Miletić's research explores the educational and health dimensions of outdoor experiences through spiritual, psychological, and physical lenses. His work bridges practical outdoor pedagogy with theoretical frameworks, examining how nature-based activities foster environmental consciousness and personal development. Recent publications increasingly integrate ecological principles with physical culture, analyzing how outdoor education can cultivate sustainable relationships with natural environments while enhancing physical literacy.
His scholarly output reveals three key trajectories: methodological innovations in outdoor education delivery, health outcomes from nature-based interventions, and philosophical explorations of outdoor activities.
