The monograph focuses on hardening through the aquatic environment, with a focus on recreationally hardening individuals. In the publication, we describe individual structures and processes in the human body that interact with the aquatic environment (how the organism tolerates different environmental temperatures, heat production and transport in the human body, fatty tissue, biorhythm, and others). We also discuss reactions and ways of adapting the human body to cold stimuli. For beginners, we provide recommended methodologies for starting water hardening. The conclusion of the publication focuses on the effects of cold exposure and its various variations with their impact when used in sports activities.

This monograph aimed to determine the level of awareness and meeting of recommendations regarding the implementation of physical activity in selected chronic disease risk groups in eastern Slovakia. We were also interested in the role of physicians and healthcare staff in terms of recommending physical activity during the patients´ treatment and meeting these recommendations by the patients.

The presented cross-sectional study, conducted on selected chronic disease patients, found that most patients are aware of the importance of physical activity in the treatment of their conditions. We also found that almost half of the patients obtained only general information on the importance of PA. One-third of the patients was provided very detailed information. The majority of the patients in this study had sufficient information on the minimum requirements for PA - frequency, duration, intensity and were familiar with effective physical exercises in the prevention and treatment of their conditions.

These results underline the importance of education and awareness of a healthy lifestyle, inherently including physical activity, not only for the healthy population, but also for  people at risk of such diseases that do not prevent them from performing physical activity.

In Košice, there are several universities whose students and graduates have the potential to develop themselves and their social environment. Although the current prevalence of overweight and obesity in this part of the Slovak population is not high, early prevention can influence its increased occurrence in higher age categories.

The university provides sufficient space and time for this prevention. It offers the opportunity to explore factors that play a crucial role in weight gain among university students and to propose forms of interventions for creating a healthy lifestyle. One such form was a program focusing on body weight modification, which we introduced into the physical education curriculum for students of various faculties at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, even after the grant project ended.

University textbooks focus on selected basic knowledge about the environment. They are centered on summarizing and cross-sectional characteristics, serving as a foundation for deepening knowledge within lectures or seminars on the given topic.

The textbooks are intended for first-year students of the "Sports and Recreation" study program at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University, as well as for anyone interested in expanding their environmental knowledge. In the prepared educational texts, "Environmental Risks, Their Impact, and Consequences on Population Health," we address topics such as environmental risks, their influence, and possible consequences on population health, which undoubtedly belong to environmental issues and care.

The list of literature in the textbooks provides more detailed information for those with a deeper interest in environmental issues.
