What the eighteenth century brought about in Poland was an intensification of social prestige in such areas as science and education. These changes were mainly affected by the then-ruling King Stanislaw August, whose initiatives resulted in keeping active contacts with the artistic and scientific environments from other countries. Hundreds of translations of the most outstanding works by foreign authors began appearing in Poland and became highly popular. Based on an analysis of 17 works by Western European authors translated between 1740 and 1830, these Enlightenment texts penetrated Polish pedagogical theories and impacted the development of modern physical education. The texts reveal the role and importance of physical education as presented by European philosophers in Polish-language publications at the time, and chronicle those European countries from which the most significant information on intellectual trends in the field of modern physical education flowed into Poland.

Personal trainers present a multifaceted nature into physical activity and become their clients’ guides in achieving sporting goals. Physical trainers also work in sports clubs and supervise the training of people professionally involved in sport. Aim: Given the professional role that they play, this article aimed to analyze the knowledge and attitudes of personal trainers towards using prohibited measures to improve performance in sport, as well as counteraction measures. Methods: The study used a questionnaire created by the authors containing closed, semi-open, and open questions. Results: The results of the presented research indicate that most physical trainers and students educated in this field have a negative attitude towards the use of prohibited measures that increase performance but ...

Methods: Study participants included a group of elite Polish team members competing in international competitions (including Paralympics) in various sports. The research sample consisted of 100 individuals, including 67 men (67%) and 33 women (33%). The descriptive exploratory design used an instrument that combined a validated questionnaire (Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale; PEAS) with a special questionnaire adapted to athletes with disabilities. Results: The overall mean score from the PEAS scale (range, 11–66, with higher scores representing more permissive attitudes towards doping) was 20.61 ± 11.35, with 21.20 ± 10.96 in men, 19.39 ± 12.20 in women, 20.46 ± 10.92 in Paralympians and world championship participants (Masters), and 21.14 ± 13.16 in other competitors. For more than half (58%) of respondents, doping is uncommon in sports, and sports success can be achieved w...

The study involved 15 triathletes whose objective for the season was to start in the XTERRA POLAND 2017 event (1,500-m swimming, 36-km cycling, and 10-km mountain running). Before the 14-week preparatory period, the competitors' body composition was measured, aerobic capacity was tested (graded treadmill test) and blood samples were collected to determine markers showing the level of muscle and intestinal damage. Subsequent tests for body composition were carried out before and after the competition. Blood samples for biochemical indicators were collected the day before the competition, after the completed race, and 24 and 48 hours later. A significant decrease in body mass was observed after completing the race (-3.1±1.5%). The mean maximal oxygen uptake level among the studied athletes equalled 4.9±0.4 L�min-1 , 58.8±4.5 mL�kg-1 �min-1. The significant increase in concentrations of cortisol, c-reactive protein and myoglobin after the competition, significantly correlated with the significant increase in zonulin concentration

Some expectations of parents travelling with children are the same independent of the accommodation location. The purpose of this article is to examine at what level city hotels offer services and amenities within family tourism, how they meet parents’ expectations and whether they adapt offers to children of different ages. Two measurement tools were used for this study. The first one was the authors’ questionnaire addressed to hotel managers. A total of 88 hotels located in Krakow were selected for the study. The survey contained questions on the offers of hotels related to various services and amenities for families with children, which were assigned to one of three groups (24 items): general child-friendly hotel services and amenities, in-room amenities and restaurant amenities. In the second phase of the study, parents of children aged 0–10 years were asked to assess the degree t...

This era was a breakthrough in social, ideological, and political life. It was also an era of rediscovery and re-evaluation of antiquity, especially concerning physical culture. Enlightenment thought and knowledge from Western Europe, including that on antiquity and ancient physical culture, were also transferred to Poland, in various aspects of social and cultural life. Knowledge about ancient physical culture contained in Polish works that appeared in 1740–1830 demonstrates that it was similar to that in Enlightenment Europe. From the analysis provided in Enlightenment works depicting ancient physical culture, it is clear that knowledge about it was extensive. What is more, the knowledge of ancient physical culture in Greece and Rome that Polish thinkers had was much more comprehensive than has been believed. Despite social and ...

Z każdym rokiem przybywa nowych hoteli oferujących usługi upiększające i poprawiające samopoczucie. W Krakowie, jednym z najlepiej turystycznie rozwijających się miast europejskich, gdzie występuje nasilona konkurencja, hotele nie poprzestają na ofercie podstawowej, ale poszukują możliwości wyróżnienia się poprzez dodatkową usługę turystyczną, stwarzając nowe propozycje spędzania wolnego czasu. Jedną z nich, zgodną z ogólnoświatowym trendem dążenia do poprawy zdrowia, oferowaną przez krakowskie obiekty noclegowe, jest umożliwienie korzystania z zabiegów spa i wellness. Hotele oferujące tego typu usługi zwiększają obłożenie i szansę wyróżnienia się z bogatej infrastruktury turystycznej Krakowa. Celem opracowania jest diagnoza liczby krakowskich hoteli oferujących usługi spa i wellness na terenie miasta Krakowa w wybranych hotelach...

Her activity, energy and diligence inspired others. In her life, she was guided by the “Fair Play” rule. She was a valued professor and researcher. H. Zdebska-Biziewska showed that the essence of sport is not only its pragmatic side, but also the axiology associated with it, because the philosophical theory of values allows to perceive sport as a source and transmission of many values. H. Zdebska-Biziewska, as an open, friendly and respected person, was a valuable fi gure in the development of Polish Olympism and the Kraków UPE (the University of Physical Education in Kraków).

Przekształceniom ulega struktura osób podróżujących, jak też ich oczekiwania, potrzeby i motywacje. Turystyka, będąc jedną z najbardziej dynamicznie rozwijających się branż, aby prężnie się rozwijać, musi uwzględniać wszystkie nowe trendy i prawidłowości. W związku z widocznie zauważalnym starzeniem się społeczeństw, szczególnie w Europie, turystyka osób starszych, zwana również senioralną, jest tą, która ma duży potencjał rozwojowy. Szeroka grupa odbiorców to wiele możliwości zarówno dla miast, gmin, jak i dla poszczególnych przedsiębiorstw związanych z turystyką. Celem niniejszej pracy była analiza ofert obiektów noclegowych Krynicy-Zdroju – jednego z najstarszych polskich uzdrowisk – pod kątem programu przygotowanego specjalnie dla seniorów. Przebadano rodzaje ofert, pakiety zniżkowe, możliwości aktywności i spędzania wolnego czasu. Starano się znaleźć odpowiedzi na pyta...
