The students' somatic health was examined according to the indicators of weight, lungs vital capacity, wrist dynamometry, heart rate, arterial blood pressure, Stange test and Genchi test. The mental health was assessed by method of "Well-being, activity and mood". Results:The experiments conducted within the EG revealed an improvement in all studied indicators of both somatic and mental health. At the end of the research, the vital index, the Robinson index, the Stange and Genchi tests, the level of somatic health, well-being, and mood in the EG were significantly better than in the CG. Conclusions: Regular swimming training sessions help to improve the health of female students of special medical groups in general, strengthen their musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems as well as increase metabolism.

Wstęp: Pływanie jest jedną z najpopularniejszych dyscyplin sportu uprawianych przez osoby niepełnosprawne, o czym może świadczyć wzrastająca liczba uczestnikow podczas kolejnych Igrzysk Paraolimpijskich (IP). Jednym ze sposobow oceny poziomu sportowego w danej dyscyplinie jest analiza wynikow z zawodow najwyższej rangi. Stąd celem pracy było porownanie wynikow sportowych, uzyskanych przez mężczyzn z niepełnosprawnością narządu ruchu w pływaniu w danej klasie startowej (1-10) na IP w latach 2000-2012. Materiał i metody: Analizie poddano wyniki uzyskane przez mężczyzn z niepełnosprawnością narządu ruchu w pływaniu wszystkimi stylami, na wszystkich dystansach rozgrywanych podczas IP w latach 2000-2012. Do oceny istotności rożnic pomiędzy wynikami uzyskanymi przez zawodnikow wykorzystano test U Manna Whitney'a. Przyjęto poziom istotności p<0,05. Wyniki: Zaobserwowano istotne statystycznie rożnice w poziomie (wzrost) uzyskiwanych wynikow we wszystkich klasach startowych w każdym ze stylow na rozgrywanych dystansach podczas kolejnych IP. Na przestrzeni 8 i 12 lat niemal wszystkie rożnice były istotne statystycznie. Taki kierunek zmian był najbardziej widoczny w przypadku zawodnikow z wyższych klas startowych (6-10). Wnioski: Na podstawie analizy rezultatow pracy zaobserwowano wzrost poziomu wynikow uzyskiwanych przez mężczyzn z niepełnosprawnością narządu ruchu w pływaniu. Może to świadczyć o dużym zainteresowaniu tą formą ruchu wśrod osob niepełnosprawnych, szczegolnie z mniejszym deficytem funkcjonalnym. Powinno się zwrocić uwagę na zwiększenie udziału w rywalizacji zawodnikow niskich klas startowych (1-5). Introduction: Swimming is one of the most popular sports practiced by people with disabilities, and the number of participants during the subsequent Paralympic Games (PG) increases. One way to assess the level of sports in a given discipline is to analyze the sports results of the athletes competing at the highest level. Hence, the purpose of analysis was to compare the results obtained by the athletes with locomotor disability in swimming in the starting class (1-10) on the PG in the years 2000-2012. Material and methods: Were analyzed the results obtained by men with locomotor disability in swimming all styles, on all distances during the PG in 2000-2012. To assess the significance of differences between the results obtained by the swimmers in the analyzed period the Mann-Whitney U test were used. The level of significance was set at p <0.05. Results: We observed statistically significant differences in the level (increase) of obtained results in all classes and styles, on distances played during the next PG. Throughout the 8 and 12 years, almost all differences were statistically significant. This direction of change was most evident in case of athletes from higher start classes (6-10). Conclusions: The results indicate a steady increase in the sports results of men with locomotor disability in swimming. It could be caused by much interest in this form of activity among people with disabilities, especially those with less functional deficit. Attention should be paid to increasing the share of the athletes from low-start classes (1-5). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
