Participation in ultra-endurance performance is of increasing popularity. We analyzed the historic development of the ultra-triathlon scene from 1985 to 2011 focusing on a) worldwide distribution of competition, b) participation, c) gender, and d) athlete nationality. We examined the participation trends of 3,579 athletes, involving 3,297 men (92.1%) and 300 women (7.9%), using linear regression analyses. Between 1985 and 2011, a total of 96 Double Iron ultra-triathlons (7.6km swimming, 360km cycling, and 84.4km running), 51 Triple Iron ultra-triathlons (11.6km swimming, 540km cycling, and 126.6km running), five Quadruple Iron ultra-triathlons (15.2km swimming, 720km cycling, and 168.8km running), five Quintuple Iron ultra-triathlons (19km swimming, 900km cycling, and 211km running), 11 Deca Iron ultra-triathlons (38km swimming, 1,800km cycling, and 422km running), and two Double Deca Iron ultra-triathlons (76km swimming, 3,600km cycling, and 844km running) were held. In total, 56.7% of the races were in Europe, 37.4% in North America, 5.3% in South America, and less than 1% in Asia. Europeans comprised 80% of the athletes. The number of male participants in Double (r2 = .56; P < .001) and Triple Iron ultra-triathlon (r2 = .47; P < .001) and the number of female participants in Double Iron ultra-triathlon (r2 = .66; P < .001) increased significantly. Less than 8% of the athletes total participated in an ultra-triathlon longer than a Triple Iron ultra-triathlon. Europeans won by far the most competitions in every distance. In conclusion, ultra-triathlon popularity is mainly limited to a) European and North American men and b) Double and Triple Iron ultra-triathlons. Future studies need to investigate the motivation of these ultra-endurance athletes to compete in these extreme races.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to empirically analyze the sports background, personality dimensions, attitudes, and social competencies of adult head coaches and young assistant coaches involved in the German Einfach Fußball (Just Soccer) program, which promotes the participation of pupils with intellectual disabilities in soccer/sports and society. Methods. The study recruited 28 head coaches and 29 assistant coaches who completed a questionnaire battery of standardized instruments (NEO Five-Factor Inventory, Interpersonal Reactivity Index, Social Self-Efficacy) as well as self-developed instruments. Analysis of the data involved descriptive and inferential statistical procedures. A descriptive comparison of the assistant coaches with a normative sample of males aged 16-20 years was performed. Results. The head coaches were found with little soccer/sports experience with persons with disabilities prior to participation in the Just Soccer program. However, the majority were familiar with these persons through personal/vocational contacts. Overall, the head coaches were differentiated by formal coaching levels and playing backgrounds, with very few holding any additional formal qualifications in special education. The assistant coaches presented below average scores in the analyzed five personality dimensions when compared with the normative sample. Their attitudes and social competencies did not change during their 8-month involvement in Just Soccer. Conclusions. The findings highlight the important role of the coaching staff in the success of the Just Soccer program. Coaches involved in such activities should be familiarized with needs of people with disabilities, be stress-resistant, and possess a balanced set of personality traits. In addition, the results suggest that such individuals should be coaches/players from conventional soccer clubs instead of special school physical education teachers.

Wprowadzenie: Pomimo rosnącego zainteresowania formami zagospodarowania czasu wolnego i jego wpływu na wiele aspektów życia, ciągle jeszcze zbyt mało uwagi poświęca się zrozumieniu indywidualnych doświadczeń ich uczestników. Ważne jest nie tylko co robimy, ale także to, jak wykonywane zajęcie wpływa na ogólne samopoczucie, funkcjonowanie i pełnienie ról społecznych. Cel: Celem pracy jest przedstawienie procesu walidacji polskiej wersji kwestionariusza Self-reported Experiences of Activity Settings (SEAS). Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono w grupie 153 osób w wieku 10-22 lat (średnia 15,5 ± 3,3). Badani zostali podzieleni na cztery grupy. Proces tłumaczenia i adaptacji kulturowej został przeprowadzony według międzynarodowych zasad opracowanych przez ISPOR. Wyniki: Współczynnik alfa Cronbacha dla całego kwestionariusza wyniósł 0,953. Wskaźniki zgodności wewnętrznej alfa Cronbaha dla grup pytań w polskiej wersji kwestionariusza TeDeMAR były większe lub równe 0,70 i bliskie wartościom tego współczynnika w wersji angielskiej kwestionariusza. Wyniki badania stałości testu wykonane w grupie 4. wykazały brak istotnych statystycznie różnic (p>0,05) pomiędzy poszczególnymi grupami pytań Wnioski: Kwestionariusz TeDeMAR jako polskojęzyczna wersja kwestionariusza SEAS spełnił wszystkie kryteria walidacji.

Introduction: Despite the growing interest in various forms of leisure time management and their influence on various aspects of human life, still not enough attention is paid to understanding individual experiences of participation in classes. It is important not only what we do, but also how the activity affects overall well-being, functioning and role play in society. Objective: The aim of this work is to present the process of validation of the Polish version of the Self-reported Experiences of Activity Settings (SEAS) questionnaire. Material and methods: The study was conducted in a group of 153 people aged 10-22 years (mean 15.5 ± 3.3). The study participants were divided into four groups. The process of translation and cultural adaptation was carried out according to international rules developed by ISPOR. Results: The alpha Cronbach index for the whole questionnaire was 0.953. The internal alpha Cronbach index for question groups in the Polish version of the TeDeMAR questionnaire was higher or equal to 0.70 and close to the values of this index in the English version of the questionnaire. The results of the constancy test performed in group 4 showed no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between the individual question groups. Conclusions: The TeDeMAR questionnaire, as the Polish version of the SEAS questionnaire, met all validation criteria.

Wstęp: Przewlekły ból lędźwiowy o podłożu mechanicznym (ang. Long-Term Mechanical Low-Back Pain – LMLBP) stanowi poważne wyzwanie dla lekarzy i badaczy. Niniejsze badanie oceniło wpływ statycznych i dynamicznych wytrzymałościowych ćwiczeń prostownika grzbietu na natężenie bólu, ograniczenie aktywności i partycypacji u chorych z LMLBP leczonych metodą Mc Kenzie (ang. Mc Kenzie Protocol – MP). Materiały i metody: 84 chorych z LMLBP uczestniczyło w kontrolowanym badaniu przeprowadzonym metodą pojedynczej ślepej próby. Metodą randomizacji blokowej chorych przydzielono do jednej z trzech grup: Grupa MP (ang. Mc Kenzie Protocol Group – MPG), grupa MP plus statyczne ćwiczenia wytrzymałościowe prostownika grzbietu (ang. Mc Kenzie Protocol Static Back Endurance Exercise Group – MPSBEEG) oraz grupa MP plus dynamiczne wytrzymałościowe ćwiczenia prostownika grzbietu (ang. Mc Kenzie Protocol Dynamic Back Endurance Exercise Group – MPDBEEG). Terapię stosowano trzy razy w tygodniu przez 8 tygodni a rezultaty mierzono w kategoriach natężenia bólu, ograniczenia aktywności i partycypacji w końcu 4 i 8 tygodnia badań przy pomocy poczwórnej analogowej skali wizualnej (ang. Quadriple Visual Analogue Scale – QVAS), kwestionariusza Rolanda i Morrisa (ang. Roland – Morris Back Pain Questionnaire – RMBPQ) oraz kwestionariusza niepełnosprawności Oswestry (ang. Oswestry Low-back Disability Questionnaire – OLBDQ). Dane analizowano stosując statystykę na poziomie istotności α 0,05. Wyniki: Badania ukończyło 67 uczestników w wieku 38-62 lat w grupach MP, MPSBEE i MPDBEE liczących odpowiednio 25, 22 i 20 chorych. Grupy były porównywalne pod względem wieku, cech fizycznych oraz podstawowych wskaźników oceny wyniku interwencji (p>0,05). Porównanie wewnątrz grup na przestrzeni trzech punktów czasowych badania ujawniło znaczący wpływ różnych metod leczenia na wszystkie wskaźniki oceny wyników (p <0,05). Nie było istotnych różnic w średnich punktowych ocenach zmian przy użyciu QVAS (p=0,579) i OLBDQ (p=0,755) w grupach odpowiednio w 4 i 8 tygodniu. Analiza post-hoc wykazała wyższą średnią zmianę w RMBPQ (p=0,001) w grupie MPDEE tylko w 4 tygodniu. Wniosek: Metoda McKenzie, także z dodatkiem statycznych lub dynamicznych ćwiczeń wytrzymałościowych prostownika grzbietu jest skuteczna w redukowaniu bólu i niepełnosprawności chorych z przewlekłym mechanicznym bólem lędźwiowym. Czterotygodniowa terapia metodą Mc Kenzie połączona ze stosowaniem dynamicznych ćwiczeń wytrzymałościowych prostownika grzbietu okazała się skuteczniejsza w zmniejszeniu ograniczenia partycypacji.

Introduction: Long-Term Mechanical Low-Back Pain (LMLBP) constitutes a serious challenge to clinicians and researchers. This study evaluated the effect of static and dynamic back extensor muscles endurance exercise on pain intensity, activity limitation and participation restriction in patients with LMLBP treated with the McKenzie Protocol (MP).Materials and Methods: Eighty four patients with LMLBP participated in this single-blind controlled trial. The participants were assigned to one of three groups; the MP Group (MPG), MP plus Static Back Endurance Exercise Group (MPSBEEG) and MP plus Dynamic Endurance Exercise Group (MPDBEEG) using permuted randomized block. Treatment was applied thrice weekly for 8 weeks and outcomes were measured in terms of pain intensity, activity limitation and participation restriction at the end of 4th and 8th week of study using Quadriple Visual Analogue Scale (QVAS), Roland – Morris Back Pain Questionnaire (RMBPQ), and Oswestry Low-back Disability Questionnaire (OLBDQ). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 alpha level. Results: Sixty seven participants whose ages ranged between 38 and 62 years completed the study comprising of 25, 22 and 20 in MPG, MPSBEEG and MPDBEEG respectively. The groups were comparable in age, physical characteristics and baseline outcome measures (p>0,05). Within-group comparison across the three time-points of the study revealed that the different treatment regimens had significant effects on all the outcome measures (p<0,05). There were no significant differences in the mean change scores on QVAS (p=0,579) and OLBDQ (p=0,755) at across the groups at week 4 and 8 respectively. Post-hoc analysis showed that MPDEEG had higher mean change in RMBPQ (p=0,001) at week 4 only.Conclusion: McKenzie protocol as well as the addition of static or dynamic back extensors endurance exercises are effective in reducing pain and disability in patients with long-term mechanical low-back pain. However, four weeks of McKenzie protocol plus dynamic back extensors endurance exercise resulted in better decrease in participation restriction.
