Subjective assessment of kinesitherapy as an element of comprehensive rehabilitation process of subjects with lower spine pain Łubkowska Wioletta¹, Połeć Justyna¹, Szark-Eckardt Mirosława², Żukowska Hanna² ¹ Department of Physical Education and Health Promotion, University of Szczecin, Poland ² Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland Abstract Background. Spinal pain has triggered interest in many fields of medicine, such as orthopedics, neurology, rheumatology, and rehabilitation. Despite ongoing development of surgery techniques, a major role is played by fitness improvement treatments, which need to be promoted. The aim of the research was a subjective assessment of kinesitherapy as an element of comprehensive rehabilitation process of subjects with lower spine pain. Material/Methods. This paper has an empirical character. The research was conducted amongst a randomly selected group of 60 patients of Independent Public Health Care Unit in Choszczno, Poland (rehabilitation at an outpatients’ clinic), aged 20-51. All of them were subjected to a series of 10 kinesitherapy treatments. The research used diagnostic polling method and the following techniques: survey and implicit interview. Results. The research proved that after completion of 10 treatments, the subjects noticed a significant improvement of their health. Kinesitherapy helped return to an active professional life for those who were forced to resign or suspend their work. Subjects reported that 10 kinesitherapy treatments were enough to notice their effectiveness in lumbar spine pain reduction. Kinesitherapy treatments resulted in a reduced usage of painkillers. Conclusions. There is evidence of positive impact of physical exercise on treatment results and beneficial effects in patients with spinal pain. Proper education aimed at changing bad habits and advising how to care for spine may be a powerful way to fight for health. Keywords: spine, pain syndromes, lumbar spine, kinesitherapy, curative exercises, improving fitness

Jana Pawła II w Mroczy The role of physical education to build awareness of physical activity students Gymnasium named John Paul II in Mrocza Agata Jędrzyńska1, Mirosława Szark-Eckardt2, Michalina Kuska2, Walery Zukow2 1Uniwersytet Kazimierza Wielkiego w Bydgoszczy, Instytut Geografii2Uniwersytet Kazimierza Wielkiego w Bydgoszczy, Instytut Kultury Fizycznej StreszczenieTematem pracy jest wpływ uczestnictwa w zajęciach wychowania fizycznego na proces budowania świadomości w zakresie aktywności fizycznej. Badana grupa to uczniowie klas trzecich Gimnazjum im. Jana Pawła II w Mroczy. Celem, jaki przyświecał podjęciu tego tematu było zbadanie, w jakim stopniu uczestnictwo w zajęciach wychowania fizycznego wpływa na ogólny rozwój młodego człowieka w określonym wieku szkolnym oraz określenie stosunku nastolatków do podejmowania aktywności fizycznej. W przypadku uczniów klas trzecich gimnazjum – a założyć można, że problem dotyczy także pozostałych poziomów nauczania – duża część uczniów rezygnuje z czynnego udziału w lekcjach wf, najczęściej z błahych powodów. Nakłada się to na okres dojrzewania, a więc trudny czas dla uczniów pod względem zmian zachodzących w ich psychice. To także trudny czas dla rodziców i wychowawców, wymagający od nich znacznej uwagi i zrozumienia źródeł zachowań młodych ludzi. Wychowanie fizyczne bez wątpienia ma ogromne znaczenie w ogólnym procesie wychowawczym. Dlatego ważne jest, by na poszczególnych szczeblach edukacji uczniowi nabyli pożądane nawyki w zakresie aktywności fizycznej i świadomości prozdrowotnej, gdyż w późniejszym życiu, w przypadku zaniedbań w tym obszarze, trudniej będzie je w sobie wzbudzić.Z przeprowadzonych analiz można wywnioskować, że młodzież ma w sobie potencjał fizyczny i intelektualny, by w dorosłym życiu być aktywnymi i zdrowymi ludźmi. Jednak warunkiem tego jest świadome kreowanie nawyków, które w przyszłości będą to warunkować. Słowa kluczowe: wychowanie fizyczne, aktywność fizyczna, kultura fizyczna, świadomość, edukacja, styl życia, zdrowie. AbstractThe theme of the work is the impact of participation in physical education classes on the process of building awareness of physical activity. The test group is a third grade students Gymnasium named John Paul II in Mrocza. The goal, which prevailed during the adoption of this theme was to examine the extent to which participation in the classes of physical education affects the overall development of a young man in a particular school and the determination of the ratio of teenagers to make physical activity.In the case of third-country students in grades Gymnasium – and you can bet that the problem also applies to the other levels of learning – a large part of students resigns from active participation in lessons of wf, the most trivial of reasons. Imposes on puberty, so a tough time for students in terms of changes in their psyche. It's also a difficult time for parents and educators, requires them to substantial attention and understanding the sources of the behavior of young people. Physical education no doubt is of the utmost importance in the overall educational process. Therefore, it is important that the various levels of education the student in terms of physical activity habits desirable bought and awareness of preventive treatment, because later on in life, in the case of neglect in this area, it will be harder in itself arouse.From the analysis it can be concluded that young people have the potential physical and intellectual, to adulthood to be active and healthy people. However, this condition is conscious of creating habits that in the future it will be condition. Keywords: physical education, physical activity, physical culture, consciousness, education, lifestyle, health

Signs binding at indoor pools as a system supporting the safety and hygiene of water recreational and sport activity

                The aim of the research was to determine the level and nature of risks occurring in the sign zone of indoor pools relating to required safety rules. The research was conducted at 29 facilities located in ten provinces. The method of qualitative field research was applied. It was found that at more than half of the examined indoor pools (51.7%) the A-8 prohibitory sign “jumping into water is prohibited” had the graphic form that was inconsistent with the binding provisions. The information signs: C-2 – “dangerous depth of water” and C-3 – “sudden drop” occurred only at 27.6% of examined facilities. Within the scope of non-legal signs – communicators it was found that there is no uniform manner of providing information. The symbols used is very diverse which causes chaos in the form of various markings. In order to improve the safety of persons using the indoor pools, activities aiming at developing and introducing uniform models of markings should be undertaken, which constitutes a necessary condition of full participation in modern physical culture

Male students physique in accordance with Heath- Carter method

Students from Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, on their first year of Physical Education course have in the studies program, summer training camp. During such camp in June 2016, chosen anthropometric parameters were collected on a group of male students. The main goal of that research was the assessment of somatic body building in accordance with the method found and proposed by Barbara Heath and Lindsay Carter. All measurements were taken using Swiss anthropometric tools, from Siber Hegner & Co. Ltd (Switzerland. All measurements were taken by the same investigator, applying standard anthropometric methods according to the procedure of the International Biological Programme. The insightful received results analysis has shown, that the average fat tissue content in the group of researched men was 10,15%, considering body mass. On the other hand, somatotypes were lower than average values (endomorphy as fatness- 2,49, mezomorphy as body massiveness- 4,66 and ectomorphy as slimness- 2,71. The biggest relations between investigated features were observed with body mass, the lowest in turn- with body height. The regression for endomorphy and other features indicates the main independent variable is Rohrer’s index and body mass index. The analysis of regression for mezmorphy and other features the main independent variable is body mass index (other independent variables do not show statistical importance). The analysis of regression for ectomorphs indicates that the main independent variable is body height

Correlations between the somatic parameters and motor skills of 17-19-year-old boys from the Kujawsko-Pomorskie voivodeship

Abstract Introduction and purpose of the study: Physical activity is the key element of a healthy lifestyle. It is hard to associate it only with meeting the biological needs (Osiński, 1996). As hypokinesis is growing with age, it is becoming the cause of regress observed in physical fitness and efficiency of young generations (Woynarowska, 2008). The purpose of the study was to illustrate the condition of somatic development and motor skills in 17-19-year-old boys from the rural and urban areas of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie voivodeship. The correlations between the studied somatic characteristics and motor skills considering the age of respondents were identified using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Material and methods: The study involved 1,147 boys aged 17-19 years from the areas of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie voivodeship in 2015. The research was diagnostic and cross-sectional (transversal) in nature. The somatic parameters (body height and weight) were calculated in accordance with the guidelines adopted in anthropology whereas motor skills by means of MTSF. The correlations between the studied measurable parameters were identified by estimating the Pearson linear correlation coefficient. The study results were shown in the tabular and descriptive form. Results: The study revealed linear correlations between the somatic parameters and some motor skills in all age groups of boys (17-19 years). Conclusions: In order to establish the strategic directions for the changes concerning the condition of physical fitness, a detailed diagnosis of the current state is required that will help the school work of physical education teachers who can control different elements of biological development of their students in a better and more efficient way

Possibilities of novel technologies application for purposes of tourism of people with special needs

This article aims at investigating the extent to which the available opportunities are being exploited, including current and potential possibilities of novel technologies application for purposes of tourism of people with special needs. The research methods used were: logical-compartmental analysis and observation. Main results of analysis: Development of the knowledge-based economy, studies in it, and implementation of their results in practice, bring many untapped opportunities, including wider application of e-tourism in meeting requirements and needs of disabled people, elderly people or other groups, which have rarely been taken into consideration as separate groups within economic analyses. Practical implications: There is a need for working out novel business models, including the area of e-tourism for people with special needs, which will take into consideration national requirements and domestic possibilities

CHARACTERISTICS OF BODY POSTURE IN THE SAGITTAL PLANE AND FITNESS OF FIRST-FORM PUPILS FROM RURAL AREAS

Purpose: to find correlations between characteristics of body posture in the sagittal plane and fitness and endurance of first-form children from rural areas. Material: an analysis of more than 30 sources of scientific and educational literature. Results: the study involved 209 children, including 102 girls and 107 boys. They were children who lived in the country since they were born. To assess particular characteristics of body posture, the children were studied by means of the measuring equipment using the projection Moiré system. Motor skills were estimated using selected EUROFIT physical fitness tests (sitting forward bend, standing broad jump, handgrip, sit-and-reach, bent arm hang and 10 x 5 m shuttle run). The level of physical endurance was evaluated with the Harvard Step Test modified by Montoye. Conclusions: the conducted research reveals statistically significant correlations between the characteristics of body posture in the sagittal plane and selected EUROFIT physical fitness tests and physical endurance of the children involved in the study

Somatic characteristics and motor capacity of 10-year swimming pools from Basic School no. 60 in Bydgoszcz

The aim of the study was to determine the state of somatic traits and motor abilities of ten-year-old pupils from Primary School No. 60 in Bydgoszcz. Two groups of children were tested - swimming and non-swimmers. There were five attempts from the International Physical Fitness Test to assess motor skills such as strength, agility, speed, abdominal strength, flexibility. Body height, body weight, BMI, Rohrer parameters were used to evaluate somatic features. The total number of students was 54 students, 34 boys, 20 girls. Each of the students performed five fitness tests. The research hypothesis is that children who practice swimming will show better physical fitness than children who do not practice swimming and that the two groups will not differ in terms of somatic traits

Health Behavior of People Over 60 and Their Dependence on Socio-Economic Factors

Health behaviour are human actions which directly or indirectly influence our health. The elderly are a group of people who should especially take care of their health. Taking up this issue is justified by the rising life expectancy of the society and the related increasing costs of social care. Considering the current situation, it seems required to provide the older generation with education in the field of health promotion and health behaviour. The study involved 689 individuals over 60 years of age from Poland. A diagnostic survey was applied in the research. A survey technique was used including the Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI) and own questionnaire. Elderly people have more health behaviour associated with prophylactic measures and a positive mental attitude, but least related to eating habits. Women, people over 75 years of age and better educated people with good financial standing adopt significantly more health behaviour. The subject concerning health behaviour of elderly people needs to be further explored and completed. This study may contribute to better quality of life in elderly population

Doping and supplementation applied in Bydgoszcz gyms

The aim of the study is to determine what kind of doping and what kind of supplements are in use by those exercising in gyms in Bydgoszcz.The study was conducted among people practicing in gyms in Bydgoszcz. Method that was used was a diagnostic survey.Based on research it can be concluded that the anabolic androgenic steroids are the most commonly used doping. It can be also conclude that a significant proportion of respondents is using creatine to improve the appearance of the figure, which affects the quality of training. Almost all respondents claim that supplementation is a phenomenon commonly occured
