Aim The aim of this paper is the assessment of eating habits of high school students from grades 2 and 3, including eating habits, self-evaluation of diet and the most common nutrition mistakes committed by the members of the studied group. Materials and methodology The study involved 333 high school students between the age of 17 and 19. The group consisted of 150 girls and 183 boys. Data was collected using an original survey which consisted of questions dealing with diet and respondent’s particulars. The study was anonymous. The results have been subjected to statistical analysis using Pearson’s chi-squared test. The statistical differences recognized as significant were those with probability of p<0.05 Results The majority reaching nearly 40% of respondents declared that they eat 4 meals a day. Over 60% eat breakfast every day. The number of students who declared that they do not eat breakfast at all amounted to 48. Over 55% do not pay attention to their eating habits, whereas 45 students consider them unhealthy. About 60% of respondents declare that they do not drink energy drinks. Within the group of students who consume such drinks the most often declared frequency was 1-2 times a week. The answers, however, vary between the female and the male group (chi-square=82.72121, p≤0,05); 75% of males do not consume energy drinks, among females the percentage amounts to mere 43%. Conclusions The students taking part in the study commit nutrition mistakes which might be a sign of unsufficient level of health education within that field. The nutritional education of the youth should start in primary school and be adapted to the needs and possibilities of the target group. In the face of poor diet, it seems justified to analyze the sources of information on nutrition used by the youth in terms of their credibility.

No library is self - efficient and capable to accomplish the tasks set to it by itself. Since none of the libraries can satisfy various needs of its users by itself, for it does not possess sufficient funds nor space for collecting all necessary materials. Thus, the collaboration of libraries in different areas and in various forms is one of the factors enabling the optimization of library activities as well as the improvement in the quality of services offered. One of the examples of interlibrary collaboration undertaken by the Library of the Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Vocational Education in Biała Podlaska, are interlibrary loans and interlibrary exchange of publications.
Purpose: This paper presents the results of a comparative and dependency analysis between physical activity, joy of physical activity and quality of life in female high school students with different levels of sport performance. Methods: The survey was attended by (n = 560) 16–19 years old high-school students. The quality of life was monitored using the modified SQUALA questionnaire, the joy of physical activity using the PACES questionnaire and the level of physical activity during the week in hours (PA). The data are presented by means of descriptive characteristics (n, M, SD) and statistical significance and dependencies respectively are assessed using nonparametric methods (W, U, rs) on significance levels (p < ,10; p < ,05 and p < ,01). Results: The results of the dependency analysis did not show a large number of interactions between the PA, PACES and SQUALA among high-school female students. We found the interactions between the PA and PACES or SQUALA sporadically in groups of girls with the different levels of sports, where positive interactions predominated. PA in the week is positively correlated with PACES (rs = ,218, p < ,10) only in registered female athletes. Positive interactions between PACES and SQUALA can be found in top female athletes (material well-being p < ,10; education p < ,05; free time p < ,01) and in occasional female athletes (physical well-being p < ,20; psychosocial well-being p < ,20; appearance and ownership of things p < ,20). Conclusions: The results confirm the importance of voluntary and organized physical activity in the life of high-school students, who have the potential to increase the level of satisfaction with activity.The paper was published from the grant of the Ministry of Education KEGA 003 UKF-4/2016.
The objective of the study was to assess the status of physical education at different levels of school education in rural and urban areas of Przemyśl County. The study included physical education teachers working in primary, middle and high schools. The analysis showed that most of the schools in the city have better conditions for the implementation of obligatory physical education classes. In addition, most teachers complain about conditions in schools. According to physical education teachers, combined classes, lack of equipment and appropriate sports base are the most common causes of making it impossible for them to accomplish the program of physical education in schools in the Przemyśl County.
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).
The aim of the study is to present BMI values of high school students and to show its correlation with chosen variables. In total, the examination comprised 386 high school students from Lublin aged 15-20 years. Underweight was found in 57 (14.77%), norm in 292 (75.6%), overweight in 17 (4.4%), obesity in 6 (1.55%), lack of up-to-date data in 14 (3.6%) cases. No significant differences were found between BMI value depending on the number of consumed meals, standard of accommodation and of living, declared general attitude to health, possibility of direct influence of the subjects on the quality of meals, kind of preferred way of alimentation, motivation for a change of the way of nutrition and declared factors affecting nutrition of examined high school students.
W okresie zimowo-wiosennym roku 1988 i 1996 przeprowadzono badania ankietowe w oparciu o 24-godzinny wywiad żywieniowy. Oceniano sposób odżywiania poznańskich studentów, biorąc pod uwagę podaż podstawowych składników pokarmowych. Stwierdzono niewłaściwe relacje pomiędzy poszczególnymi składnikami, wyrażające się nadmiernym udziałem tłuszczów i sacharozy przy współistniejącym niedoborze białka. Nie wykazano istotnej poprawy w sposobie odżywiania studentów w roku 1996 w stosunku do roku 1988.
Celem badań była próba określenia postaw studentów rozpoczynających studia wobec wymogów zdrowego stylu życia, rozpatrywanych m.in. w aspekcie żywienia. W badaniach zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego. Materiał z badań stanowi 575 kwestionariuszy anonimowej ankiety; zebranych w roku akademickim 2008/2009 wśród studentów I roku czterech gdańskich uczelni. Z zebranego materialu wynika, że jedynie 9% ankietowanych regularnie spożywa trzy podstawowe posiłki, natomiast 31% respondentów nie spożywa żadnego z trzech podstawowych posiłków w miarę regularnie. Według studentów wśród przyczyn takiego stanu przeważają wiążące się z wymogami studiów. Do dojadania między posiłkami przyznało się 79% studentów, a wśród nich 65% czyni tak codziennie. Prawie połowa kobiet (46%) i 37% mężczyzn uzupełnia posiłki witaminami w tabletkach.
