(1805–1833)
Authors: Paweł Tarkowski
Pages: 11 - 27
Abstract: The aim of this article is to introduce assumptions in the scope of physical education, health education and care carried out in the Volhynian Gymnasium in Krzemieniec. The school that was established on the initiative of Tadeusz Czacki functioned over the period 1805–1833. It was the representative institution, in which education of young people was provided according to the newest for that age education models. In the curriculum there were proposals of the National Education Commission, part of which concerned issues connected with physical and health education. In the Volhynian Gymnasium physical education gained particular recognition and became equally important as other taught subjects. Pupils had to take part in physical activities, which included running, sword playing and swimming. Furthermore, additional activities like horse riding, fencing and dancing were organized. In school curriculum there was a hygiene course, and pupils were provided with the extensive medical care, starting education in this subject through providing medical attention in the school and at home.

- Changing views on the role of physical education teachers and sports
coaches in Polish sports pedagogy literature up to 2015
Authors: Agnieszka Połaniecka
Pages: 29 - 46
Abstract: For centuries societies all over the world have been searching for the ideal of a teacher. As a result of this search, expectations of the profession have changed. In the 19th century people were looking for ways to improve health and living conditions. At that time a movement of hygienists arose, which saw an opportunity to improve the situation in education and school hygiene, and a new teaching speciality was created, i.e. the physical activity teacher. Meanwhile, there was an intense development of sports, among other things, due to the organisation of the modern Olympic Games. The above factors contributed to the emergence of a new specialisation in teaching physical education. In the second half of the 20th century, due to more focus on the role of physical education teachers, and above all, as a result of the development of sport, the profession of sports coach emerged. Opinions on the role of physical education teachers and sports coaches have been changing over the years. Not only are the knowledge and skills of the coach important, but also who they are as a specialist, as an educator and as a person. According to the author, the coach should have the player’s best interests at heart in every situation. In addition, it was pointed out that amateur and professional sport are inextricably linked.

Abstract: Teaching and coaching are two different occupational roles and the responsibilities of teachers and sports coaches can be distinguished from each other. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the role of teacher-coach in sports and self-efficacy with the mediating role of sports goal orientation. This study used descriptive-correlational research. The appropriateness of the measurement model was tested by confirmatory factor analysis. Research data were obtained from 36 physical education teachers through a questionnaire. For data analysis, statistical methods of correlation test and bivariate regression using SPSS-22 and AMOS software were used. The conflict between the roles of sports teacher-coach with the presence of the mediating variable of sports goal orientation indicated a positive and significant effect on self-efficacy. Sports goal orientation also had a positive and direct effect on self-efficacy. The results of the present study displayed a comprehensive view. Accordingly, physical education teachers who have an intermediate role (teacher-centered and coach-centered) showed high self-efficacy and sports goal-orientation. The findings of this study offered valuable information to improve the quality of learning and teaching for sport coaches and physical education teachers.

- Virus (COVID-19) Epidemic and Sports Performance: Evidence from Asian
Professional Football Clubs
Authors: Saeed Khanmoradi, Shahram Fatahi
Pages: 67 - 86
Abstract: When the COVID-19 epidemic spread around the world, researchers did many studies about sports and COVID-19, but there was not much quantitative research. Therefore the purpose of this study was the effect of the COVID-19 epidemic on the sports performance of Asian football clubs with quintile regression. This study used panel data for fifteen Asian football clubs from April to December 2020. The research used the points of Asia football clubs to estimate their sports performance. Also, this study collected cases and deaths caused by the COVID-19 epidemic as the other two variables. According to the results, because coefficient estimates (degree of dependence) for each quantile are equal (for both effects COVID-19 virus on Sports Performance and effect death of COVID-19 virus on Sports Performance), the dependence structure is said to be constant. Therefore, a positive estimate and equivalent in all quantile for the impact of cases of COVID-19 virus on Sports Performance show that cases of COVID-19 virus have a constant positive effect on sports performance. A negative estimate and equivalent in all quantile for the impact of death of COVID-19 virus on Sports Performance show that death of COVID-19 virus has a constant negative effect on Sports Performance.

psycho-physiological abilities of university cadets
Authors: Vladyslav Otkydach, Mukola Korchagin, Pavlo Potsiluiko, Ihor Fishchuk, Svitlana Indyka, Natalia Bielikova
Pages: 87 - 98
Abstract: The article is devoted to the issue of correcting psycho-physiological qualities of VVNIZ cadets. 131 cadets (17–26 years old) participated in the study. They were divided into control (n = 95) and experimental (n = 36) groups. The control group continued to perform the current training program, and the experimental group was engaged in the ICU section. Pedagogical testing was conducted to assess the level of psycho-physiological indicators of abilities. A pretest-posttest method was used to determine the impact of the experimental program on the cadets’ psycho-physiological abilities. The reliability of the difference between the indicators of the cadets from the two groups was established using Student’s t test (р < 0.05). To investigate the influence of complex military and sports training on the psychophysiological abilities of university cadets. The results of the experiment indicate an improvement in the indicators of professionally important psycho-physiological abilities of the EG representatives in relation to the CG respondents: attention speed improved by 7.9% (р < 0.05), concentration of attention by 15.4% (р < 0.05), mental capacity by 4.4% (p > 0.05), and mental productivity coefficient by 8.3% (p < 0.05). Thus, the means of MSAC can be used to improve professionally important psycho-physiological abilities of cadets of higher military educational institutions.

Pages: 101 - 117
Abstract: Aerobic exercise training is recommended to prevent and control obesity. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a twelve-week step aerobics or floor aerobics exercise program in improving the physical and psychophysiological health of obese men. Sixty male adults of mean age 18.92 (SD 1.54 years) and Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 were randomly allocated into three equal (n = 20) groups: Step Aerobics Exercise Training (SAET), Floor Aerobic Exercise Training (FAET), and a control group (which did not perform any exercise). The SAET and FAET training protocols were performed three days per week for 12 weeks. Health-related physical fitness, biochemical, physiological, and psychological variables were used as outcome measures and measured at baseline and at 12 weeks. There were significant differences in terms of physical and psychophysiological health parameters in participants who underwent SAET and FAET training compared with the control group (p < 0.05). SAET and FAET proved to be helpful in managing the physical and psychological health of obese adults. Schools and colleges should administer aerobic exercise sessions to adults for better health perspectives.

Pages: 119 - 135
Abstract: Functional capabilities are important for professional activities of officers, especially young female officers. It is necessary to identify the most effective physical activity programs to improve functional capabilities. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two physical activity programs for young females during their first year of training at a military academy. A total of 129 young females aged 17–18 participated in this study. Twenty-one and 108 charges were included in the experimental and control groups, respectively. Each group differed in terms of the physical activity interventions used during the year of learning. The outcome measures included heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), vital capacity index (VCI), isometric strength (IMIS), Ruffier test index (RTI) and Robinson index (RI). All studied physiological parameters improved in both groups; however, the experimental group achieved a significantly higher improvement than the control one in five of the eight parameters (HR, 4.5%; VCI, 15.4%; IMIS, 12.6%; RTI, 16.9%; RI, 5.0%). In conclusion, the intervention used in the experimental group provided a more significant improvement in functional capabilities. It is advisable to use the developed model in the practice of cadets’ physical activity during training at a military academy to improve their functional capabilities.
