In the University School of Physical Education in Warsaw the project entitled: “The Project of National Center for Research on Physical Fitness” (NCBKF) is being realized. The idea of this project comes from the long-standing tradition of national-level, population-based studies on physical development and fitness of children and adolescents, carried out by the Warsaw-based school. As a result of the studies, rich research material was gathered pertaining to the physical fitness of students in Polish schools. The project realization began in 2009, its basic functionality is expected to be achieved in 2012, whereas full functionality in 2015. The project called “Check yourself” has already been launched. This is a joint action of the University School of Physical Education in our country for the purpose of enabling auto-diagnosis in physical fitness of the largest possible number of members of Polish society. The authors of the project are convinced that realization of the NCBKF mission will result in health improvement of children, adolescents and adults and their more effective functioning in the contemporary world.

Introduction. During P.E. classes primary school students (grade 4) ought to improve their level of physical fitness, including coordinative motor abilities, as well as to acquire motor skills which enable them to take part in various forms of physical activity in an active and safe way. Unfortunately, in physical education of children and young people the main emphasis is still placed on the improvement of fitness abilities. We have to bear in mind, however, that the level of coordinative abilities limits significantly the improvement of necessary fitness abilities and vice versa. Our research was aimed at determining what dependencies exist between the results of selected coordinative motor abilities and ten-year-old children’ results of the tests designed by the International Committee for the Standardization of Physical Fitness Tests. Material and methods. The research group consisted of 93 students of primary schools in the town of Wołów. In order to determine the level of the particular components of physical fitness we employed the trials of the International Committee for the Standardization of Physical Fitness Tests (ICSPFT). For assessing the particular coordinative abilities we used the following tests: ‘run for the balls’, ‘stopping the rolling ball’, ‘long standing jump with 50% of maximum possibilities’, ‘long standing jump forward and backward’. Results. According to research findings there is a relationship between the improvement of the selected coordinative motor abilities and some of the components of physical fitness. Conclusions. Therefore, a physical education teacher are advised caution in choosing physical exercises and games, taking into consideration comprehensive motor development of students, including their coordinative motor abilities.

Background. The main aim of this paper is the assessment of differentiation of somatic body build and physical fitness of men with respect to the military speciality. Material and methods. The material was gathered in view of examinations of men who had completed twelve-month Officers’ College at the Tadeusz Kościuszko Land Forces Military Academy in Wrocław in the years 2006–2010. The research included anthropometric measurements, motor trials and a survey. Body height and body mass were measured. Moreover, body mass index and Rohrer index were calculated. The following functional traits were measured: run endurance, relative strength, trunk muscle strength, explosive strength of lower extremities, speed-running agility. In addition, maximal anaerobic work was calculated. Results and conclusions. The military training did not comprise the element which differentiated somatic body build of examined men. However, this training turned out to be the factor which differentiated the level of the majority of functional features. Only the level of a relative strength was similar in all divisional groups in terms of the military speciality.

The aim of this pilot study was to determine (a) the effects of high intensity strength training in the workplace on blood pressure, fat percentage and physical fitness in overweight adults, and (b) the influence of this intervention on the blood pressure in a subsample of hypertensive subjects. Overweight adults (n=15) aged 42.8 years underwent anthropometric assessment (weight, fat percentage, waist circumference, and triceps skinfold), physical fitness assessment (leg extensor power, upper body endurance, hand grip strength and Vo2max) and blood pressure assessment before and after 8 weeks of high intensity resistance training in the workplace. Each training session consisted of 16 sets of 45 repetitions performed at 1 repetition per second, decreasing load at the point of muscular failure starting at 60% of repetition maximum (RM). The effects of the intervention were analyzed by paired sample t-tests. For exploratory purposes, a non-parametric test was also performed (Wilcoxon matched-pair signed-rank) to examine if this decision could affect the results. Weight, body fat percentage, and triceps skinfold decreased significantly with the high intensity resistance training protocol in the workplace (all P<0.05). Performance in physical fitness tests increased significantly with training (all P<0.05), except for handgrip strength. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly with R-HIRT in the workplace (all P <0.05) in hypertensive subjects (n=10). This protocol performed in the workplace in this pilot study produces health and fitness benefits in overweight and hypertensive people.

The aim of this study is to see if there are significant relationships between different variables of physical condition and academic performance. Most literature shows that a relationship does exist, mainly emphasizing maximal oxygen consumption and academic performance. With regard to the other variables, more differences can be found. A total of 79 students participated in the study from the island of Majorca (Spain), ranging in age from 12.5 to 14.5 years. Students passed fitness tests, which were compared with their academic results. The results show a significant positive relationship between BMI and hand grip strength and significant negative relationships between BMI and note and between BMI and maximal oxygen consumption. No significant relationships have been found, however, between maximal oxygen consumption and note. Assessment of the importance of physical condition and therefore physical education in academic performance is of interest in order to implement the necessary hours of Physical Education. Furthermore, this subject should be characterised further in terms of its relation to the issue of health.

Acquiring competences in the area of physical culture depends on the intention of physical activity, as well as on the level of physical fitness. It is important to learn the factors determining physical fitness; therefore the purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between the stages of readiness for regular physical activity and the level of physical fitness of children from Poland and Turkey. The research included pupils aged 14 living in the Raciborz area in Poland and in the area of the city of Balikesir in Turkey. Readiness for regular physical activity was assessed using a special algorithm in accordance with the concept of the transtheoretical model (TM). In this research the interpretation of TM was accepted for the assessment of intentional behavior. To determine the level of physical fitness, the European Fitness Test - Eurofit was used. Statistical analyses showed statistically significant differences. Of the 8 tests carried out, in six - a larger level was obtained by respondents from Poland and in five of them these were statistically significant differences. In 2 of the tests carried out, the young people from Turkey reached an average higher level. The correlation coefficient between the stages of readiness to undertake physical activity and physical fitness tests was calculated to achieve the main objective. The vast majority were low dependencies. On the basis of the conducted research, it was found that the studied group of Polish youth was characterized by a higher level of physical fitness than their peers in Turkey. There was no significant relationship between the stages of readiness to undertake physical activity and the results of fitness tests. The need for further research was concluded.

This study examined relationships between the components of physical fitness and athletic performance in youth pole-vaulters in a secondary school setting. Twenty-five adolescents of both genders, between the ages of 15 and 18, participated in the study. This case study was grounded on qualitative and quantitative approaches of data analysis, measuring physical abilities self-assessment based on the questionnaire developed by Borg et al. [11] and measuring high-performance effect linking age and gender with the levels of the pole vault performance. The results indicate that, overall, the six dimensions of fitness (coordination, strength, flexibility, speed, endurance, and body self-image) are correlated with physical fitness (r varies between 0.29 and 0.65, p<0.05). The significance is very high in teenage boys for perceived strength and perceived endurance respectively (r=0.61, p <0.001 and r=0.65, p<0.001), whereas in teenage girls global physical fitness is highly correlated with endurance (r=0.63, p<0.001). Moreover, while endurance and flexibility have become a determinant of performance in the girl group in the perceived physical fitness category, strength and perceived speed are the most important components in the boy group. An effect of age was only considered for strength, endurance and perceived fitness. No effect of body self-image on pole vault performance was identified, with non-significant correlation in the two genders, girls and boys respectively (r=0.11, r=0.16). The significant role of physical fitness levels in determining motor exercise performance in adolescence may have further implications for gender roles and talent prospecting as well as potential physical condition benefits for exploring new sports.

Objectives: The objective of the present study was to analyze the body composition and physical fitness of 10- to 11-year-old football players, analyzing the differences in physical fitness according to Body Mass Index (BMI) and percentage of fat mass (% FM), as well as the correlations between body composition and physical fitness. Methods: Twenty-eight male 10- to 11-year-old football players participated in the study, with an age range of 10 to 11 years (average age 10.39 years ± 0.49). The players performed the tests in abnormal training day. The variables assessed were: Body composition (Tanita BC 418-MA), blood pressure and heart rate (Visomat Comfort 20/40 arm blood pressure monitor), jump test (Abalakov jump on Optojump platform) and aerobic capacity test (Course Navette Test 20m, CN). The software used to perform the statistical analysis was SPSS Statistics 23.0. Findings: The analyses showed significant differences in maximal oxygen consumption (VO?max), BMI and % FM when comparing by age. With regard to BMI, significant differences were found in diastolic and systolic blodd pressure at rest (DBP and SBP), and, according to % FM, in rest DBP. The significant correlations between physical fitness and body composition according to BMI were negative in the variables of CN stage, CN distance, CN FSR (final speed reached), VO?max, and was positive in SBP and DBP. According to % FM, the significant correlations were negative in CN stage, CN distance, CN FSR, VO?max., and Abalakov jump (ABKJ), and they were positive in SBP and DBP. Conclusions: It is recommended to carry out intervention programs with the aim of improving the body composition of football players at school age, because this will have positive effects on their aerobic capacity, jumping and blood pressure.

The main aim of the article is an attempt to determine the importance of a targeted form of physical activity, i.e. Pilates, on psychomotor functions in women who practice this method. It seems important to search for appropriate, socially recognized values which promote health and are conducive to a health-oriented lifestyle, especially among women in middle adulthood. The study was based on a natural experiment involving 40 middle-aged women who participated in Pilates classes from the beginning of October 2013 to the end of September 2014. The one-year Pilates programme was found to have a significant impact on improving the participants’ health awareness. The study indicates an improvement in elements of physical fitness, especially in the first (known as enthusiastic) stage of participation (from October 2013 to April 2014). Over the course of the year, significant differences were found in the measurements of all the selected elements of physical fitness. The greatest progress was recorded in body flexibility. It can be concluded that targeted exercises improve physical fitness, particularly body flexibility, contribute to reducing low back pain, thereby improving the quality of life.

Objectives The aim of the study was to assess health status of regular and part-time mines rescue brigadesmen. Material and Methods A group of 685 mines rescue brigadesmen was examined within the preventive testing – a basic internal, biochemistry and anthropometric examination, physical fitness testing. Results The average age of the subjects was 41.96±7.18 years, the average exposure in mining was 20±8.1 years, out of that 11.95±7.85 years as mines rescue brigadesmen. Elevated levels of total serum cholesterol (T-CH) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-CH) were found in over 1/2 of the subjects. Systolic hypertension (systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 mm Hg) was confirmed in 34%, overweight (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25) in 62.3% and obesity (BMI ≥ 30) in 20.4% of the examined mines rescue brigadesmen. The metabolic syndrome was found in 15.2% of persons. The highest physical fitness was found in mines rescue brigadesmen and the lowest in mine officers. Limit values of maximum oxygen uptake ($\text{VO}_\text{2 max}$/kg) determined by the management of the mine rescue station were not reached by every 3rd of all mines rescue brigadesmen. Compared with the control group of the Czech and Slovak population, the rescuers are taller, have greater BMI, higher percentage of body fat in all age categories and proportionally to that they achieve a higher maximum minute oxygen uptake; however, in relative values per kg of body weight their physical fitness is practically the same as that of the controls. Conclusions The prevalence of risk factors of cardiovascular diseases and $\text{VO}_\text{2 max}$/kg in the group of the mines rescue brigadesmen is comparable with that in the general untrained Czech population.

An increasing number of people with intellectual disabilities (ID) are characterized by an excess of body weight. The impact of overweight and obesity on motor skills in this population is ambiguous. The study aimed to review the impact of overweight and obesity on the physical fitness of adults with intellectual disabilities. The study covered 128 people with ID: 70 women (W) and 58 men (M); 62 people with moderate intellectual disabilities and 66 people with severe intellectual disabilities. The following measurements were taken: body mass (BM), body height (BH), and waist circumference (WC). BMI was calculated. The physical fitness level was assessed with the Eurofit Special test. Obesity and overweight were found in 37% and 24% of W and 39% and 22% of M respectively; in 40% and 17% of people with moderate ID and 36% and 28% of people with severe ID respectively. Significant negative correlations between speed and BMI and WC, and between core muscle strength and WC were found in women. In men, negative correlations were found: between core muscle strength and BM, BMI, and WC; between flexibility and BM, BMI, and WC; between lower extremity muscle strength and BMI and WC; and between balance and BMI. Further, obese men had significantly lower scores compared to the normal weight sample in the following tests: balance (T1), lower extremity muscle strength (T2), speed (T4), and core muscle strength (T6). The study showed a relationship between obesity and scores in physical fitness tests. More relationships were found in men than women and in people with severe ID than moderate ID.

The problem of physical fitness in the 21st century society is, on the one hand, the result of the last century negligence, and on the other, a natural result of a deepening regression of pro-health education among young people. Such a situation negatively affects both the health and physical condition of society, which indirectly also affects the level of state security. Physical fitness is an indispensable condition for the effective functioning of all services in this sector, especially uniformed formations such as the armed forces, the police, and many others in their areas of responsibility. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to change the society’s habits, but it is possible to develop new habits among young people by focusing on pro-health education, i.e., education and upbringing in the spirit of responsibility for their own health and physical fitness. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to show the essence of the problem of young people’s pro-health education in the context of the fitness level decline in the 21st century society, and how these issues can be discussed in the face of contemporary threats. The paper also includes references to the issue of education and health promotion strategy among young people in order to identify the causes of the decline in society’s fitness level. The issues addressed were studied using theoretical research methods, i.e., analysis, synthesis, abstraction, explanation, generalisation, and inference.

Modern sports training system is characterized by progressive principles, a wide range of interrelated tasks, evidence-based selection tools and techniques, promising years of planning, control high organization, providing hygienic conditions. Physical training rightfully occupies a leading place in the training of qualified athletes. One of the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of the training process is the control of physical fitness of athletes. Physical training plays a major role in shaping motor skills of hockey players and a low level of physical fitness limits their ability to effectively mastering the technical and tactical arsenal. In the modern theory and practice a hockey problem of physical training is underdeveloped, as evidenced by the lack of scientifically based recommendations on the design and process control of physical training, the dynamics of the physical properties at different stages of the annual training cycle and the appropriate use of special tools and techniques. Until recently developing and improving training of qualified athletes has been associated mainly with an increase in the volume of training and competitive pressures, increasing their intensity. In recent years a centralized preparation tendency to decline such loads is dominated. This fact requires further study of theoretical and methodological foundations of sports training in order to intensify the training process and the search for new sustainable integrated tools and methods of preparation. The results of the study of physical fitness of highly-qualified hockey players in different periods of the annual training cycle using a variety of educational tests to determine the physical state at the appropriate stage of preparation and correction of training process are shown in the article. The study has revealed the dynamics of functional and physical fitness of highly-qualified hockey players during annual training cycle, allowing you to identify problematic stages of planning tools and methods of physical training. This pedagogical control according to the level of physical fitness reveals a number of problems that require not only the theoretical analysis and experimental verification. The analysis of the problems of physical training of qualified athletes has shown that physical fitness is an important link in the overall structure of training and significant impact on the training side and primarily on competitive activity, enhancing or limiting its effectiveness.

Physical fitness is related to the general condition of the whole human body, not only its locomotor apparatus. Fitness determines the actual ability to perform all motor activities that decide about man's vigor. It results from the beneficial and detrimental influence of ordinary physical activity and is related to health. The authors evaluated diversification of health-related fitness in adult men in relation to their age and physical activity in leisure time. The study involved 841 men aged 20-59. It evaluated selected morphological, muscle, motor, and circulatory-respiratory components of health-related fitness (H-RF). The participants were classified into fo-ur age groups: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59; and into three groups regarding physical activity in leisure time, characterized by: high, medium, and low physical activity. It was observed that higher physical activity in men in leisure time is linked to higher and preferable values of various health-related components of physical fitness. Physical activity in leisure time, similarly to age, is a factor that highly diversifies physical fitness in men. The study results reveal unequivocally that since hypokinesis (occurring from an early age) is a feature typical of the contemporary life, health benefits of physical activity in leisure time, in individual and social aspects, are undeniable.

Sprawność fizyczna wiąże się ze stanem całego organizmu człowieka, a nie tylko z jego aparatem ruchu. Oznacza aktualną możliwość wykonywania wszelkich działań motorycznych, decydujących o zaradności człowieka w życiu. Jest efektem korzystnego i niekorzystnego wpływu zwykłej aktywności fizycznej, wykazując związek z poziomem stanu zdrowia. W pracy dokonano oceny zróżnicowania sprawności fizycznej w ujęciu zdrowia dorosłych mężczyzn w odniesieniu do wieku i ich aktywności fizycznej w czasie wolnym. Badaniami objęto 841 mężczyzn w wieku 20-59 lat, u których dokonano oceny wybranych komponentów morfologicznych, mięśniowych, motorycznych i krążeniowo-oddechowych spraw¬ności fizycznej w ujęciu zdrowia (H-RF). Wyróżniono cztery grupy wiekowe: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 i 50-59 lat, a w zakresie aktywności fizycznej w czasie wolnym trzy grupy: charakteryzujących się dużą, średnią i małą aktywnością fizyczną. Zaobserwowano, że wyższa aktywność fizyczna mężczyzn w czasie wolnym wiąże się z wyższymi i bardziej pożądanymi wartościami różnych komponentów sprawności fizycznej w ujęciu zdrowia. Aktywność fizyczna w czasie wolnym okazała się, podobnie jak wiek, czynnikiem silnie różnicującym sprawność fizyczną mężczyzn. Wyniki tych badań wskazują jednoznacznie na korzyści zdrowotne aktywności fizycznej w czasie wolnym zarówno w wymiarze jednostkowym, jak i społecznym, gdyż cechą współczesnego życia jest hipokinezja, występująca już od najwcześniejszych lat życia.

Prezentowane opracowanie ma na celu określenie motywacji oraz sprawności fizycznej kobiet uczęszczających na zajęcia aerobowe. W tym celu zankietowano 60 kobiet w przedziale wiekowym 20-60 lat regularnie uczęszczających na zajęcia. Pytania zadane respondentkom dotyczyły głównie określenia postaw wobec aktywności ruchowej, świadomości prozdrowotnej podejmowanych działań oraz samooceny jej wyników, która przekłada się bezpośrednio na motywację. Warto podkreślić, że coraz więcej kobiet w średnim wieku podejmuje aktywność ruchową. Jest to tym bardziej cenne, że dla większości ankietowanych głównym powodem podejmowania zajęć ruchowych jest potrzeba ruchu, co wskazuje na rosnącą świadomość społeczną prozdrowotnych aspektów sprawności fizycznej. Zdecydowana większość (75%) badanych kobiet deklarowała zadowolenie z zajęć ruchowych. Wszystkie ankietowane polecałyby tę formę zajęć, wysoko oceniając własną sprawność fizyczną.

The following study aims to define the motivation and physical fitness of women attending aerobics classes. For this reason 60 women ranging from 20 to 60 years of age, regularly attending the classes were polled. The questions asked to the respondents concerned mainly defining their attitudes towards physical fitness, pro-health consciousness of the undertaken activities and self-assessment of their results, which translated directly into motivation. It is worth stressing the fact that increasingly more middle-aged women are undertaking physical activities. It is even more valuable due to the act that the main reason to undertake physical activities is the need of movement for the majority of the polled, which testifies to the growing social consciousness of the pro-health aspects of physical fitness. The definite majority (75%) of women being polled declared satisfaction with physical classes. All the polled women would recommend this form of activities, assessing their own physical fitness very well.

The ability to function independently is crucial for successful aging, while an age through the development of involutional changes and risk of comorbidity promotes functional limitations. On average, 20% of people over 70 years of age need help in at least one of the 6 basic activities of daily living. The ability to cope in everyday life is affected by the reduction of physical fitness, sensory impairment and the effects of chronic conditions, falls and injuries. Deterioration of physical fitness is a consequence of muscle mass and strength reduction, impaired neuromuscular function resulted in slowing nerve conduction and reaction time, deterioration of balance, coordination and central transmission. Vision and hearing disorders are a consequence of aging and diseases. Cognition impairment, important for an independence, may be a consequence of degenerative changes in the CNS or dementia.

It was hypothesized that playfulness in adults relates positively to different indicators of subjective but also physical well-being. A sample of 255 adults completed subjective measures of playfulness along with self-ratings for different facets of well-being and the endorsement to enjoyable activities. Adult playfulness demonstrated robust positive relations with life satisfaction and an inclination to enjoyable activities and an active way of life. There were also minor positive relations with physical fitness. Leading an active way of life partially mediated the relation between playfulness and life satisfaction. The study provides further evidence on the contribution of adult playfulness to different aspects of well-being.
