In our modern times in all walks of life the possibilities for expanding human activities is a widely discussed issue. It is especially valid in extreme sports where the line between the death and life is very thin. The price paid by such extreme performers poses a question about the ethical aspect of their spectacular performances and their motivation behind them. Thus the question about the responsibility for their own lives and particularly about the lives of the others is put forward.

Sporty ekstremalne od wielu lat zyskują coraz większą rzeszę zwolenników. Media i marketing z nimi związany sprawia, że zainteresowanie nimi stale rośnie. Przekłada się ono na stale rosnącą liczbę nowych sportów ekstremalnych, często będących modyfikacją już istniejącej dyscypliny sportowej. Celem artykułu i przeprowadzonych badań było poznanie głównych motywów i czynników wpływających na wybór dyscyplin ekstremalnych. Ponadto przeprowadzone badanie miało na celu poznanie barier osób wybierających te sporty. Podjęto próbę udowodnienia, że osoby wybierające dyscypliny ekstremalne nie zdają sobie sprawy z niebezpieczeństwa wynikającego z ich uprawiana, a chęć zaimponowania innym przysłania owo niebezpieczeństwo.

Extreme sports have been gaining more and more followers for many years. Media and marketing with them makes interest in them constantly growing. It translates into a constantly growing number of new extreme sports, often being a modification of the already existing sports discipline. The aim of the article and research was to learn the main motives and factors affecting the selection of extreme disciplines. In addition, the study was aimed at understanding the barriers of people choosing these sports. An attempt was made to prove that people choosing extreme disciplines do not realize the danger resulting from their cultivation, and the desire to impress others obscures this danger.

The paper gives moral evaluation of feats done by extreme athletes who participate voluntarily in life-threatening stunts or races. The evaluation of the rightness of such extreme feats was based on the first principles of natural law. The law of nature obliges everybody to preserve their lives and forbids acts against one’s own life (do not kill yourself). Extreme athletes differ from others in terms of the attitude to the ontological structure of existence: from negation and mockery of life in the case of nihilists to a praise of life in the case of athletes and goes even further in the case of Olympic athletes who embrace the pro-life civilization through their participation in the peace utopia. In this paper, the author justified the sporting premise for mountaineers to do extreme climbing. In the conclusion, the author admits that extreme feats of mountaineers is justified because these athletes, like Olympic ones, follow sports ethics and at the same time the moral value of existence. Although they consciously risk their lives, when they actually face death they do not give up and fight heroically to survive. This attitude is sufficient to evaluate the mountaineer’s performance which is on the verge of death as morally right.

The history of Polish Himalayan mountaineering, i.e. all ascended summits, new routes and records, is extremely rich and fascinating. It is impossible to describe all of this on just a few pages, which is why the aim of my paper is to describe the most outstanding expeditions, those that completely changed our thinking about Himalayan mountaineering and showed that we can deceive not only our bodies but also our subconscious. The first attempts to ascend an eight-thousander were made as early as in the 1920s; unfortunately, they all failed. Owing to the harsh conditions in the mountains, the first successful ascent of an eight-thousander did not take place until 1950, when Annapurna was ascended. The first Polish expedition was organised in 1939. Unfortunately, the Second World War and the political situation in Poland prevented Polish climbers from making further attempts for many years. The political situation in the country made it impossible for Poles to travel abroad. But Himalayan mountaineering at the time was developing very rapidly. The Poles, hungry for success, wanted to go down in history. Given the fact that all eight-thousanders had already been ascended, the Poles began a new chapter — winter Himalayan mountaineering, challenging Edmund Hillary’s assertion that in winter no form of life had a chance to survive over 7000 metres above sea level. In my paper I focus on presenting the most remarkable achievements. I describe the Golden Age of Polish Himalayan mountaineering, like the first winter ascent of Everest or Krzysztof Wielicki’s extraordinary one-day ascent of Broad Peak. There is also room for expeditions featuring Jerzy Kukuczka, an icon of Himalayan mountaineering. Climbing two eight-thousanders in one winter season and establishing a new route on K2 are still unbeaten feats. A part of my paper is devoted to women. The first all-female expeditions headed by Wanda Rutkiewicz were also a Polish domain. The number of great achievements in the mountains are truly numerous. Each of them in described in the paper, as is the death of the greatest Himalayan climbers, which led to a crisis and revisions. The paper ends with a fragment concerning an attempt to revive Polish Himalayan mountaineering.

A varied and well balanced diet is an important factor in maintaining health and optimization of the exercise capacity of athletes. The nutritional behaviors of players depend on various factors, including their sports level. Evaluation of nutritional behaviors of athletes playing volleyball, depending on the na-ture of practicing sports (recreational vs. competitive). The material and methods: The research was carried out in a group of 200 volleyball players (100 professionals and 100 amateurs) using the proprietary dietary behavior questionnaire. Statis-tical analyzes were performed using the Chi-square independence test from the PQStat ver. 1.6 package. The volleyball players strictly implemented the recommendations regarding eating at least 3 meals a day (95.5%), including cereal products in each main meal (83.0%) and preferring mineral water for rehydration (82.0%). In the smallest percentage, volleyball players declared dai-ly consumption of at least 2 servings of milk and/or the dairy products (36.5%) plus 2–3 servings of vegetables (26.0%), as well as limiting the consumption of animal fats (26.5%). Assessment of nutritional behaviors depending on the sports level showed that the competitive volleyball players in a significantly higher percentage declared regular meals (p < 0.01) and the consumption of the most caloric meal after training (p < 0.01). In addition, competitive athletes significantly more of-ten properly rehydrated themselves during their training sessions (p < 0.01), they included carbo-hydrate products in each meal (p < 0.01) and limited the consumption of sugary and salty snacks (p < 0.01), fast food products (p < 0.01) and energy drinks (p < 0.05). In fact, they also consumed 1–2 portions of fruit (p < 0.05) and 2–3 portions of vegetables (p < 0.01) and vegetable fats (p < 0.01) more often every day. In turn, amateur volleyball players in a significantly higher per-centage preferred mineral water and other unsweetened drinks for rehydration (p < 0.01). The role of practicing sport (competitive vs. amateur) has been demonstrated in relation to some of the nutritional behaviors of athletes practicing volleyball.

Różnorodna i zbilansowana dieta stanowi istotny czynnik utrzymania zdrowia i opty-malizacji zdolności wysiłkowych sportowców. Zachowania żywieniowe zawodników są uzależ-nione od różnych czynników, w tym od poziomu sportowego. Ocena zachowań żywieniowych sportowców trenujących piłkę siatkową w zależności od charakteru uprawiania sportu (amatorsko vs wyczynowo). Badania przeprowadzono w grupie 200 siatkarzy (100 wyczynowych i 100 amatorów) z zastosowaniem autorskiego kwestionariusza zachowań żywieniowych. Analizy statystyczne przeprowadzono za pomocą testu niezależności chi-kwadrat z pakietu PQStat ver.1.6.Siatkarze w najwyższym stopniu realizowali zalecenia dotyczące spożywania przynajmniej 3 posiłków dziennie (95,5%), uwzględniania produktów zbożowych w każdym posiłku głównym (83,0%) i preferowania wody mineralnej do nawadniania (82,0%). W najmniejszym od-setku siatkarze deklarowali codzienne spożywanie przynajmniej 2 porcji mleka i/lub produktów mlecznych (36,5%) oraz 2–3 porcji warzyw (26,0%), a także ograniczanie spożywania tłuszczów zwierzęcych (26,5%). Ocena zachowań żywieniowych w zależności od poziomu sportowego wy-kazała, że siatkarze wyczynowi w istotnie większym odsetku deklarowali regularne spożywanie posiłków (p < 0,01) i spożywanie najbardziej kalorycznego posiłku po treningu (p < 0,01). Ponadto sportowcy wyczynowi istotnie częściej prawidłowo nawadniali się w czasie treningu (p < 0,01), uwzględniali produkty węglowodanowe w każdym posiłku (p < 0,01) oraz ograniczali spożywanie słodkich i słonych przekąsek (p < 0,01), produktów fast food (p < 0,01) i napojów energetyzujących (p < 0,05). Istotnie częściej także codziennie spożywali 1–2 porcje owoców (p < 0,05) i 2–3 porcje warzyw (p < 0,01) oraz tłuszcze roślinne (p < 0,01). Z kolei siatkarze amatorzy w istotnie większym odsetku preferowali wodę mineralną i inne napoje niesłodzone do nawadniania się (p < 0,01). Wykazano znaczenie charakteru uprawiania sportu (wyczynowy vs amatorski) w odniesieniu do niektórych zachowań żywieniowych sportowców trenujących piłkę siatkową.
