Introduction. Pubescence is a life stage with the most turbulent progression of sensorimotor abilities during the transformation of a child into an adult. Differences in all sensorimotor abilities between boys and girls are become significant at this age. The progression of reaction abilities in girls decreases at this age (girls achieve peak values around the age of 15), while the reaction abilities in boys keep improving into adolescence. Younger children compared to adults and older children show a reduced ability to perform one or more tasks concurrently with a movement task. Aim of Study. The purpose of the study was to determine the time of complex reaction of the lower limbs of children. Moreover, a relationship between reaction time, age and gender was also found. Material and Methods. The research group included 81 primary school students aged 10-15 years. Subjects were divided into four groups according to age and gender (Group 1 – 9.8 to 10.8-year-old girls, n = 20; Group 2 – 10.0 to 10.7-year-old boys, n = 19; Group 3 – 14.3 to 15.3-year-old girls, n = 21; and Group 4 – 14.2 to 15.2-year-old boys, n = 21). The measurements were carried out using the FiTRO Agility Check test. A two-way ANOVA revealed statistically significant differences between the groups. The significance level was adjusted to 0.05. Tukey’s post-hoc test was used to determine differences between pairs of groups. Results. There are significant differences between the boys and girls aged 14-15 years. Other differences between boys and girls aged 10-11 years were not statistically significant, however, girls performed with slightly shorter reaction times. Conclusions. The research showed a significant relationship between age and complex reaction speed in the age group of 14-15 of boys and girls. This study helps to prove that boys do not have shorter complex reaction times than girls aged 10-11 years.
Background. Eating behaviours play a key role in lives of young people who stay physically active. They influence both their correct development and performance. Objective. Evaluation of selected eating behaviours of girls and boys attending sport-oriented classes and identification of differences between eating behaviours of studied groups. Materials and Methods. 460 students attending sport-oriented classes in Poland participated in the study. A questionnaire prepared by the author of the study was the research tool. The data was gathered in Microsoft Office Excel 2010 worksheet. Statistical analysis was made with the use of StatSoft, Inc. Statistica version 10.0. Results. The questioned students most often had 4-5 meals a day- such an answer was given by 59.09% of the boys and 41.38% of the girls. 55.59% and 41.95% of them respectively had breakfast within 30 minutes from waking up and 41,96% of the girls and 39.51% of the boys had supper 2-3 hours before going to sleep. Whole meal bread and/or groats were most frequently consumed a few times a day as it was declared by 50.35% of the boys and 45.98% of the girls. The highest percentage of the respondents consumed vegetables at least once a day (31.61% of the girls and 31.47% of the boys). 44.83% of the girls and 40.9% of the boys declared eating fruit a few times a day. Conclusions. Studied eating behaviours of girls and boys in sport-oriented classes are largely wrong and require correction. The analysis of the gathered data indicated statistically significant differences between boys’ and girls’ eating behaviours, however, the boys’ habits were better.
Introduction. Appropriate diet and physical activity are vital determinants of psychophysical development in children and adolescents. Objective. The aim of the study was to analyse an association between dietary habits and physical activity levels of adolescents from post-grammar schools. Material and methods. The study included 110 girls and 65 boys between 16 and 19 years of age from two post-grammar schools in Biała Podlaska in Poland. They were subjected to a diagnostic survey providing information on their diet (number of meals a day, their regularity, frequency of bread, dairy, meat, fish, sweet, fruit, vegetable and fast food consumption, preferred ways of food processing). Physical activity levels were determined with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Based on these data, the respondents were stratified to high, moderate and low physical activity groups. Due to small number of participants presenting with low physical activity levels, we did not include this group in further analyses. The significance of differences in the dietary habits of adolescents presenting with high and moderate physical activity levels was verified with the χ2 test. Results. Most girls and boys presented with high levels of physical activity. However, we did not find an evident relationship between dietary habits and physical activity levels. Girls from high and moderate physical activity groups differed solely in terms of the number of daily meals, frequency of meat and sweet consumption, and significant intergroup differences observed among boys pertained to the frequencies of whole-wheat bread, meat and fast food consumption. The abovementioned food products were consumed more often by girls and boys presenting with high physical activity levels. Conclusions. The dietary mistakes observed in physically active adolescents from post-secondary schools justify intensification of their dietary education programs.
Background: The objective of this study was to determine changes in the group size of girls and boys with proper BMI values and their peers with underweight, overweight and obesity in a twenty-year time span. Material/Methods: In 1985 and 1986,20,353 boys and girls were examined, and 20 years later, 10,705 students. Measurements of body height and body mass were taken, which enabled calculating values of the Body Mass Index (BMI). The statistical significance of differences between mean values obtained in 1986 and 2006 was verified with Student’s t-test for independent variables. The statistical significance of differences between the number of girls and boys classified to each group in respect of the whole group surveyed in 1986 and 2006 was determined with the χ² test. Results: The greatest generation changes in the mass-to-height proportions were noted in the youngest children from the Podlaskie Province. It was higher by 1.66% in pupils with 2nd degree underweight, and higher by 4.79% and 1.29% in pupils with overweight and obesity, respectively, while it was lower by 10.11% among boys with a normal BMI value. In girls the percentage with normal BMI values was observed to decrease by 8.95%, whereas among girls with overweight – to increase by 4.85%. Conclusions: The results may suggest that a greater percentage of the young generation will be characterized by improper mass-to-height proportions.
The human cloning is a controversial ethical subject. The polish comprehensive school pupils (210 girls and 107 boys) anonymously poll on causes of "human cloning". The "cloning" for 60% people means creating the copy of alive organism, however for 1% the method of artificial insemination. The majority of pupils (74,7%) don't accept the human cloning (74,7%). About 40% of pupils consider, that cloned man has the soul. About 70% of respondents have opinion, that in the future cloning man will be legal. Over 66% of pupils think, that cloned man will have the normal civil rights.
In an answer to the survey, 40% of the surveyed girls and 82% of boys declared regular eating of three or four main meals a day. Only 31% of the young people drank milk or milk beverages regularly, and almost half of the surveyed youth ate raw vegetables and fruit every day. Similar percentage had fish as well as poultry in their menu 1–2 times a week and about one fourth of the surveyed group: 3–4 times a week. Snacking (mainly fruit, sandwiches, crisps) between main meals was declared by 85% of the surveyed. As many as 97% of the surveyed young people ate fast food, but at the same time 100% of the surveyed girls and 95% of the boys expressed an opinion that this is not “healthy” food. Most preferred products were: pizza – 76% of the surveyed young people, open cheese and mushroom toasted sandwich with ketchup – 54%, Big Mac – 43%. A convenient form of consumption, attractiveness, taste and accessible price were regarded by most of the surveyed as great advantages of these products.
The aim of the study is to present the way of nutrition of the Lublin high school students, particularly the differences related to sex. The examinations, which involved 386 students aged 15-20, were conducted using the author's questionnaire in 2004. The results of the chi2 test have revealed that girls consume fewer meals a day (p=0.01), more fruits (p=0.0001), prefer cooked (p=0.00006), vegetable dishes (p=0.0003) and non-carbonated water (p=000.2) compared to boys. Moreover, they pay attention to caloricity of meals (p=0.00001), their appearance (p=0.02) and expiry dates (p=0.00003). Boys more often consume their last meal after 8 p. m. (p=0.0003), eat quickly (p=0.01), favour choose prefer meat dishes (p=0.00004), preferably fried (p=0.00006), drink more liquids (p=0.003) including carbonated drinks compared to girls (p=0.00001).
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a protozoan infectious disease and widespread in Mediterranean basin including Turkey. Lesions usually start with erythematous papules, gradually enlarges and afterwards it ulcerates. We present a 12-year-old boy with diffuse persistent lip swelling mimicking granulomatous cheilitis. Systemic glucantime was started. However, severe hypotension and bradycardia was developed after injection. Oral fluconazole was started and the lesion resolved completely. Cutaneous leishmaniasis can have varied clinical manifestations and should be suspected especially in endemic areas. Oral fluconazole seems to be safe and effective treatment modality in paediatric cases.
The first study was conducted in 1996 in 10 (i.e. all) nurseries and 11 randomly selected preschools in Szczecin. The study involved 526 children (257 boys and 269 girls) aged 1–4 years, and 865 children from preschools (448 boys and 417 girls) aged 4–7 years. In 2006, the study was repeated in seven nurseries (i.e. all nurseries that existed in Szczecin at the time) and 11 preschools in the city of Szczecin, i.e. the same as in 1996. The study involved 314 children attending nurseries: 169 boys and 145 girls aged 1.5–4 and 887 preschool children (461 boys and 426 girls) aged 4–6 years. Motor development of nursery children was assessed based on the Denver test in two selected areas. The level of motor development in preschool children was assessed on the basis of a modified Wrocław Physical Fitness Test developed by B. Sekita. Comparison of the results helped answer the question whether and what developmental changes took place over a decade. The results indicated that the level of motor development of children in Szczecin, compared with children examined 10 years earlier, showed no significant differences.
