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.

Túto knihu sme napísali s cieľom podporiť rozšírenie hry ultimate frisbee na Slovensku. Tento šport zaznamenáva rýchlu expanziu v náraste nielen jej rekreačných fanúšikov, ale aj výkonnostných hráčov. Jeho popularita rastie z viacerých dôvodov. Je to atraktívna dynamická hra, ktorá je ľahko dostupná z hľadiska materiálneho vybavenia i priestorových podmienok. Aj keď sa javí ako šport mladých, určite ponúka športové vyžitie rôznym vekovým skupinám. Charakter hry je učebnicovým príkladom fair play správania.
V rámci športovania je známe, že ak okrem samotnej realizácie pridáme aj techniku danej športovej disciplíny, v našom prípade hry, rastie pocit dobrého zážitku. Takže naším ďalším cieľom bolo sprostredkovať základné poznatky o genéze ultimate frisbee, pravidlách, štruktúre športového výkonu i samotnej metodike nácviku vybraných herných činností. Vychádzali sme hlavne zo zahraničných publikácií ultimate frisbee a relevantných domácich prác, ktoré súvisia s tematikou. Najcennejším prínosom tejto monografie je pretavenie empírie z dlhoročnej praxe, vrátane reprezentačných a trénerských skúseností hlavného autora publikácie do nasledujúcich stránok. Týka sa to rozpracovania metodických postupov nácviku v športovom tréningovom procese. Určite je ešte mnoho poznatkov, ktoré patria k dokonalému osvojeniu hry ultimate frisbee. Zatiaľ sme sa snažili poskytnúť základy, ktoré umožnia hrať frisbee „športovo“ a s určitým „hráčskym štandardom“.
Ultimate frisbee poskytne nové rozmery športových zážitkov a súčasne sa môže stať dobrým doplnkom zdravého životného štýlu moderného človeka.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The presented educational text provides a comprehensive view of the emergence and development of physical culture, physical education, and sports both in our country and worldwide. Its content focuses on acquiring basic concepts and issues related to the history of physical culture.

The text is intended primarily for students of sports disciplines in full-time and external studies, as well as for the general public interested in the historical development of physical culture in our country and abroad. According to Sýkora (1992), physical culture has been a part of societal and personal culture since the dawn of humanity, encompassing all methods and results of enduring human activity aimed at shaping one's physical and motor attributes and abilities.

The first chapter focuses on the analysis of historical sources, their types, and methods for determining facts. In subsequent chapters, we present a chronological overview of the development of various historical periods from the earliest times of human existence to the present, with an emphasis on physical culture.

The final chapter characterizes physical culture in the independent era of Slovakia.

Starnutie populácie je proces typický pre krajiny Európskej únie. Otázky starnutia a postavenia seniorov v spoločnosti sa stávajú trvale aktuálnymi v rovine ekonomickej, psychologickej, etickej, kultúrnej, zdravotno-sociálnej, ale aj filozofickej. Ide tu o potrebu cieľavedome podporovať zdravie, ale aj zabezpečiť choré a závislé osoby, o potrebu zlepšiť ich zdravotný stav a možnosti fungovania v spoločnosti, o ponúknutie prozdravotných programov a o snahu predĺžiť ich aktívny vek.
Aktívny prístup k zdraviu, zdravotná kultúra a kompetencia sa v súčasnosti stávajú nielen celospoločenskou povinnosťou, ale predovšetkým povinnosťou individuálnou. V zmysle celospoločenskom ide o relevantné a erudované vytváranie podmienok pre optimálne pôsobenie determinantov zdravia a zdravého životného štýlu, v individuálnom zmysle o formovanie, stabilizáciu a následnú interiorizáciu zásad zdravého životného štýlu tak, aby reflektovali potenciál, skúsenosti, vek a možnosti jednotlivca. Platí, že určujúca pozícia individuálnej zodpovednosti a osobného správania primárne definuje potrebu cieľavedomej a intencionálnej podpory zdravia. Osobitne to platí u ľudí vo vyšších vekových kategóriách, kde pôsobí komplex intervenujúcich premenných, ktoré môžu významne podporiť alebo limitovať kvalitu života. V súčasnosti u seniorov narastá význam subjektívneho hodnotenia zdravia. Kvalita života sa dokonca považuje za vhodnejší indikátor zdravia ako morbidita a mortalita (Payne et al., 2005). Kvalita života seniorov teda závisí od rôznych faktorov, ako sú napr. fyzické zdravie, miera nezamestnanosti, psychické fungovanie v poznávaní, adaptácii a zvládaní od prevládajúceho emocionálneho prežívania, od prijímanej i poskytovanej psychickej opory, ako aj spirituality (Šímová, 2004, s.128). Adresnosť prozdravotných intervenčných opatrení tak môže a má signifikantne podporiť štruktúru a obsah životného štýlu seniorov, a tým aj kvalitu ich života.
Predložená vedecká monografia vznikla s cieľom integrovať širší kontext poznatkov, prístupov, odporúčaní s dôrazom na vybrané okruhy prozdravotného pôsobenia. Ide v nej o doloženie a zvýraznenie postavenia atribútov kvality života s dôrazom na cieľavedomé pohybové aktivity, o vysvetlenie a zdôvodnenie nezastupiteľnosti individuálneho „nastavenia,“ ktoré v rozhodujúcej miere determinuje proces celoživotnej starostlivosti a rešpektovania hodnoty zdravia, a tým kvality života.
