The aim of the research was to clarify if the attitude towards obligatory physical education classes differentiates psychical activity of primary school students in their free time. The method used in the research was a diagnostic survey, which included a shortened version of the HBSC questionnaire. 371 students (4th-6th graders) of primary school living in both urban and rural areas were questioned. Activities declared most often were: ball games, cycling, swimming, and running. Students who spent the biggest amount of time on outdoor activities were girls who eagerly participated in physical education lessons and boys who participated “although they didn’t really want to” or “because they had to”.

Tourism, especially adventure tourism, is the best form of physical activity, regardless of age, gender and wealth. It is one of the most important and most accessible forms of active recreation. Although socio-economic transformation in the early 1990s had a profound influence on the development of tourism in Poland, for some social groups tourism is still a luxury. The situation of rural women in this regard is particularly difficult. The aim of this study was to evaluate the tourist activity of rural women and find out its main determinants. To achieve these objectives, a survey was conducted among women living in the villages of Koszewo, Pęzino and Kunowo (district of Stargard Szczeciński, West Pomerania). The study showed the increased level of education of rural women and their improved standards of living, clearly reflected in the increased awareness of healthy leisure activities. Analysis of ways of spending vacations by women living in rural areas showed that it depended on their economic activity but not on education. Going abroad for vacations and frequency of trips outside the place of residence depended on both education and economic activity of the surveyed women.

This article constitutes a desk study regarding animation of free time and its influence on the psychomotor development of infants aged over 3 months. The article discusses the concept of free time of infants. The motor and psychological development of children between the age of three months to one year is presented. Moreover, different ways of spending free time by the parent and child are shown. The aim of this article is to raise awareness of the role of supporting early child development through appropriate selection of games and other activities in line with the individual stage of development of an infant. The article has been prepared based on a literature review (including PubMed, Research Gate, EBSCO) as well as analysis of selected offers of commercial animation activities available in the city of Poznań, taking into account the individual stages of development and their impact on the comprehensive development of infants. Moreover, a list of activities recommended for children which are adequate to specific periods of their development was also prepared.

Purpose. Medieval re-enactment groups known also as modern knight societies or fraternities have been developing rapidly in Poland and all over the world, in particular, for the last decade. The following study aims to show that membership in medieval re-enactment groups can be regarded as a novel form of physical recreation. The study focuses on various dimensions of membership, members' motivations, and benefits of participation in such groups. Basic procedures. The study was conducted in 2006 with members of two modern knight societies: "Opole" and "Chorągiew Ziemi Lwowskiej Księcia Władysława II Opolczyka" from Poland. All in all, 63 subjects (44 men and 19 women) aged 14-52 years, with different levels of education took part in the study. Main findings. The results obtained showed that the main reason for joining medieval re-enactment groups for the majority of subjects was to pursue their hobbies. The main expectation concerning membership in such groups is having fun, which was declared by over 50% of subjects. Moreover, over 50% of subjects expected to improve their frame of mind and experience diversity in their daily life as side effects of their membership in modern knight societies. Additionally, 61% of members who specialized in medieval combat re-enactment noted an improvement of their fitness level. Conclusions. Participation in medieval re-enactment groups can be regarded as a new and attractive form of physical recreation as well as an intellectual activity.

Purpose. The aim of the study was to determine correlations between ways of spending free time and work-related and family-household duties among women taking part in physical recreation activities for many years. Basic procedures. The study included 1,104 women, aged 20 to 75, exercising in organized groups in cities of western Poland. The length of the respondents' physical activity history was defined by the number of years of doing exercise. The study used the diagnostic poll method and complementary survey techniques verified in a pilot study. The research results were analyzed qualitatively and statistically (χ2 test of independence, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test, and multiple comparisons z-test). Main findings. The shortest length of physical activity (one year) was characteristic of women-mothers with children at the pre-school or school age, burdened with household chores and working jobs. At the same time, respondents with a shorter length of physical activity (under four years) spent more of their free time watching television both on weekdays and weekends. Conclusions. A comparison between the weekly volume of time of women's participation in physical exercise and the amount of time devoted to watching television proves that apart from the existence of objective barriers connected with the real work-related and family-household responsibilities, involvement in physical activity remains more of a question of the subjects' personal preferences and choices rather than having free time. Long-lasting physical activity is the decisive factor influencing the choice of active forms of spending free time.
