    Evaluation of health benefits of peripheral resistance training based on energy expenditure in women aged 25-35 years
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-02-26) Rozpara, Michał ; Nowak, Ewa ; Nawrocka, Agnieszka ; Polechoński, Jacek ; Dębska, Małgorzata ; Mynarski, Władysław
    Background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential health benefits of peripheral strength training in women according to the ACSM protocol. Material and methods. This study involved 90 women aged 29.2±3.3 years, who performed three sets of 10 resistance exercises repeated 10-15 times with a 60% load of 1RM. Energy expenditure (EE) during the exercises was measured with the Caltrac Monitor accelerometer. Their intensity (relative EE) was expressed in kcal/min. Results were compared to the recommended volume of daily physical activity according to the proposals of Paffenbarter and colleagues. Effort of at least moderate intensity (5.5-7.4 kcal/min) was considered to be beneficial for health. Results. The average EE of the entire training was 293 kcal, resistance exercises 2 30 kcal and the average intensity effort was 7.3 kcal/min. It was shown that peripheral resistance training, according to the ACSM Protocol, allowed all examined women to fulfil pro-health recommendations for the volume and intensity of daily physical activity (in terms of absolute and relative energy expenditure). Conclusions. Peripheral resistance training in accordance with ACSM protocol can be recommended to women aged 25-35 as a form of implementation of pro-health recommendations in the scope of due daily energy expenditure on physical effort, as well as its intensity

    Factors influencing level of physical activity among female students from the Visegrad countries
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-01-14) Niźnikowska, Ewelina ; Bergier, Józef ; Bergier, Barbara ; Ăcs, Pongrăc ; Junger, Jăn ; Salonna, Ferdinand
    Background. Our study aims to illustrate the diversity in levels of physical activity among female students from the Visegrad countries (V4), in four domains: job-related activity, transportation physical activity, housework, house maintenance, and caring for family, as well as recreation, sport, and leisure-time physical activity. These domains were correlated with factors including: BMI, field of study, physical fitness self-assessment and amount of leisure time. Material and methods. In total 1,169 female students from V4 countries: the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland were involved in the study. In terms of conducting the study, the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire IPAQ, was utilised. Results. Female students from the V4 countries were characterized by moderate (47.5%) and high (43.7%) levels of physical activity, and the WHO recommendations on health-related quality of life were fulfilled in more than 80% of the respondents. Conclusions. Analysis showed statistically significant differences in BMI, where underweight students (59.3%) demonstrated a moderate level of physical activity. The physical fitness selfassessment of female students from the V4 countries shows significant differences in their level of physical activity in all analysed areas and indicates that field of study as well as their amount of leisure time do not notably affect their level of physical activity.

    Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) – the Polish version
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-01-28) Bergier, Józef ; Wasilewska, Małgorzata ; Szepeluk, Adam
    The increasingly appreciated role of physical activity in societies concerned about their health requires proper assessment. The main tools for measuring the level of physical activity comprise some relevant questionnaires, among which the best known in the foreign literature is Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). However, this questionnaire is not yet available in the Polish language version. The following article presents one such attempt that has taken into account the Polish conditions and lifestyle following the guidelines of the GPAQ Guide, which meets the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). The source text was translated into Polish and then a reverse translation was made involving four steps.

    School-based physical activity and good practices in Europe
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-01-14) Nash Castro, Lea Samanta ; Svastisalee, Chalida Mae ; Mendes, Romeu ; Fontaine, Olivier ; Breda, João
    Background. Despite the known benefits of physical activity for children, inactivity levels remain high in Europe. Schools are considered ideal settings for promoting physical activity. Nonetheless, they often fail to achieve their full potential in increasing the levels of exercise among students. This study aimed to examine the current evidence regarding physical activity promotion in the European Union school context, and to understand how key scientific evidence and World Health Organization (WHO) guidance are used. Material and methods. Representatives of all 28 European Union Member States were asked to complete a survey to understand their national school-based physical activity practices. Results. Responses from 22 countries were received. Of all the initiatives, most included fostering of positive attitudes to physical activity or health, while a few incorporated genderbased considerations in their design. Lastly, intersectoral collaboration in the creation of the physical education curricula is yet to be fully integrated among European Union Member States. Conclusions. There is a substantial focus on physical activity promotion in schools across the European Union, although the school context could be utilized to a greater degree. In general, further efforts in this area are required in order to have a stronger positive effect on physical activity levels in European Union children.
