Political and social transformations in Poland two
decades ago brought about profound changes in the life
quality, including leisure time and the modes of its use
by Polish population. Various social groups exhibit diverse
patterns of free-time sport and recreational activities
and data regarding teachers are disquieting – about
70% of various categories of teachers declare practicing
no recreational activities whatever [5].
The aim of this study was thus to assess the participation
of teaching staff of one of private university-level
colleges – The Maria Skłodowska-Curie Warsaw School
in sports, motor activities and tourism. That knowledge
would be of importance as the motor habits and behaviours
of university teaching staff might be followed by a
large proportion of young people [6]
