“…The obtained data from this questionnaire allowed for a positive evaluation of the general level of physical activity of the examined students, of whom just over a half (50.2%) were characterised by a high level of physical activity, 40.7% moderate and 9.0% low activity. The mean value was 5588 MET-min/week, which was higher when compared to those described in numerous studies conducted in different countries [9,10,11,12]. Thus, the results of the surveyed students contrast positively with the evaluation shown in many other reports, which is disturbing.…”

“…It is disturbing to find that the level of physical activity of students, the future elite, is low, which is evidenced by studies conducted on various continents [9,10,11,12,13]. Favourable results concerning physical activity are rare, as is the case with American students, who showed an overall high level of physical activity [14].…”

“…Regular self-observation of one's own body should be distinctive feature of every graduate of faculty related to health. Although SPHSA questionnaire has been applied in few previous studies [12,[18][19][20], it's worth noting, that this is a first time in which declared values of somatic health indices were empirically verified. Recommended methods for measurement of somatic health and survival abilities in the framework of the SPHSA questionnaire [17] should be considered as propositions.…”

Purpose: to address a question whether reports of young women concerning their positive health are concordant with indices based on recommended methods of measuring health? Material: the study consist of fifteen, 23 years old female students of physiotherapy (height: QUOTE 15X"> =164.3 ±4.55; weight: QUOTE 15X"> = 60.7 ±6.76) who declared engagement in everyday or occasional physical activity. They completed The profile of the sense of positive health and survival abilities indices (SPHSA questionnaire). It includes 23 indices: 8 of somatic health (A), 4 of mental health (B), 3 of social health (C) and 8 of survival ability (D). The sense of intensity of particular indices (aspects A, B, C) is evaluated in the 1 to 5 scale where: 1 very low, 2 low, 3 average, 4 high, 5 very high. Additional index “0” (added to this five-point rating scale) is reserved to aspect D. Besides, SPHSA comprise 8 questions relating to subject’s earlier experiences associated with: safe falling, self-defence, martial arts, life-saving skills in the water, first aid, survival, uniformed services and scouting. Results: there is statistically significant correlation (r = 0.57; p<0.05) between reported and diagnosed average value of general index of somatic health of young women. Reported and diagnosed values of general index of somatic health are concordant in 5 women (33% of study group). The remaining 10 women either overestimate (n = 7) or underestimate (n = 3) their somatic health. Regardless of declared physical activity women significantly overestimated their diastolic blood pressure and underestimate their anaerobic capacity and flexibility: p<0.05 or p<0.01 (these misestimations, concerns indices having extreme values, both highest and lowest). Tendency is more evident in case of everyday active women. Conclusions: results of the experiment allow recommendation SPHSA as a useful tool to measure people’s sense of somatic health. Concurrently person’s self-evaluations can be easily verified because they concern such characteristics of the body which can be measured by quasi-objective methods (criterion validity).

“…Considering the fact that in the near future the Ukraine will undergo many transformations, including the system of school and university education, it may be presumed that these results will be very useful. Tsos et al pay attention to the use of study results in the area of paramedical specialties in the Ukraine [21].…”

SummaryBackground. Contemporary studies of health and evaluation attempts emphasize the holistic approach to health and its dimensions. The objective of the study was determination of health profiles and survival abilities among adolescents, and indicate differentiating variables. Material and methods. A diagnostic survey was used based on Kalina, investigating the subjective sense of health from the aspects of somatic, mental, social health and survival abilities. SPHSA was calculated as the arithmetic mean of individual health and total health measures. The study was conducted in 2014, in a group of 507 school adolescents aged 15-25 attending Medical Post-Secondary School in Lutsk, Ukraine. Results. Social health was evaluated by the adolescents in the most positive terms -3.82 (±0.67), whereas survival abilities -in the most negative terms, 2.63(±0.75). In the domain of total health, the highest values occurred for daily physical activity -3.10(±0.35), while the lowest -for occasional activity -2.78 (±0.35). Similarly, significant differences were found between adolescents of the final, fourth year of school (2.82±0.73), and younger students. Significant correlations were demonstrated (p<0.05) in individual health profiles. With regard to survival capability, such correlation was observed in adolescents engaged in daily physical activity and students from big cities. In the somatic health profile it was observed in overweight adolescents and those who showed systematic physical activity and in the survival capability profile of adolescents pursuing systematic physical activity. With regard to the social health profile a significantly higher value occurred in first-year students and those with the highest educational achievements. Conclusions. The results of the study obtained should be used in discussions concerning educational programmes for students of paramedical specialties in the Ukraine.Keywords: health profile, period of adolescence, SPHSA questionnaire Streszczenie Wprowadzenie. Współcześnie w badaniach nad zdrowiem i próbach jego oceny wskazuje się na holistyczne traktowanie zdrowia i jego wymiarów. Celem pracy było scharakteryzowanie specyfiki profili zdrowia i zdolności przetrwania wśród młodzieży oraz wskazanie zmiennych je różnicujących. Materiał i metody. Zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego na postawie oryginalnej metodologii Kaliny, która polega na badaniu subiektywnego poczucia zdrowia w zakresie czterech mierników: zdrowia somatycznego, psychicznego, społecznego i zdolności przetrwania. Indeks SPHSA obliczono za pomocą średniej arytmetycznej poszczególnych mierników zdrowia i zdrowia całkowitego. Badania zrealizowano w 2014 r., na grupie 507 uczniów w wieku 15-25 lat będących słuchaczami studium policealnego w Łucku na Ukrainie. Wyniki. Młodzież najwyżej oceniła swoje zdrowie społeczne 3,82 (±0,67), natomiast najniżej zdolności przetrwania 2,63(±0,75). W kategorii zdrowia całkowitego istotnie najwyższe wartości zaobserwowano u uczniów o codziennej aktywności ruchowej 3,10(±0,35), a naj...
