Background and Study Aim. A healthy and active lifestyle is becoming one of the most talked topics amongst people from all over the world. Being more physically active has never been more important than today as both jobs and leisure activities are becoming increasingly sedentary. Humans have moved from being very physically active to being less and less active each year. The aim of our study was to find out the degree of satisfaction and the frequency of performing leisure activities among students of the Police Academy in Bratislava, Slovakia. Material and Methods. For the purpose of our study, we have used a short version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) that consisted of 7 questions. The survey was attended by 439 students of the Police Academy located in Bratislava, capital of Slovakia. Our study group was divided into two groups according to their gender, the first group consisted of 249 female students and the second o 190 male students. The overall average age of our students of 21.55 years. Our survey was carried out at the end of the summer semester in June 2022. Questionnaire was carried out online and created through Google forms. The results of the questionnaire were later compared based on the participants gender and analysed using homogeneity test of two independent samples, two-sample t-test with equality and inequality of variances and the chi-square test at the level of significance p < 0.01 or p < 0.05. Results. When compared, male students in general were more active than female students - median of 30 minutes a week. Male students engaged in vigorous intensity physical activity on average more than 15 minutes a week compared to female students. Moderate intensity physical activity difference was even bigger (23,09 minutes a week) in favour of male students, these results have proven to be also statistically significant at the level of significance p < 0.01. Female participants of our study were slightly more active in walking physical activity, 2.92 minutes a week on average, but the difference between our two studied groups have not proven to be statistically significant at the level of significance p < 0.05. Conclusions. Here in our study, we’ve looked at physical activity, physical activity levels and how much students attending Academy of the Police Force in Bratislava engage in them. By comparing our survey participants to adults from other countries we can conclude that both our male and female participants have shown higher physical activity levels.

Background and Study Aim. Achieving optimal health and performance in judo athletes requires a customized approach to training and evaluation. This study aimed to assess the level of special endurance and functionality of experienced judo athletes for optimal health and performance. Material and Methods. Thirteen experienced judo athletes were tested using a dummy throw with a deflection for 4 minutes, with the number of throws and heart rate dynamics assessed during and after the exercise. Heart rate indicators were recorded using a heart rate sensor and a specialized computer program. Results. The athletes completed the maximum number of throws in the first minute, followed by stabilization. Heart rate gradually increased during the test, reaching a maximum of 184 beats per minute at the end of the test. These findings suggest that the dummy throw test can be used to assess the level of special endurance in judo athletes, while heart rate indicators can be used to characterize their current functional state. Conclusions. A customized evaluation of special endurance and functionality provides valuable insights for optimizing health and performance in judo athletes. By tailoring training programs to individual needs, coaches and trainers can help judo athletes achieve their full potential while minimizing the risk of injury and burnout. Overall, this study highlights the importance of a personalized approach to training and evaluation for maintaining optimal health and performance in judo athletes.

Background and Study Aim. The difficult situation in Ukraine related to military operations has created significant challenges for education and sports. This study aimed to examine the impact of volleyball training on the physical fitness and mental health of college students in this context. Physical activity and sports have been shown to have numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of volleyball classes on the physical fitness and health outcomes of college students. Materials and Methods. Ten third-year college students participated in the study, all of whom agreed to participate voluntarily. Over a period of three months, the students attended volleyball classes. The following tests were used to measure physical fitness: Shuttle run 3×10 meters (seconds), Running 60 meters (seconds), Jumping up (centimeters), and Jumping over a rope in 30 seconds. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: A comparison of the results at the beginning and end of the study showed significant changes in jumping up and jumping over a rope in 30 seconds (p<0.001). The results of the other tests also showed improvement. Conclusions. The results of this study suggest that volleyball classes had a positive effect on the physical fitness of college students. Specifically, the classes contributed to improvements in all of the tests used to measure physical fitness. Therefore, volleyball classes may be an effective means of promoting physical activity and improving the physical fitness and health outcomes of college students. However, it is recommended that colleges prioritize the safety and well-being of their students above all else by continuing to offer online classes and minimizing in-person gatherings, including sports activities, as much as possible.

Background and Study Aim. Physical fitness is crucial for the success of athletes in competitive sports. However, often the impact of physical exertion on athlete health is overlooked. The study aims to investigate the relationship between the level of physical fitness and competitive performance of judokas aged 19-21. Material and Methods. Judo athletes (n=30) participated in the study. The study used video recordings of competitive bouts of 30 judokas aged 19-21 in different weight categories. The athletes were tested for various physical fitness indicators, including strength endurance, coordination abilities, speed-strength abilities, endurance, speed abilities, and flexibility. The SPSS 22 program was used to conduct correlation analysis. Results. The study showed that throws Ippon Seoi Nage, Seoi Otoshi, Kо soto Gake, O Uchi Gari and Ko uchi gar, Ko Soto Gari were the most commonly used techniques across all weight categories. Lighter weight categories favored a throw over the head (Sumi Gaeshi, Tomoe Nage) with an emphasis on speed and coordination, while heavier weight categories favored bending throws (Ura nage) that required strength and flexibility. Conclusions. Based on the study findings, a list of recommended technical judo techniques for each weight category has been proposed. These recommended techniques are closely related to the athletes' level of physical fitness, and coaches can use them to optimize training programs for young judokas.
