“…The respondents' declared physical activity was also compared with the results of a survey of people from a health promotion association in the Dąbrowa Basin, Poland. This group claimed to undertake moderate-intensity physical activity for 138 minutes per week, while high-intensity efforts for 102 minutes per week [31]. Again, more favorable results were seen in those from ICCs.…”

Funds collection zebranie funduszy SummaryBackground. The purpose of the following research is to present the physical activity of a niche group -people from Independent Cultural Centers (ICCs) -and to show the relationship between physical activity and the age of the respondents. Material and methods. The study group consisted of people between the ages of 19 and 46 who were active in associations that form ICCs in Poland (in Warsaw, Lublin, Gliwice, and Wroclaw). The International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF) was used to identify the level of physical activity. In order to show the differences between the physical activity of older and younger respondents, they were divided into two groups: 1 st group ≤ 30 years, 2 nd group ≥ 31 years. Results. The analyses showed that the age of the respondents has an impact on the physical activity undertaken. More favorable, statistically significant results in analyses of vigorous physical activity (VPA) and moderate physical activity (MPA) were obtained by the younger group. Conclusions. Participation in physical activity declines with age. There is a need to create an offer that encourages leisure-time physical activity that is attractive to older groups. Despite the more favorable analysis results of the younger group's declared physical activity, the results of the older respondents compare favorably to the groups in the studies conducted by other authors. This may indicate that the offer prepared by the associations that make up ICCs is adequately adapted to the needs of the respondents.

“…In previous studies, the most frequently evaluated were the compliance with pro-health recommendations based on aerobic (endurance) and mixed effort exercises [36,37,15,38,39,40]. For instance, Scheers and others [38] demonstrated that the WHO recommended weekly volume of physical activity of moderate intensity (150 min.…”

“…To conclude, it is important to emphasise that the studied women met both evaluated criteria of prohealth physical activity, which should be considered a fundamental value of strength training. The results of the research conducted so far indicate that the percentage of respondents meeting specific recommendations decreases with the number of criteria included in them [36,35,38,40].…”

Data interpretation interpretacja danych E. Preparation of manuscript przygotowanie artykułu F. literature analysis/search wyszukiwanie i analiza literatury G. Funds collection zebranie funduszy Summary Background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential health benefits of peripheral strength training in women according to the ACSM protocol. Material and methods. This study involved 90 women aged 29.2±3.3 years, who performed three sets of 10 resistance exercises repeated 10-15 times with a 60% load of 1rM. Energy expenditure (EE) during the exercises was measured with the Caltrac Monitor accelerometer. Their intensity (relative EE) was expressed in kcal/min. results were compared to the recommended volume of daily physical activity according to the proposals of Paffenbarter and colleagues. Effort of at least moderate intensity (5.5-7.4 kcal/min) was considered to be beneficial for health. Results. The average EE of the entire training was 293 kcal, resistance exercises 230 kcal and the average intensity effort was 7.3 kcal/min. It was shown that peripheral resistance training, according to the ACSM Protocol, allowed all examined women to fulfil pro-health recommendations for the volume and intensity of daily physical activity (in terms of absolute and relative energy expenditure). Conclusions. Peripheral resistance training in accordance with ACSM protocol can be recommended to women aged 25-35 as a form of implementation of pro-health recommendations in the scope of due daily energy expenditure on physical effort, as well as its intensity.
