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.

(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.

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.

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.
