Activity as Rector of the National University of Ukraine on Physical Education and Sport of Ukraine (NUUPES)

V.N. Platonov had headed the University for more than a quarter of a century (1986–2012) ^[4] and before the end of his contract decided to move to research work, having received the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

During his years as rector, he had achieved intensive development of the University, turning it into one of the world's authoritative centers of special education and sports science. In 1993, Kyiv State Institute of Physical Culture was transformed into the Ukrainian State University of Physical Education and Sport with the highest level of accreditation, and, in 1998, into the National University of Ukraine on Physical Education and Sport of Ukraine, the leading university in the field with broad powers in the area of development of special education and sports science in the country. ^[6]

V.N. Platonov successfully established physical education and sport as an independent branch of special education and sports science, separating it from the field of pedagogy. This pivotal achievement fundamentally broadened its subject area, aligning it with global scientific advancements, practical applications, and the evolving social needs of society. As a result, the system of special education, research work, and the training of academic and educational personnel in Ukraine underwent significant reorganization.

This newly defined field encompassed not only the theory and methodology of physical education for various population groups and the sports training of children and youth but also a diverse array of disciplines. These included Olympic, professional, and non-Olympic sports, human health, recreation and physical rehabilitation, sports management and marketing, physiology, psychology, kinesiology, medicine, and more. This initiative served as a powerful catalyst for the advancement of sports science and education, elevating their prominence and expanding their impact on society.

V.N. Platonov used the expansive experience the University accumulated over the previous decades in the field of training and professional development of coaches, combining educational activities with the preparation of world-class athletes, organizational and scientific support for their preparation. On its basis, the consequences of the relative isolation of educational and research activities from the achievements of the Western world countries typical of the USSR were overcome within several years. Traditional relationships with academic and educational institutions of the GDR, Poland, Bulgaria, and PRC were supplemented by intensive cooperation with leading universities of Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Republic of Korea, Japan, Canada, and Brazil.

Close and mutually beneficial relations were established with the largest publishing houses focused on special scientific and educational literature such as Revue EPS (France), Paidotribo (Spain), Philippka (Germany), Blackwell (Great Britain), Calzetti Mariucci, (Italy), Artmed (Brazil), and a number of other countries, especially China. As a result of this cooperation, a number of leading experts from the University had an opportunity to publish more than 40 monographs and textbooks abroad, to spread their knowledge and experience by giving lectures in universities of many countries, participating in numerous seminars for coaches and educators, programs for the development of systems of scientific support for the preparation of elite athletes, etc.

Fruitful cooperation was also established with a number of world leading companies producing research and sports equipment. It allowed to equip the largest in those years in Ukraine training and scientific-educational center “Olympic Style” with a wide range of training and research equipment of the world-famous company TechnoGym, and the research institute of the University with telemetric complexes produced by the Cosmed company. On the same basis, the sports trauma clinic, the establishment of which was initiated by the famous sports traumatologist Professor V.M. Levenets, was equipped at the world level; the sports and educational centers for shooting, billiard sport, bowling, etc., were also provided with equipment. ^[4]

The participation of the University in the system of scientific and methodological support for preparation of the strongest athletes of the country for the Olympic Games and other major competitions, professional development of coaching staff, cooperation with numerous sports boarding schools, schools, training centers, and national teams, as well as in the direct preparation of world-class athletes on the basis of sports and educational departments was preserved and adapted to the new historical conditions. ^[6] This greatly influenced the achievements of the country’s top athletes in the world arena in the period from 1992 to 2010.

V.N. Platonov paid special attention to cooperation with the International Olympic Committee. The program of researches of actual issues of Olympic movement and introduction of knowledge in the field of Olympic sport into the educational process of higher educational institutions of physical education and sport proposed by him was actively supported by the IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch. The result of this work was the inclusion of the discipline “Olympic Sport” in the system of special education and the establishment of departments of Olympic Sport in all special universities of the country, the organization and regular holding of the International Congress “Olympic Sport and Sport for All” under the patronage of the IOC, the publication of the textbook for universities “Olympic Sport”, a number of fundamental encyclopedias and monographs on the most important areas of the Olympic movement, the theory and methods of preparation athletes. The achievements of the university in this field were presented at the Olympic Scientific Congresses of 1994 in Paris and 2009 in Copenhagen, and were recognized with the highest awards of the International Olympic Committee.

In 1970–1990s, he initiated the establishment and ensured the functioning in the University of a number of Olympic training centers for the most popular sports (road and track cycling, freestyle wrestling, judo, and swimming), as well as the school of sports excellence, a large group of trainees of which became winners and medalists of the Olympic Games, World and European championships, who have achieved a number of world records.

The publishing house Olympic Literature

For the purpose of informational support for athletes’ preparation and development of sports science in the field of physical education and sport, the publishing house Olympic Literature was established in 1994 in the NUUPES on the initiative of V.N. Platonov. The publishing house policy was based on the principle that only those textbooks and monographs that meet the highest world standards and are written by internationally recognized authorities on the most relevant topics should be published. This principle, oriented to the needs of the reader, ensured the exceptional popularity of the books of the publishing house Olympic Literature. Over the period from 1994 to 2011, the publishing house has published more than 100 fundamental works by leading world experts on a wide range of issues of modern sport and health-enhancing physical activity, sports physiology, kinesiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, sports medicine, and others. The publishing house has become one of the largest in Europe, along with Blackwell (Great Britain), Paidotribo (Spain), Philippka (Germany), Calzetti Mariucci (Italy), in terms of volume and quality of production and has provided high quality literature not only for the system of special education and sports science in Ukraine, but also for the countries of the former USSR.

Dissemination of knowledge

Honorary Doctor (Professor) at a number of the largest universities of Europe, Asia, and America. ^[5] Since the mid-1970s, he has delivered over 40 plenary lectures at prominent international scientific conferences and congresses, as well as presented at numerous universities and scientific centers across more than 40 countries, including Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Mexico, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Tunisia, Israel, Bulgaria, Romania, the USSR, Russia, Poland, Ukraine, China, and Japan.

In the same period, he either organized or participated in over 150 workshops for highly qualified coaches and specialists in high-performance sports and Olympic training. These workshops have been held in numerous countries worldwide, contributing significantly to the development of expertise in the field.
