Ageing is an irreversible process and it is now widely accepted that we can purposefully affect a number of factors that influence ageing process and slow it down. We can attenuate the speed of this process by appropriate physical activity. Physical activity elements plays a key role in the primary and secondary prevention of the ageing population, in the treatment of various diseases and in eliminating their risk factors. Lecture notes provide information and recommendations for implementing exercise programs (EP) designed for seniors who are currently engaged in, or planning to engage in, physical activity (PA). At the same time, we aim to contribute to expanding knowledge in this field and to support the improvement of PA quality for individuals aged 60 and above. In the first part of the teaching materials, we describe the period of old age, its somatic characteristics, and the motor and functional capacities of seniors. We address the diagnostics of somatic traits, as well as motor and functional abilities, the benefits of physical activity in older age, and finally the principles and recommendations for designing exercise programs for seniors. In the following sections, we present implemented exercise programs for seniors and describe exercises that can help maintain or improve their physical abilities. The priority of this publication is to offer effective and safe exercises that promote health and physical activity. The content of the publication is supplemented with photographs and tables that enhance its practical applicability for students and instructors when designing exercise programs for seniors.

The textbook "Principles of Writing the Final Thesis" is primarily designed for students in the 3rd grade but with the possibility for use in lower grades. The structure of the textbook corresponds with the process of writing final theses.  The first chapter summarizes the fundamental laws and guidelines for writing and defending the final thesis. Chapters 2 - 8 present information regarding the topic selection, research problem formulation, theoretical analysis, aims, and research methodology. The ninth chapter describes how to process and analyse the results, and the tenth chapter contains instructions on processing the final part of the thesis.

Zverejnená publikácia bola pôvodne publikovaná v tlačenej verzii. Toto je rukopis tlačenej publikáciu, ktorú dali k dispozícii sami autori.

V publikaci se snažíme seniory oslovovat jako klienty, přitom klientem se v jistém smyslu stáváme na různých postech i my sami. V jednotlivých kapitolách jsou připojena psychomotorická cvičení pro rozvoj koordinace, rovnováhy, spolupráce a radosti z pohybu. Každá část cvičení je zpracovaná pro mobilní klienty, potom pro imobilní klienty a ta je rozdělena na sedící seniory a na ležící seniory. Řadu nabízených cvičení lze využívat pro všechny skupiny seniorů, vždy záleží na schopnosti sociálního pracovníka převést nabízenou pohybovou aktivitu pro konkrétního seniora s respektováním všech jeho individuálních zvláštností. Doporučujeme využívat zejména pozitivní přístupy a vždy respektovat aktuální stav seniora. Všechny popsané aktivity lze libovolně doplňovat, měnit a využívat podle denní potřeby každého klienta individuálně. Toto cestou bychom chtěli poděkovat za spolupráci při tvorbě knihy paní Evě Marcinkové a paní Libuši Pospíšilové.

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.
