- Abstract
Introduction. Practicing sports is connected not only with the regular training, but also with the working out proper nutrition habits, sleep hygiene and prophylaxis of seasonal illnesses. The aim of this work was the estimation of health-related behaviours among young male practitioners of judo compared to non-sports men. Material and methods. The research was conducted on 120 men aged 17-35 years, practicing judo (n=75) and the nonsports ones (n=45). In comparative aims the examined men were divided into groups where the criteria accepted were: the age, training advancement, the sports-level and the frequency of trainings. The investigative tool was the Inventory of Health-Related Behaviour by Juczyński (where the behaviours are rated in four categories: eating habits, prophylaxis behaviours, and positive attitude and health practices. Differences between the data were qualified with the T-student test for independent groups, where the level p≤0.05 was accepted as of minimum significance one. Results. The level of declared behaviours and health-related activities among the examined judokas was on the average level (the value of the HRB indicator for the whole group was 77.11). Statistically higher (p<0.05) level of health-related behaviours was noted in the group of judokas. Taking into account the division into subgroups, the greatest difference (p<0.05) in the value of general indicator of health-related behaviours was observed comparing the competitors according to their sports-level. Furthermore, the essential differences were observed between the juniors and the seniors - within the range of prophylaxis behaviours and positive attitude, between the medallists and the non-medallists - within the range of nutritional habits and positive attitude. Conclusions. It was proved that competitors of a higher sports-level had been characterized with the higher level of healthrelated behaviours. Therefore health-related education seems legitimate also among sportsmen, first of all on the initial, comprehensive stage of the instruction.
