“…Moreover, participating in sports (egalitarian, elite, and entertainment sports) favor mental health [18]. Apart from the physical exercise aspect of practicing a sport, which is known to have positive effects on mental health, the most prevalent effects of sport lie in expanding and strengthening social networks, a variable that is associated with a better perceived wellbeing [19].…”

The aim of the present study was to examine how different domains of self-esteem (social, competence, affect, academic, family, and physical) relate to self-reported physical and mental health, lower back pain (LBP), smoking, and physical exercise in a sample of adolescents. A sample of 326 adolescents 14–19 years old completed several self-report questionnaires collecting epidemiological data, and information on their LBP, smoking, and physical exercise, the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and the Multidimensional Self-Concept Scale. Pearson’s correlations were calculated between their self-esteem scores and their physical and mental health scores. Three multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) were performed to estimate associations between self-esteem and LBP, smoking, and physical exercise. Self-esteem (total and subcomponent scores) correlated positively with physical and mental health, and with physical exercise, and negatively with smoking. The results also confirm gender-related differences in self-esteem, in favor of boys. This study offers the first findings on the relationship between different domains of self-esteem and a variety of health outcomes in an adolescent population. The results suggest that multidimensional interventions could be devised to improve adolescents’ physical health by promoting their physical exercise, and to prevent their smoking by nurturing their self-esteem.

The analysis of the influence of value orientations on attitudes to corporate social responsibility and within the boundaries of the professional community has been carried out.Corporate social responsibility is considered as an indicator of the overall image of the organization and an integral part of the corporate culture, which cannot be fully realized in practice, if not shared by members of workers, production teams, formal and, as a rule, informal leaders of which are specialists with higher education.At the level of statistical observations the professional community's understanding of the importance of professional social responsibility with localization within specific enterprises and a high status value is "own safety and the safety of others" and "wellbeing of loved ones" in the system of value orientations of professional communities of the region was obtained.The professional community of specialists describes at the level of competencies the high significance of various types of social and professional responsibility; accordingly, they are determined by their own professional activity and responsibility.

“…Undoubtedly, modern professional sport generates business values but it should also focus on developing social values. It is extremely important to maintain an appropriate balance in this respect [32]. It should not be forgotten that professional sport is, however, a highly speci c business activity and, as Smith and Stewart [29] note, requires a speci c approach as it has both commercial and cultural dimensions.…”

BackgroundThe study attempted to answer the question whether the type of practiced sport (individual, team) is a determinant of quality of life in athletes. The study was also intended to identify quality of life determinants in karate practitioners and team sports players from among such socio-cultural variables as age, gender, marital status, financial situation, education, and types of health behaviors.MethodsThe study involved 110 Polish players of team sports and 90 martial arts practitioners. All competitors had high sporting achievements.A Paper-and-Pen Interview questionnaire was used as a standardized survey method. The Inventory of Health Behaviors by Z. Juczyński was used to evaluate respondents’ health behaviors. The Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale by R. A. Cummins was used to measure the quality of life in its objective and subjective components, covering seven domains: material well-being, health, productivity, intimacy, safety, community and emotional well-being.ResultsThe assumed research model proved to be statistically significant. However, of the many quality of life predictors only three proved to be statistically significant: proper dietary habits, positive mental attitude and athletes’ gender. It turned out that men are statistically more likely to achieve a higher quality of life than women. The type of practiced sport did not turn out to be a quality of life determinant.ConclusionsThe results of the present study shows that it is necessary to intensify activities constituting the educational framework of athletes’ training, including the activities of specialists in the area of pro-health behaviors: nutritionists, psychologists, health promoters, as it increases the chances of improving athletes’ overall quality of life.
