The study attempted to analyse the concept of spectators’ motives at mixed martial arts (MMA) events in Poland. In addition, we investigated the relation between motives and sports media consumption. The sample consisted of 273 people attending three similar, regional MMA events. Exploratory factor analysis was used to refine the structure of motives. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a reasonable fit of the obtained model (RMSEA = 0.41). Using ANOVA we found three significant differences in assessment of motives, based on gender. The factor of aesthetics and knowledge was ranked the highest for men and women. Men rated drama and violence, while women perceived socializing and crowd experience, and drama, as the following factors. Path analysis indicated that these motives explained 56% of variance in media consumption for men and 57% for women. The findings showed that the motive of vicarious achievement was the main predictor of media consumption for men, while aesthetics and knowledge were the key predictors for women. The results and ideas for further research are discussed.

The aim of this study was to identify clusters based on four energy – balance related behaviours (EBRBs) – moderatevigorous physical activity, screen time, breakfast consumption and sweet drinks consumption – among adolescents participating in a governmental programme to increase their sport participation. The study was a part of the monitoring and evaluation process of a nationwide sport intervention in Poland. The sample consisted of 367 participants (180 females and 187 males, mean age 15.18 ±1.67). Data was self-reported. Based on combination of cluster analysis, a five-cluster solution was found the most suitable. Some patterns of EBRBs were similar to the results obtained in previous studies conducted on the general population on, for example “sedentarysnacking” or “all-round-healthy” clusters. The amount of the clusters which accumulated most of the negative or positive behaviours were small, and most clusters presented a mix of behavioural patterns influencing energy balance in both positive and negative ways. The structure of the clusters differed based on adolescents’ gender and, for male participants, fathers’ education (p < 0.05).
