The purpose of the research: stating the significance of knowledge and contact with suffering people as well as of personal experience and religiosity in the process of shaping the approved school youths’ attitudes towards suffering. The material under investigation and methods: 64 minors, their ages varying from 16 to 18, were subjected to prospective psychological investigation. It was conducted using an “attitude-toward-suffering questionnaire” prepared by the Religion Psychology Institute of the Pontifical University of John Paul II. The test consists of 30 independent questions, each one of them assessed separately. The results were compared with those of the control group of 50 non-pathological environment minors of similar ages. This part’s focus was only the questions resulting in answers different in each group – the one under investigation and the control group. The results and conclusions: The results indicate that the pathological environment youths are reluctant to talk about suffering – 79,6% of them have either hardly ever or never taken up such topics. 62,5% of the approved school minors were unable to state the factor with the most influence on their attitudes towards suffering. 75% of the borstal youths do not think about their suffering at all, with the opposition of 15,6% of them often thinking about their suffering. 59,4% of these borstal youths associate suffering with despair of depression, but 40,6% of them perceive suffering “somatically”. The conducted study has shown that approved schools youths’ attitudes toward suffering are discrepant from those of youths raised in normal families.

Purpose: The balance, known as the ability to independently maintain the body in a certain position and return to the starting position, can be divided into static and dynamic balances. Social Latin American dances (salsa, bachata) require dancers to do a characteristic figure, however, they are not trained as intensively as dancing sports. The aim of the study was to assess the static and dynamic balances of dancers, who are regularly dancing those selected Latin American dances, by comparison with those who do not. Methods: The study was conducted among 34 dancers from a Krakow Dancing School and, 37 students of the Jagiellonian University, aged 21–35. A SIGMA balance platform was used to measure static and, the Y-Balance Test platform to assess dynamic balance. The Student’s T-test, MannWhitney U-test and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were used in statistical analysis. Results: There were neither significant differences between right and left lower limbs of dancers, nor between values of tilts on the YBT platform in both investigated groups. Non-dancers, however, showed a slightly higher positive correlation between the deviations in the sagittal and frontal planes and the surface area, as well as between the path length and the surface area on the SIGMA platform when compared to dancers. Conclusions: The level of dynamic and static balances of dancing people is similar, when compared to non-dancers. The influence of practicing Latin American dances on the sense of balance require further studies.

The aim of the study was to find out whether among young active people – the future healthcare professionals – there is a risk of developing lumbar spine overload disease depending on the occurrence of the disbalance of paravertebral muscles and to assess the fatigue of the examined muscles depending on the body position during the work. Methods: The study involved 50 randomly selected students of physiotherapy and emergency medical services of a mean age of 21 years. The surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to measure the activity level of spinal extensors of the cervical and lumbar spine. The statistical analysis of the results was made using the RStudio software. Results: Study shows that the majority of the examined students had a slight asymmetry between the bioelectric activity of the right- and left-side dorsal extensor bands, both in the cervical and lumbar sections (right side 118.6 Hz / left side 115.7 Hz / extension and 98.6 Hz / 95.5 Hz /flexion). Depending on the position, significant fatigue in the examined muscles was found ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: The experiment showed a slight disbalance in the average bioelectromyographic activity in the area of spinal extensors during their symmetrical work. This can be the basis for the development of the overload disease in the weaker muscle parts, which generate more fatigue during the activity. It is worth to carry out similar tests in a much greater group, taking the longer-lasting muscular effort into account.
