Współczesne postrzeganie różnych typów flamenco jest znacząco zróżnicowane. Ta rozbieżność widoczna jest wśród miłośników flamenco, wykonawców i w postawach akademickich. Autorka analizuje niektóre z różnic, które powtarzają się w dyskusjach naukowych dotyczących flamenco. Rozważa rolę omawianego gatunku w debatach etnicznych i jego miejsce w kulturze hiszpańskiej. Zwraca również uwagę na antagonizm między tradycyjnym i współczesnym lub „czystym” i komercyjnym pokazem flamenco. Dyskusje te są częścią – jak wyjaśnia to choreografka Michelle Heffner Hayes (2009: 4) – „sprzecznych narracji o historii flamenco” i przyczyniają się do złożonego i wieloaspektowego obrazu tej formy sztuki.

Contemporary vantage points on various types of flamenco differ vastly. This disparity is visible among flamenco aficionados, performers and while analyzing academic attitudes. The paper explores some of the recurring discrepancies in the scholarly flamenco disputes. It dwellson the role of the discussed genre in ethnic debates and its place in Spanish culture. The article also looks at the antagonism between traditional and contemporary or “pure” and commercial display of flamenco. These discussions are part of – as a dance scholar Michelle Heffner Hayes (2009: 4) phrases it – “conflicting narratives of flamenco’s history” and contribute to a complex and multifaceted image of this art form.

Background. The cognitive objective of the present paper was to diagnose and compare the level of body lateralization in girls and boys with mild intellectual disability in the area of functional asymmetry of selected motor abilities. The practical objective was to verify the possibilities of using the functional asymmetry test in body lateralization diagnosis in intellectually disabled adolescents. Material and methods. The study covered a group of 44 individuals in total, that is boys (22 persons) and girls (22 persons) aged 15–16 years. To assess the functional asymmetry the Koszczyc–Sekita test developed at the University School of Physical Education in Wrocław was used. Results. The tests enabled the authors to formulate the following general conclusion: the lateral diversity of 1) upper and lower limb velocity and 2) strength of lower extremities in the investigated girls and boys with mild intellectual disability is statistically insignificant. Only the strength of the upper limbs has a significant level of functional asymmetry. The lowest level of asymmetry occurs in strength of the lower limbs. Conclusion. The investigation is the next step in diagnosing the state of lateralization in children and adolescents with intellectual disability. This is an issue which has been poorly studied though it is essential to be effective in such activities as learning and teaching. For the above reasons the diagnosis in this developmental area should become one of the most important elements of the teachers’ work.

Background. Participation in physical culture is particularly important for the rehabilitation process of persons with impairment as it has beneficial effects on physical and mental health. The objective of the study was to investigate the level of physical activity of adults with visual impairment. Material and methods. A group of 70 persons (35 women and 35 men) aged 51–64 years with moderate visual impairment and holders of a certificate of visual impairment participated in the study. A method of diagnostic poll was used for the purposes of the investigation. The research tool was the survey based on the HHS (Health and human Services) Physical Activity Guidelines for Adults. Results. Physical activities taken up by women were mostly housework and brisk walks, whereas men preferred walks. The majority of subjects, both men and women, self-reported that they undertake physical activity in the form of recreation movement [exercises] twice a week for two hours and that this physical exercise is at a low or medium level. The majority of female respondents takes part in physical activity of particularly high intensity twice a week and the majority of men just once a week. Conclusions. Considering the research conducted by other authors on physical activity of persons with visual impairment and its relationship to health, it may be concluded that subjects with visual dysfunction are sufficiently physically active in order to maintain good health.

Introduction. The European Union strategy for sustainable development is a multidimensional approach to policy making. It assures a coherent development of all areas of social life, including public health, education and physical culture. It is implemented globally through projects developed and co-financed by the EU. In local terms each Member State is responsible for organizational and economic aspects of these projects and consists primarily in adapting its operation to general EU standards. The aim of the study was to determine the environmental diversity of recreational physical activity among lower secondary school students, which allows an indirect insight into sustainable rural and urban development of the south-west of Poland in the analyzed aspects of social life. Material and methods. A diagnostic survey with the use of questionnaires was applied to collect factual material. The research tool was a standardized survey questionnaire developed as part of the research problem financed from the grant in the Czech Republic. A group of secondary school students, 3500 girls and boys from rural and urban environment, from the south-west of Poland participated in the study. Results. Quantitative structures of organized and spontaneous physical activity are highly diversified in the subjects’ environment. Almost twice as many young people takes up spontaneous exercise as those involved in organized activities. Living environment does not diversify general physical activity among female subjects. Boys who engage in organized exercise are nearly twice as many as those taking up spontaneous physical activity. Living environment is determining only in the case of boys participating in organized activities; the percentage is significantly higher in the rural environment. Conclusion. The study confirmed a sustainable development in the studied environments. There is certain diversity in the collected data, yet it reflects the specific character of rural and urban environments, not a developmental disproportion.

Background. The objective of the paper was to determine attitudes represented by students of the following fields of study: Physical Education and Physiotherapy at the University School of Physical Education in Wrocław towards people with intellectual disabilities. Material and methods. The respondents (N = 167) completed a modified (the notion: a disabled person/invalid and a handicapped person was replaced by one term: a person with intellectual disabilities) version of Scale of Attitudes towards the Handicapped by A.E. Sękowski. The obtained results have undergone a two-way ANOVA statistical analysis based on the following design: gender (female vs. male) × field of study (Physical Education vs. Physiotherapy) × attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities. Results and conclusions. The obtained results indicate that more positive attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities are shown by students of Physiotherapy than those studying Physical Education. The post hoc comparison of means in the statistically insignificant two-way interaction of students’ genders and their field of study indicates that the effect observed previously is caused by less favorable attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities shown by female students of Physical Education than by the rest of subjects.
