This article deals with the issue of Relative Age Effect (RAE), which enables the exploration of differences and links between the expected and observed distribution of birth date of athletes based on their date of birth. It is expected that into the elite choice are chosen athletes, who were born in the beginning of the year. Therefore, athletes born in last months of year are disadvantaged. In this article, RAE was tes-ted by the means of chi-squared test in Goodness-of-fit test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Afterwards, Cramer’s V was used for more accurate estimation of a potency of the association between expected and observed distribution. By the usage of methods previously mentioned it was found out that in selected sport clubs, the results of RAE are not statistically confirmed, however, different connections, which cannot be left unnoticed, were observed. In the conclusion, there is stated that even though it is not obvious on the fleeting glance, the junior category in more influenced by RAE than the senior category. This fact is as such affected also by the nature of shotgun shooting, it emphasizes overall physical condition and physique rather than separate physical and age details of a shooter.

The article deals with the issue of fear of falls in wheelchair users and the change in fall concerns after completing a self-defense course. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a self-defense course for wheelchair users on their fear of falls. To collect data we used a questionnaire and participant ob-servation in the lessons of self-defense for wheelchair users. The participants filled in the questionnaires at the beginning and at the end of the course. The results show that the course of self-defense has an effect on wheelchair users’ fear of falls. This effect differs depending on the type of disability of the participant and on the level of self-confidence. We can claim that the participants with a low level of fear at the beginning of the course this attitude has shifted slightly and they became more aware of potential threats. On the contrary, the participants whose level of fear was high, those fears were reduced and their attitude towards a potential fall is slightly more relaxed.
