Data on the relationship between personality traits and athletes' level of sportsmanship are not sufficiently documented. Therefore, it is reasonable to look for differences in personality traits between athletes from different levels: amateur, competitive and professional, as these groups of athletes function differently on a daily basis. Therefore, the aim of this article was to gain knowledge about the relationship between personality traits and the sporting level of athletes. The experiment examined male and female athletes (N = 119) aged 19-34, including 100 Polish professional athletes: 30 basketball players, 40 football players, 30 kyokushin style karate competitors; and 19 professional athletes (among them were the elite: 3 Olympic medallists): 4-person Polish Biathlon Team, 7-person Polish Luge Team, 8-person Swiss Mountain Bike (MTB) Team. The NEO-FFI Personality Questionnaire was used. Analyses were performed with the IBM SPSS Statistics 29.0 package at a statistical significance of α = 0.05. Significant differences were found in comparisons between groups of athletes: football players and karate competitors (in severity of neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness), football players and basketball players (in severity of neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, conscientiousness), football players and lugers (in severity of agreeableness), football players and mountain bikers (in severity of neuroticism). One significant difference was noted in the comparisons between athletes from different levels: competitive athletes had higher neuroticism severity than elite athletes. A weak and negative correlation between neuroticism and sporting levels was verified. But no correlation was shown between personality traits and the likelihood of becoming a professional. It was concluded that the observed differences between the studied groups of athletes could be derived from the specifics of the different sports. The elite are characterised by a lower intensity of neuroticism in relation to the competitive athletes, which can be seen in the relationship: the lower the neuroticism, the higher the sporting level.

This paper deals with karate activity in the areas of physical culture in the broad sense. It is a concise and clear approach to the topic, which aimed to conceptualise the inclusion of karate in areas of physical culture as a contemporarily attractive physical activity. Karate was described here as a combat sport, martial art, and self-defence system in the following areas of physical culture: physical education, physiotherapy, recreation, sports, and tourism. Reference here was made to physical activity focused on bunkai (circuit interpretation exercises), kata (circuit exercises), kihon (technical exercises), and kumite (combat exercises). It has been determined that practitioners' involvement in karate culture affects their level of sense of coherence. In addition, the conditioning for using karate in physical culture to the maintenance of health was mentioned. Here, reference was made to the perceptual perspective of the bodily and mental practice of karate for health. It has been established that this can be effective by adopting only the objectives of karate as martial art. Based on the above, it was concluded that practising karate is present in all areas of physical culture as combat sport, martial art, and self-defence system, but practising karate only as martial art provides opportunities for maintenance of health.

V roce 2023 uplyne přesně 100 let od prvního celoplošného národního testování úrovně tělesné zdat- nosti u mládeže na území tehdejšího Československa. V kontextu této zcela unikátní a neopakovatelné příležitosti se naskýtá možnost zjištění objektivně změřených sekulárních trendů tělesné zdatnosti v našich zemích. Cíle: Hlavním cílem projektu je na základě nám známé historické metodiky realizovat s odstupem 100 let plošné objektivní testování úrovně tělesné zdatnosti u 11–19leté mládeže na území tehdejšího Československa a výsledné hodnoty komparovat s původní studií. Záměrem tohoto článku je pak představit design výzkumu včetně podrobné metodiky. Metodika: Metodika opakovaného testování úrovně tělesné zdatnosti je redukovaná, nicméně je připravena v souladu s dřívější historickou metodikou. Studie bude realizována na výzkumném souboru 11–19letých jedinců vybraných z předpokládaného finálního počtu 20 zapojených škol (15 českých a 5 slovenských škol). Školy budou vyselektovány stratifikovaným výběrem z dochovaného historického seznamu původně zúčastněných škol. Testování bude obsahovat celkem 3 somatická měření (tělesná výška celková, tělesná výška vsedě a tělesná hmotnost) a 5 motorických testů (skok do dálky z místa, hod malým míčkem do dálky z místa, shyby na pevném nářadí ze svisu, rychlostní běh a vytrvalostní běh). Sběr dat je naplánován na období přesně odpovídajícímu 100 letům od prvotního výzkumu (březen až duben 2023). Výsledky: Výsledky přispějí mimo jiné k přesnému stanovení důkazně podložených dlouhodobých trendů tělesné zdatnosti u naší mladé populace. Závěry: Představený design studie uvádí kromě racionále, cíle, předpokládaných výstupů i detailní metodiku výzkumu, která je zacílena na zjištění objektivně změřených 100letých trendů tělesné zdatnosti u mládeže na našem území. Výzkumný projekt zároveň přispěje ke zvýšení informovanosti odborné i široké veřejnosti o dané problematice.
In 2023, exactly 100 years will pass since the first nationwide testing of the physical fitness level among youth in the territory of the former Czechoslovakia. In the context of this completely unique and unrepeatable opportunity, there is the possibility of finding objectively measured secular trends in physical fitness in our countries. Objective: The main objective of the project is, based on the historical methods known to us, to implement a comprehensive objective testing of the physical fitness level among 11-19-year-old youth in the territory of the former Czechoslovakia with an interval of 100 years and to compare the results with the original study. The purpose of this article is to present the research design including detailed methods. Methods: The methods of repeated testing of the physical fitness level are reduced, however, it is prepared in accordance with the earlier historical methods. The study will be carried out on a research group of 11-19-year-old individuals selected from the expected final number of 20 participating schools (15 Czech and 5 Slovak schools). The schools will be selected by a stratified selection from the preserved historical list of originally participating schools. The testing will include a total of 3 somatic measurements (body height, sitting height and body weight) and 5 motor tests (standing broad jump, standing small ball throw, pull-ups, speed run and endurance run). Data collection is planned for a period exactly corresponding to 100 years from the initial research (March to April 2023). Results: Among other things, the results will contribute to the accurate determination of evidence-based long-term trends in physical fitness in our youth population. Conclusions: The presented design of the study introduces, in addition to the rationale, goals, expected outputs, detailed research methods, which are aimed at finding objectively measured 100-year trends in physical fitness among youth in our territory. At the same time, the research project will contribute to increasing the awareness of experts and the public about the given area.
