    Aktywność fizyczna uczniów w opinii nauczycieli wychowania fizycznego bialskich szkół ponadpodstawowych / Physical activity of students in the opinion of physical education teachers from secondary schools in Biała Podlaska
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-03-02) Korpak, Filip Łukasz ; Baj-Korpak, Joanna
    W dobie konsumpcjonizmu podejmowanie aktywności fizycznej (AF) wydaje się dla wielu osób przeżytkiem, tymczasem jest koniecznością. „Nowy”, aktywny tryb życia wymaga wielu wyrzeczeń i zmian dotychczasowych przyzwyczajeń. Stąd tak ważne jest wykształcenie w młodych ludziach potrzeby aktywnego spędzania wolnego czasu, potrzeby podejmowania systematycznych codziennych wysiłków fizycznych. Jednym z propagatorów aktywności fizycznej wydaje się być nauczyciel wychowania fizycznego, który powinien stanowić dla ucznia konstruktywny wzorzec osobowościowy. Celem pracy było poznanie opinii nauczycieli wychowania fizycznego pracujących w bialskich szkołach ponadpodstawowych na temat aktywności fizycznej ich uczniów. Materiał i metody. Badania przeprowadzono metodą sondażu diagnostycznego z wykorzystaniem autorskiego kwestionariusza ankiety. Wyniki. Zapytano nauczycieli o aspekty, na które ich zdaniem pozytywnie wpływa aktywność fizyczna podejmowana przez uczniów. Analizie poddano również motywy i bariery podejmowania przez młodzież AF. Wnioski. Ankietowani uważają, że uczniowie charakteryzują się średnim poziomem sprawności fizycznej. Główną barierą podejmowania przez młodzież AF okazał się brak chęci, zaś głównym czynnikiem motywującym-dbałość o kondycję fizyczną.

    Back pain as a factor of disability in women over 50 from Biała Podlaska and the surrounding areas
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-12-20) Pocztarska-Głos, Agata ; Sidor, Mirosława ; Gawlik, Krystyna ; Begier, Barbara ; Stępień, Ewa ; Baj-Korpak, Joanna ; Szepeluk, Adam
    Background. Chronic back pain is one of the most common causes of disability. It is a civilisation disease and up to 75% of women over the age of 55 suffer from it. The aim of this study was to assess the degree of disability and limitations in the daily functioning of women with lumbar spine pain depending on socio-demographic factors. Material and methods. T he s tudy included a group of 274 professionally active women aged between 50 and 64 who come from Biała Podlaska, Poland, and the surrounding areas and who completed the Oswestry Disability Index. The responses showed functional limitations of the respondents during performing specific activities due to back pain. The respondents were characterised with regard to their age, place of residence, education and material status. The results were analysed statistically. Results. The most numerous group included women with moderate disability – 41.6%. Lower back pain intensifies when sitting, standing, walking, lifting objects and applies mainly to women from the oldest age group, women having secondary and lower education, women from the city and those whose financial situation is below the average. Conclusions. A sociodemographic factor that differentiates the degree of the women’s disability in a significant way is their material status – the better the financial situation, the less severe the disability. Sociodemographic factors – such as age, education and material status – are strong determinants of functional limitations caused by back pain: women from the oldest age group (60-64 years old) had the biggest problem with walking; women with secondary or lower education experienced difficulty sitting and walking; women whose financial situation is below the average suffered much more difficulties while lifting objects, sitting and socialising.

    Mental barriers to reduce vulnerability to injury during a fall: an elementary issue of personal safety in a global civilization
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-10-18) Gąsienica-Walczak, Bartłomiej ; Kalina, Artur ; Litwiniuk, Artur ; Baj-Korpak, Joanna
    The effects of unintentional human falls are seen as a serious public health problem. The cognitive aim of the study was to argue, based on evidence, that radical progress in preventing the consequences of unintentional falls is possible as long as mental barriers are broken down among actors with the potential competence to make changes from the micro to macro scale. Aa a method, a narrative review was used of publications documenting the achievements of the experts of the “Polish School of Safe Falling” regarding the mental aspects of the widespread implementation of methods to reduce the phenomenon of vulnerability to injuries during falls throughout the entire ontogeny. Participants in the main pedagogical experiments declared that: teaching safe fall techniques made sense for both healthy and high-risk individuals (95% of physiotherapy students’ responses); all amputees and 83% of patients with visual impairment were convinced that teaching safe fall techniques in high-risk fall groups made sense; one response from a patient with visual impairment (16%) was “I don’t know”, and none of the respondents denied the advisability of teaching safe fall techniques. The child’s natural ability to protect their hands and head during an unintentional fall begins to be lost by the age of three. Therefore, learning how to fall safely is the surest of ways to reduce the number of people who would spend the rest of their lives in disability as a result of injuries sustained in a fall.

    Physical activity and mental health of students from Poland and Belarus in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: reflections on the purpose of a research project
    (Akademia Bialska Nauk Stosowanych im. Jana Pawła II, 2022-06-30) Baj-Korpak, Joanna ; Zaworski, Kamil ; Shpakou, Andrei ; Szymczuk, Ewa
    Knowledge of the medical-psychological and socio-cultural determinants of physical activity (PA) and mental health is still unsatisfactory. A dominance of diagnostic over explanatory studies and a focus on the association of PA and mental health status with unmodified demographic variables characterizes most research in this area. The aim of the proposed project is to determine PA levels and psychological adaptation to stress among students from Poland and Belarus in the context of different anti-pandemic strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. John Paul II University of Applied Sciences in Biala Podlaska (Poland) and Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno (Belarus) were chosen for the study, as despite the universities being located a relatively small distance from each other, they are in different countries and subject to different anti-pandemic strategies. The proposed survey will include approximately 800 medical and health sciences students (approximately 400 from each university). Nine standardized survey instruments will be used: IPAQ-SF, MBI, SWLS, CECS, GSES, Mini-COPE, STAI, TSK, and GHQ-28. The outcome of the research will be the identification of the medical-psychological and socio-cultural determinants that influence psychological adaptation and PA levels of students experiencing different anti-pandemic strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The physical activity level declared by students from Belarus
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-04-06) Baj-Korpak, Joanna ; Shpakou, Andrei ; Szepeluk, Adam
    Background. Numerous connections of physical activity with biological indicators and various diseases justify its place in the multifaceted theory of health, thus making it a health measure. The aim of the study was to learn about the physical activity declared by students at Belarusian universities – to determine its level and dominant areas. Material and methods. 739 people studying in Brest, Minsk, and Grodno (Belarus) were surveyed with the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Results. The total physical activity of the surveyed students amounted to 4840.5 metabolic equivalent of task (MET) min/week (median), which proves their significant involvement in the broadly understood physical culture. The dominant area of their physical activity proved to be work-related effort (median=1700.6 MET-min/week), while the lowest activity of the respondents was related to sport and recreation. The surveyed men showed higher MET-min/week rates in total physical activity and its components compared with women except for housework. In each of the analyzed variables (gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), self-assessment of physical fitness, and declared amount of spare time), there were statistically significant differences in the physical activity level of the surveyed students. Conclusions. The surveyed men proved to be more active than women in all domains of physical activity except for housework. Respondents with a BMI indicating overweight were more active than those with a normal BMI or those who were underweight. High self-esteem and declaration of lacking spare time are associated with high values of the MET-min/week index.

    Physical activity patterns among high school and university students in the V4 countries: a comparative study
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-11-04) Ács, Pongrác ; Niźnikowska, Ewelina ; Stelmach, Marian Jan ; Weiner, Marcin ; Makai, Alexandra ; Prémusz, Viktória ; Junger, Ján ; Salonna, Ferdinand ; Šafaříková, Iva ; Kuchařová, Věra Logan ; Baj-Korpak, Joanna
    Insufficient levels of physical activity are a significant contributor to chronic noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Recommendations from the World Health Organization include both general guidelines and activity recommendations specific to age, pregnancy, disease, and disability to help maintain good health and fitness. Assessing physical activity levels, as well as researching its correlates and determinants, is essential for understanding why people are physically active or inactive. This, in turn, contributes to evidencebased planning of public health interventions.
