Wstęp: Jednym z celów reformy programowej było urozmaicenie szkolnego wychowania fizycznego i dostosowanie go do zainteresowań uczniów. W dzisiejszych czasach obserwuje się niepokojące zjawisko zmniejszającej się aktywności fizycznej młodzieży zarówno na zajęciach lekcyjnych, jak i pozalekcyjnych a szkolne oferty wyboru ulubionej dyscypliny sportowej przegrywają z ofertami pozaszkolnymi, dlatego poszukiwanie skutecznych rozwiązań było nie tylko potrzebą, a i koniecznością. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono w 2013 roku wśród 74 nauczycieli uczących w gimnazjum i szkołach ponadgimnazjalnych. W badaniach zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego z wykorzystaniem ankiety. Obliczono średnią arytmetyczną wyników oraz istotność różnic testem zgodności chi–kwadrat (x^2). Wyniki: W większości przypadków oceny kobiet i mężczyzn były bardzo podobne. Z analizy danych wynika, że najwyższe oceny przydatności i wykonalności uzyskały treści bloków tematycznych: „Sporty całego życia i wypoczynek” oraz „Sport”. Gry sportowe od wielu lat są najbardziej pożądaną treścią lekcji wychowania fizycznego przez uczniów i jak wskazują uzyskane wyniki przeprowadzonych badań, również nauczycieli tego przedmiotu. Wnioski: Wyniki badań wskazują, że ankietowani nauczyciele wychowania fizycznego pozytywnie oceniają treści podstawy programowej wdrożonej w 2009 roku. Badani nauczyciele znacznie wyżej ocenili przydatność treści zawartych w podstawie programowej niż ich wykonalność.

Introduction: One of the objectives of the core curriculum reform was to diversify school physical education and to adapt it to the interests of students. Nowadays, there is an alarming decline in physical activity among young people, both in school and non-school classes, and the school offers to choose a favorite sport discipline lose with out-of-school offers. Searching for effective solutions was a necessity. Methods: The research was conducted in 2013 among 74 junior high and high school teachers. The method of a diagnostic survey using a questionnaire was used. The arithmetic mean of the results was calculated. A chi-square goodness of fit test (x^2) was performed to determine the significance of differences. Results: In most cases, the assessments of men and women were very similar. The data show that the highest ratings of suitability and feasibility were obtained by the thematic blocks: "Sports of all life and leisure" and "Sport". For many years, sports games have been the most desirable content of physical education lessons by students and, as shown by the results of the conducted research, also physical education teachers. Conclusions: The obtained results indicates that physical education teachers positively assess the content of the core curriculum implemented in 2009. The surveyed teachers assessed the usefulness of the core curriculum content much better than its feasibility.

Intoduction: The aim of the thesis was to research the influence of level and frequency of the taken activity on health related somatic features of middle-aged and elderly women. Materials and methods: The research was carried out among 80 women aged 46-81, who were auditors of the Universities of the Third Age in Katowice and Chorzów. The analysis of body composition has been made with the method of bioelectrical impedance analysis, using the Inbody 720 device. As health related somatic features, the following parameters have been found: (BMI- kg/m2) - body mass index, (BFMI- kg/m2) - body fat mass index, (FFMI- kg/m2) - fat-free mass index, (WHR) - waist-hip ratio and (VFA-cm2) visceral fat area. The level and intensity of physical activity have been measured with the use ActiGraph GT1M device. The differences between average variables analyzed have been compared with the use of an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the level of p <0,05 have been taken as statistically significant. Results: The research show that 60% of women achieved the recommended limit of 10000 steps a day, but the results of the most active group which performed on the average above 12500 steps were the closest to the correct body composition indexes (BFMI - 8,71 kg/m2, VFA - 116,94 cm2). The differences between average variables of BMI, BMFI, VFA, WHR of women who achieved and did not achieve the minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity with the intensity of 3-6 MET at least 5 times a week were not statistically significant and the results in both groups exceeded the scope of norms. Physical activity defined by the amount of days a week (≤2, 3-4, ≥5), when the women exceeded 10000 steps a day has statistically significantly differentiated all the variables describing the level of body adiposity and the results approach to the scope of norms. Conclusions: The level of the physical activity defined by the number of steps performed (<7500, 7500-9999, 10000-12500, >12500), statistically significantly differentiates all health related somatic features (BMI, BFMI, FFMI, VFA, WHR) of the women. Frequency of the physical activity has statistically significantly differentiated all the variables describing the level of body adiposity (BMI, BFMI, VFA, WHR). Monitoring the amount of the steps performed with the use of motion sensors can be an effective tool of control and evaluation of physical activity.
