In 2005 the university resumed release of Scientific notes of St. Petersburg State University of physical culture of P.F. Lesgaft.
The beginning of the edition belongs to 1944. The first release was completely devoted to questions of medical physical culture, and professor, the doctor of medical sciences, the head of the department of physiology Alexey Nikolaevich Krestovnikov (nowadays the chair bears his name) was the editor of the collection. Among authors of articles of this release – such outstanding persons, as A.V. Belorusova, E.G. Kotelnikov, G. M. Krakovyak, V. K. Dobrovolsky and, of course, itself Groundsels.

Alexey Nikolaevich Krestovnikov was the invariable editor and the author of Scientific notes up to 1949 (the 5th release). Its articles on physiology of sports have especially practical character, they are laconic and are still actual. "… we should study and study still a condition of an organism of athletes that as it is possible to pull together more closely the theory and practice of sports and to arm athletes and trainers with more exact and profound knowledge for the purpose of achievement of the best results by them in the work" – these words can be the motto and present scientists.
In 1949 three releases (3, 4, 5) were published, and from the third release there is a signature stamp "Is approved by the Academic Council of GDOIFK of P.F. Lesgaft". In the fourth release the editorial board was headed by Ya.M.
