    Background. Regular physical activity allows maintenance of physical fitness at an optimal level and also contributes to greater care for other elements of a healthy lifestyle. The promotion of physical activity should be one of the tasks of health professionals, including physiotherapists. The aim of this study was to assess physical activity levels of physiotherapy students. Material and methods. This study involved 853 students (634 women and 219 men) of the Faculty of Physiotherapy of the Medical University of Warsaw (444 first-year students and 409 second-year students). The research tools were the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – short version (IPAQ-SF) and the author’s own survey to obtain information on the type of physical activity and reasons for taking it up or not.Results. Men had significantly higher levels of physical activity than women (p<0.001). The physical activity levels of second-year female students were higher than those of first-year female students (p=0.026). Among men, there was no significant difference between first and second-year students. Conclusions. More than half of those surveyed do not engage in any physical activity outside of curriculum activities. The results obtained in this study may form the basis for continuing research with the participation of various groups of subjects and using more advanced technologies and research tools.

    The effect of physical activity on pulmonary function in patients with pectus excavatum
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2020-11-24) Mikuľáková, Wioletta ; Kendrová, Lucia ; Kuželová, Stanislava ; Gajdoš, Miloslav ; Čuj, Jakub ; Mikuľák, Martin ; Peresta, Yuriy
    Background. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the level of physical activity on pulmonary function in patients with pectus excavatum. Material and methods. This study included 47 patients diagnosed with pectus excavatum, with a median age of 19 years (min. 17 years, max. 26 years). The degree of deformity was evaluated clinically by anthropometric measurement. Spirometry was used for the evaluation of pulmonary function. The demographic, clinical data, and experience of patients with sporting activity were examined using a questionnaire. The self-reported International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF) was used to determine physical activity levels. Results. With higher physical activity, there was statistically significant higher inspiratory vital capacity (IVC) (rho=0.628), forced vital capacity (FVCex) (rho=0.455), and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (rho=0.356). A statistically significant relationship was observed between deformity rate and spirometric parameters for FEV1 (p=0.011), maximal expiratory flow rate of 75% FVC (MEF75) (p<0.0001), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) (p<0.0001). Conclusions. Respiratory functions of patients with chest deformity are positively influenced by physical activity.
