Abstract

Halina Zdebska-Biziewska was a person connected with sport and involved in popularising physical culture. Her activity, energy and diligence inspired others. In her life, she was guided by the “Fair Play” rule. She was a valued professor and researcher. H. Zdebska-Biziewska showed that the essence of sport is not only its pragmatic side, but also the axiology associated with it, because the philosophical theory of values allows to perceive sport as a source and transmission of many values. H. Zdebska-Biziewska, as an open, friendly and respected person, was a valuable fi gure in the development of Polish Olympism and the Kraków UPE (the University of Physical Education in Kraków). This publication aims to present the profi le of professor Halina Zdebska-Biziewska, who was not only a valued researcher, but also acted socially to promote physical culture in the country and abroad.
