Life Itself

Background: ‪The quality of life of people with disabilities is the result of many factors. Apart from health, functional and mental parameters, it is determined by several social conditions. This approach, however, concerns an objective perspective, apart from which there is also a subjective perspective. This is an internal approach that affects the sense of the quality of life, to a limited extent referring to the quality of life itself. Therefore, it can be assumed that the subjective views on the quality of life will be determined by the location in the social context, an example of which is sport activity. The aim of the research was to find out the opinions of disabled athletes about the quality of life in the context of their participation in various forms of physical activities. Material and methods: The research analysis was conducted on 107 disabled athletes and 19 disabled non-athletes. A diagnostic survey method was used with a questionnaire technique. The research tool was the Quality of Life Index, an American scale which belongs to the global category of scales and is composed of a series of questions referring to different areas of life. Results: ‪The results of the survey did not confirm more positive opinions about the quality of life among disabled athletes. The differences between the groups turned out to be statistically insignificant in most cases. Conclusions: ‪Since most of the research results to date indicate a positive impact of regular physical activity on self-esteem and the quality of life, it seems necessary to explore this problem on a larger research sample of people with disabilities.

The Impact

The present research paper aims to identify the impact of sport activity on the quality of life of Saudi women (i.e., fitness and health, social aspects, psychological aspects, moral aspects, and mental aspects). It also aims to develop mechanisms to activate the sport activity to improve the quality of life of Saudi women. The sample consisted of (N= 384) Saudi women in Riyadh. The author applied a questionnaire to collect data. The results showed that sport activity has a high impact on fitness and the psychological and moral aspects and a high to moderate impact on the social and mental aspects of the Saudi woman. The study recommends activating the media role in disseminating sport culture and awareness among (children- teenager- elderly) women by publishing a sport activity supervised-bulletin to cover the sport activities, objectives, programs, as well as time and place of practice. In turn, this could promote positive aspects towards the practice of sport activities.   Received: 29 March 2021 / Accepted: 26 May 2021 / Published: 8 July 2021

Abstract In Poland, the last 15 years have been marked by various, numerous regeneration projects of historic cities that were supposed to improve the citizens quality of life and their security, as well as to create an attractive tourist offer. Those programs were often focused on the renewal, reshape and modernization of public squares. Such changes never go unnoticed. On contrary, these are frequently associated with criticism, debate and disagreements. The research has been focused on the analysis of regeneration projects from selected Market Squares in historic cities and town centres in Lower Silesia. The main aim was to exhibit the medieval origin of those squares and recently introduced contemporary layout. Moreover it was to present diverse opinions regarding square’s form and function, that can be crucial in understanding the architects, planners and citizens’ points of view and their ‘feelings’ towards the space.

The Impact

The link between psoriasis and sport is a controversial issue. The topic has been poorly investigated, and nowadays there are many unsolved questions, dealing with the role of psoriasis in influencing the sporting habits of patients and, vice versa, the impact of sport activity on course, severity and extent of the disease, with particular regard to the indirect benefits on cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome. Moreover, the role of physical activity on patients’ quality of life and the potential limitations on physical activity due to joint involvement have not been well elucidated until now. In this narrative review we will try to provide answers to these queries.

SummaryThe aim of the study was to compare the satisfaction with quality of life indicators (QoLI) and quality of life domains (QoLD) scores between people with physical disabilities (PPD) and people who are deaf or hard of hearing (PD/HH) from sport participation point of view. The study included 315 individuals with PPD (n = 150; male = 76) and PD/HH (n = 165; male = 85) divided into two groups of those who are regularly participating in sport and those who are not participating in any sport activity in their leisure. The second part of the Subjective Quality of Life Analysis (S.QUA.L.A.) was used. The Pearson chi-square test was used to determine the differences in 23 QoLI and 5 QoLD between PPD and PD/HH from sport participation point of view and student’s two-sample t-test was used to compare overall quality of life (QoL). We found that PD/HH who are participating regularly in sport presented significantly higher satisfaction with 7 evaluated QoLI and with all 5 QoLD. Overall QoL score was significantly higher (p < .01) in PD/HH. In the group of people who are not participating in sport we found significantly higher satisfaction with 13 QoLI in PD/HH and with 8 QoLI in PPD. Satisfaction with 4 QoLD was significantly higher in PD/HH and only with domain (physical health) were significantly higher satisfied PPD (p < .01). Overall QoL score did not show significant differences between groups of people with disabilities who are not participating in any sport. The results of our study confirmed that PD/HH have significantly higher QoL comparing PPD no matter if they participating in sport or not. This evaluation measured by S.QUA.L.A shows that it is a suitable tool to asses QoL in people with different kinds of disabilities.

La Educación física tiene una relación directa con cuatro de las nueve dimensiones que componen la Calidad de Vida (Eurostat, 2013): salud, educación, ocio y relaciones sociales y bienestar subjetivo. La Educación física aparece como un elemento fundamental para indicadores importantes en la medición de la calidad de vida, de presente y de futuro. Y es que la Educación física puede proporcionar una socialización adecuada en hábitos saludables, patrones de conducta relacionales y mejor autopercepción del bienestar a niños y jóvenes que no son “objetos” de estudio, sino sujetos activos y participantes, como nos plantea la nueva sociología de la infancia. La nueva sociología de la infancia es una subdisciplina de la sociología (de la educación física y del deporte) que estudia la realidad holística de la vida de los niños y jóvenes. En este sentido, también analiza elementos fundamentales de su calidad de vida presente, en relación con ellos mismos. La metodología mixta es una opción global y completa que se presenta como opción muy adecuada en diversos tipos de investigaciones que aúnan salud, educación y aspectos sociales y culturales. Las conclusiones muestran cómo desde la Educación Física y mediante la metodología mixta (encuestas, entrevistas, grupos de discusión, etnografía e investigación-acción), se puede analizar de manera más completa algunos de los indicadores de calidad de vida entre niños y jóvenes, en relación con ellos mismos y en planteamientos intergeneracionales, de presente (de los propios niños y jóvenes “aquí y ahora”) y de futuro (cuestiones estructurales de base socioeducativa).Abstract: Physical Education has a direct relationship with four of the nine dimensions that constitute Quality of life (Eurostat, 2013): health, education, leisure and social relationships, and personal welfare. The New Sociology of Childhood is a sub-discipline of Sociology (of Physical Education) that explores children’s and young people’s life in a holistically manner. Physical Education appears as a fundamental element for measuring quality of life. Thus, Physical Education can provide children and youth with positive socialization into healthy habits, relational patterns and better self-perception of welfare: they are not 'objects' of research, but they are active “subjects”. In this sense, this sub-discipline also analyses key elements of quality of life as well as it studies their relation with each other. Mixed methodology is a suitable methodology in different types of research about health, education and socio-cultural aspects. The outcomes show how Physical Education (through Mixed methodology: surveys, interviews, discussion groups, ethnography and action-research) can analyse children’s and youth’s indicators of quality of life, both in relation with each other and in intergenerational approaches, looking at the Present (children and young, "here and now") and at the Future (structural issues from socio-educational basis).
