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.

University textbooks include, expand and deepen knowledge in the field of management and marketing. Considering the development of the needs of continuous education and adaptation to changes in cooperation with the provision of effective integration and use of management and marketing in sports industries, this issue is highly topical. Inserting modern trends into university teaching texts creates their "otherness", they are a prerequisite for better understanding, knowledge and the contribution of not only theoretical knowledge, but also significantly contribute to practice itself. The publication is a useful source of information not only for bachelor's students at the Institute of Physical Education and Sport of the UPJŠ, but also for students of interdisciplinary study fields and specializations.

Monografická práca akcentuje zdravotnú dimenziu pohybových aktivít. Formuluje a syntetizuje východiská prozdravotného kontextu aktivít pri rešpektovaní mnohostranných interakcií činiteľov a determinantov zdravia. V rámci indikovanej oblasti smeruje k špecifikácií a zosieťovaniu empirických, odborných a výskumných prístupov tak, aby boli kompatibilné s holistickým vnímaním zdravia. Zdravotná dimenzia pohybových aktivít je prezentovaná prostredníctvom zodpovedajúcej syntézy vedomostí, princípov, koncepcií integrujúcich medicínske, biologické, psycho-sociálne, pedagogické a ďalšie prístupy a poznatky smerujúce k vyváženému formovaniu kognitívnej, afektívnej a psychomotorickej stránky osobnosti. Zdôrazňuje a zdôvodňuje pozíciu cieľavedomých a primeraných pohybových aktivít ako nezastupiteľných činiteľov osobnostnej kultivácie a kvality života.

Knowledge of the way of life of our ancestors confirms that in the formation and development of the body, during the whole phylogeny, has physical activity a dominant position. Researches have shown that even in childhood, movement is not only a tool of prevention, but often also a method of dealing with the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. From different areas of social life are recorded, as a consequence of this this sedentary life, the vertebrogenic disorders related to hyperkinesia, hyperlordosis and scoliosis which are accompanied by pain and often mean the exclusion of a child from school physical education.

The monograph is a summary of the findings of muscle disbalance and a need to help children and teenagers to have influence to the quality on the correct body holding by preventive exercises that have been verified in practice. It serves as a teaching material to fulfill physical and sports education goals, which emphasize, among other things, the formation and consolidation of habits of proper body holding and compensatory and relaxation exercises.

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.

(Vybrané kapitoly pre uchádzačov o štúdium v študijnom programe Šport a rekreácia na Ústave telesnej výchovy a športu UPJŠ v Košiciach)

Trend v Európskej únii, susedných štátoch, ale aj v širšom medzinárodnom kontexte je podpora športu pre všetkých, pohybovej prevencie a služieb v oblasti pohybovej rekreácie. Táto oblasť zaznamenáva expandujúci progres v oblasti vzdelávania, služieb i výskumu s cieľom zlepšenia kvality života obyvateľstva. Na Slovensku v porovnaní so susednými krajinami ešte stále nedostatočne reaguje trh služieb, vzdelávania i riadenia komunálnej sféry na túto oblasť a preto podmienky pre realizáciu nie sú na požadovanej úrovni a mnohokrát brzdia rozvoj.

Študijný program Šport a rekreácia predstavuje progresívny smer v oblasti vzdelávania, pripravuje odborníkov na úrovni bakalárskeho štúdia pre oblasť voľnočasových centier (organizácia, riadenie, vedenie programov) a športových klubov v rámci telovýchovných a záujmových organizácií.

Predložená publikácia je určená pre uchádzačov o štúdium v študijnom programe Šport a rekreácia na Ústave telesnej výchovy Univerzity Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach. Sú v nej zahrnuté základné požiadavky a odporúčaná literatúra pre nadobudnutie vedomostí pre oblasť rekreačného športu, ktoré sa vyžadujú na prijímacích skúškach na uvedenej vysokej škole.

The aim of work is to broaden knowledge about selected lifestyle factors and subjective health problems of first-year university students at the two largest universities of Eastern Slovakia in the reflection of their sporting activity. We have analyzed questions about their eating habits, the quantity and quality of sleep, selected risk factors of behaviour - alcohol and smoking, and subjectively reported health. The weekly frequency of their sporting activity was considered to be indicative in order to emphasize the importance and necessity of regular physical activity in relation to selected factors of their lifestyle and health. The set of cross-sectional research consisted of 1055 first-year female university students. The research was part of grant project VEGA 1/1343/12 "Selected Risk Factors of Obesity and Physical Prevention". Collection of empirical data was facilitated by the means of a questionnaire compiled for the needs of the above VEGA grant project. For the needs of our study, we used a battery of questions about sporting activity, health condition and selected lifestyle aspects of the respondents. The results assess relationship between the examined lifestyle variables and sporting activity. Positive relation with sport activity was confirmed in the daily frequency of meals, the distribution of total food intake throughout the day and the presence of breakfast in daily regime. Negative relation has been proved between higher frequencies of sporting activity and fatigue after morning wake-up.

Although not all variables indicated relevant correlation with sporting activity, it is desirable to continue monitoring and analyzing various lifestyle factors of university students, especially in their first year of study. University attendance represents the final stage of formal education that allows for shaping healthy life habits. Potential intervention during the study involves, among others, influencing the health of undergraduates, their healthier lifestyle and prevention of many health problems at a later stage of life.
