequency of 50 frames per second. Subsequently, we processed and evaluated digitalized images by 2D analysis. The path of gravity and angular changes in knee joint in the particular dance figures phases were evaluated and compared between partners and pairs together. Results: Dancing couples in the same conditions reached different readings in angle of the knee joint as well as trajectory of the centre of gravity during motion.
