Journal Title: Health Problems of Civilization - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Background. Physical activity of the prison staff is an important condition of their proper functioning. Material and methods. The research was conducted in April 2015 among 100 of 119 prison staff members from the Biała Podlaska Prison. A diagnostic survey method with the use of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) extended with questions about the free time and self-evaluation of the physical fitness has been used. Results. A satisfactory level of physical activity among the researched staff members was noted. A factor which visibly diversified higher physical activity level was the higher index of self-evaluation of the physical fitness. The amount of leisure time, age, education, or the BMI indicator were not noted to have any influence on this dependency. Conclusions. It should be assumed that the main factor conditioning physical activity of prison staff is their awareness of the role of physical activity as a means to keep a good health.
