Five electronic databases (PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database / PEDro, Google Scholar, Science Direct and Scopus) were searched. From 115 selected records authors presented various therapeutic and prophylactic options, such as: manual therapies, exercises to strengthen the muscles stabilizing the lumbar spine, stretching exercises, yoga, pilates, the possibility of using orthopedic equipment, learning appropriate work ergonomics, maintaining the correct body posture, elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy and various types of multidisciplinary programs combining individual elements. 8 scientific papers were qualified for the final analysis. Then, the selected articles were assigned to particular levels of physioprophylaxis (described in the resolution of the National Council of Physiotherapists of May 2019). The timely physiotherapeutic and physioprophylactic measures have been found effective and may be helpful in the recovery process and back pain reduction.

The FIFA 11 program was designed and introduced for the team of footballers and its goal was reduction of injuries in footballers. Moreover, the FIFA 11 warm up program introduced in the group of teenage footballers can contribute to improvement of body balance and “Y” test results. Therefore, the main goal of this paper was assessment of FIFA 11 program effectiveness in improvement of „Y” balance test in the sample of teen­age footballers. \u0000Material and methods. 30 subjects were selected for the study and the sample was next randomly divided into 2 equal groups: the experimental group and the control group. The participants’ age ranged from 16 to17 years. In order to assess body balance the test was performed twice prior to FIFA11 warm up program an on completion of the 10-weeks’ workout program. Next, the competitors’ body balance was assessed using „Y” test. In the experimental group, the competitors participated in FIFA warm up program instead of doing standard warm up.\u0000Results. The results indicate body balance improvement in the teenager footballers after the 10-day FIFA 11 program, and the “Y” test revealed an improvement of dynamic balance (the right and left lower limbs, mean forward movement p<0.05 and the overall result p<0.05). Moreover, the applied FIFA 11 program contributed to improvement of the total normalized value (as compared with the result of the first test) and the final assessment of 50% of participants (as compared with the first study) revealed that the total result obtained in the experimental group during “Y” test was above 89.6%.\u0000Conclusions. The 10 day FIFA 11 program contributed to the improvement of selected parameters of “Y” balance test in teenage football players. Moreover, the introduced FIFA 11 program contributed to the improvement of the normalized value obtained in “Y” test, which was above 89.6%.

The study involved 414 women aged 18 to 30. For comparison purposes, they were divided into three groups. Group 1 (n=56) were women practising judo or ju-jitsu. Group 2 (n=166) were persons practising other types of regular physical activity and Group 3 (n=192) included those who did not engage in organized physical activity of any kind.

The total score of the intensity of health behaviours achieved by amateur athletes practising combat sports and martial arts was higher than the results of the other groups (p<0.01). \u0000Conclusion. Women practising martial arts were characterized by a high overall index of health behaviours – they more often paid attention to correct eating habits and preventive health behaviours, among others.

Firefighter profession is characterized by a high level of risk due to the threat, mainly related to rescue and fire extinguishing, workouts, training and other actions. They result from the firefighters’s duties and affect the health and life of the firefighters on duty. The aim of the study was to assess the specificity of injuries in the State (SFB) and Volunteer Fire Brigade (VFB), assessment of the cumulation of health-related behaviors based on the Modified Inventory of Behaviors by Juszczynski, and the effect of the cumulated behaviors on the injury rate, both in the State and Volunteer Fire Brigades. \u0000Material and methods. The sample included the occupationally active firefighters from the Volunteer Fire Brigade in the Opole and Lower Silesia voivodeships. The applied approach involved the application of an anonymous questionnaire filled out by volunteers participating in the study. The questionnaire included basic data on their service (State or Volunteer Fire Brigade), age, gender and the presence or absence of contusions, and a possible form of treatment to be applied. Moreover, the Modified Inventory of Health-Related Behaviors by Juszczynski was applied. The questionnaire contained 18 statements describing health-related behaviors.\u0000Results. The comparison of the results corresponding to physical activity among the firefighters from the State and Volunteer Fire Brigade indicates that all the firefighters from the State Fire Brigade were physically active. In the case of the Volunteer Fire Brigade (VFB) there were 20 firefighters including 6 firefighters who did not practice any form of physical activity. In State Fire Brigade (SFB) there were 29 firefighters who had sustained contusion and 5 healthy ones. In both groups, the subjects most often sustained contusions while performing other types of physical activity than rescue and fire fighting actions. The majority of firefighters (16 in SFB and 11 in VFB) sustained joint sprain. Despite the numerous fire extinguishing interventions, the cases of burns poisoning are rare. The results also suggest that the surveyed firefighters neglect the recommended dietary habits and rest. \u0000Conclusions. 1. The results indicate no statistically significant differences between SFB and VFB membership and the circumstances of injuries sustained. 2. The membership in SFG and VFB has an effect on undertaking physical activities, however, it has no effect on injuries/contusions. 3.

Auto-massage with the use of special rollers is now a popular form of biological regeneration in sport. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the proposed scheme (me­thodology) of myofascial auto-release on changes in the pain threshold within selected muscle trigger points in professional basketball players.\u0000Material and methods. The research was carried out on 20 basketball players of the 2nd Men's Ba­sketball League. The average age of the respondents was 23.35 ± 4.3 years. The study included 4 training units in one week. Pain sensation threshold was measured using the Pain Test FPX Algometer (Wagner). Measurements were taken on the first and last day of the tests according to the scheme: before and after training, and after rolling. The pain threshold was examined on the following trigger points of the muscles: descending and ascending part of trapezius muscle, levator scapula, rectus femoris muscle, tensor fascia lataeand the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. The subjects rolled the areas of ​​the above-mentioned muscles 4 days after training (each time for a total of 10 minutes), according to a standardized schedule. \u0000Results and conclusions. Based on the obtained results, it was found that the proposed self-massage regimen performed immediately after basketball training had a significant effect on changes in the pain threshold in some muscle areas. Significant differences were observed on the first day of the study in the descending part of the trapezius muscle and the levator scapulae on the left side (p <0.05). After the entire 4-day rolling session, significant differences were found in the pain threshold on the levator scapulae muscle on both sides of the spine (p = 0.03). An important trend was noted regarding the majority of the examined muscle points, after the self-massage by rolling, the pain threshold increased (muscle pain sensitivity decreased). According to the subjective opinion, the majority of basketball players (90%) consider rolling to be an effective method of post-workout regeneration and see the need for systematic use of this form of auto-massage. According to the vast majority of competitors, the presented method of rolling resulted in an improvement in post-workout regeneration (85%) and a reduction in muscle stiffness (60%).
