Nowadays, recreational activity is not only the general tendency to improve physical function, but is also associated with increased physical effort and risk. For example, there has been the development of more sophisticated and dangerous forms of skiing. Today, skiing can be divided into downhill skiing, practiced in ski resorts, and freeskiing. The freeskiing forms include ski-touring and freeride, considered as extreme. The extreme forms are characterized by high risk as the main motive for their practice. The most important predisposition to engage in those activities is the courage expressed in risk taking propensity. Risk taking propensity is a personality trait that affects human decisions in risky situations. Depending on its severity, more or less risky behavior can be observed. The aim of the study was to determine the level of propensity to risk behaviors of people involved in forms of activity associated with a higher risk in comparison with other participants, on the example of recreational skiing. The questionnaire constructed by Ryszard Studenski was used to measure the risk taking propensity and frequency of risky behavior. The research was carried out on 40 persons classified on the basis of the declaration of preferred form of skiing. People practicing extreme forms of winter activity (ski touring, ski-mountaineering) showed lower level of risk taking propensity than a group of downhill skiers. It was found that the preference of risky sports is not definitely related to the higher propensity to risk-taking behavior.
The aim of the study was to describe physical activity of Polish soldiers in the field of skiing, mountaineering and mountain tourism during their internment in Switzerland between 1940–1945. Method of research. The following source materials were analysed: archival sources, the papers of the “Goniec Obozowy” [“The Camp Messenger”] published by the interned soldiers, relations of the interned soldiers and literature. Results. The Polish 2nd Rifle Division was formed in France from November 1939 until May 1940. In June 1940, the division, as a part of the 45th Corps of the 8th French Army, was sent into battle against the German Army near the Belfort district. After running out of ammunition in the exhausting battle, most of the soldiers of the division managed to break through to Switzerland, where they were interned. During the internment the soldiers were engaged to do many different kinds of work. In designated internment camps, they were allowed to continue their education which they began before the outbreak of the Second World War. In their free time, soldier took up different kinds of physical activity. The most popular were skiing and table tennis. Mountain tourism and mountaineering were common as well and Polish soldiers were quite successful in that field. Polish soldiers gained significant support from the Young Men's Christian Association, which provided them with sports equipment. Conclusion. Despite difficult living condition, Polish soldiers interned in Switzerland in the years 1940–1945, they went in for skiing, mountaineering and mountain touring.
Topsoil properties were studied in a ski slope at Petrovy kameny, Hruby Jesenik Mts. Effect of skiing was combined with a complex slope gradient, which comprised effects of vegetation type and soil horizons. Soil sorption complex and humification properties were expected to reflect both factors. Cation exchange capacity and to some degree saturation of adsorption complex were systematically lowered due to ski slope, and they were influenced also by vegetation type. C:N reflected vegetation type, but it reflected skiing only indirectly. The slope gradient significantly affected the soil sorption complex, yet contrary to our expectations. Several possible interpretations include species traits (litter decomposability, nutrient uptake) and patterns of topsoil horizon types, which can be associated to the history of the upper treeline.
Introduction. The present study aimed to examine snowboarders’ motives, constraints and place attachment levels with reference to their chosen skiing resort. Furthermore, the study aimed to check whether place attachment can predict snowboarders’ intention to continue participating in the activity. Material and Methods. The study sample consisted of two hundred and eighty snowboarders (n = 280). The leisure constraints and place attachment questionnaires were used. Results. The results of the study indicated that the feeling of excitement, fun and enjoyment were the most important motives, while the financial dimension had the highest mean score on the scale of constraints followed by the facilities/services (4.9) dimension. In terms of the “place attachment” construct, the place dependence factor had the highest mean score. Finally, the place dependence dimension offered the most signifi cant contribution to the prediction of behavioral intentions (t = 5.09, p < 0.001), followed by place identity (t = 2.32, p < 0.05). Conclusions. The theoretical and applied implications of these results are discussed.
Jaworzyna Mountain forests of the law have granted protected status as a spa forests and forests in protected zones around the spas, as well as protective forests intakes and sources of water. In addition, forests are located in the Natura 2000 site "Popradzka refuge" and the Poprad Landscape Park. As part of the 24 sample plots laid out. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of runs No. I, II and IV of the ski station Jaworzyna Krynicka SA of the surrounding stand. Performed on them, inter alia, assess damage to trees, an assessment of the X-rays of trees, an assessment of the damage to the tree canopy deciduous beech mainly by Roloff classification It was noticed a significant: change in the number of trees in the areas of research; changes in the species composition; large variation in the abundance of forest stands; increase in X-ray conifer crowns; an increase in damage to the crowns of beech in all areas of research; — inventoried damage is primarily shallow wounds and abrasion bark — wounds on trees can also be a place of infection fungal pathogens; Edges of slopes and point taken for the gondola should be reforested as soon as possible to create a forest edge.
