The aim of the study was to check the relationship between individual personality traits and the subjective assessment of the weight of tennis players. Material and methods. Personality assessment was performed using the NEO-FFI questionnaire, subjective assessment of body weight was made using a questionnaire. 15 tennis players aged 19.13 years ± 2.97 participated in the tests. Results. The research showed that all tennis players are characterized by low levels of neuroticism, average level of extraversion, average level of openness to experience, low level of agreeableness and high level of conscientiousness. The study showed the lack of connection between the level of neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness and the subjective assessment of the weight of tennis players. Conclusions. Tennis players are a very uniform group in terms of personality, which may indicate the specificity of the discipline, which in a specific way affects the formation of personality. The lack of connection between personality and body weight may result from a small sample of the tested female players. Key words: sport psychology, psychodietetics, dietetics, body mass, tennis

The purpose of the study was to determine the personality profile of athletes practising endurance disciplines – an individual one and a team one. The five-factor NEO-FFI personality inventory was used. The study involved senior-age men (N=60) engaged in the competitive practice of long-distance running (n=30) and football (n=30). It was demonstrated that long-distance runners are characterised by an average level of neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience and agreeableness and a high level of conscientiousness, while football players are different from the former, to a statistically significant degree, with regard to neuroticism and extraversion (higher in football players) and conscientiousness (higher in runners). The personality profile of long-distance runners differs from that of football players. The biggest discrepancies were revealed on the conscientiousness scale. A significant impact of the sport discipline practised on the personality profile of athletes was confirmed.

The aim of the research was to measure the reaction of the body posture control system to a slight change of the position of the examined person in relation to the floor. The measurements were done with the examined person's eyes opened and closed in order to check the influence of a visual signal on the reaction of the body posture control system while changing the height of the position. The author tried to define if the basic anthropometric parameters have any influence on the reaction of the body posture control system with a slight change of height. The acquired results were compared with the results obtained in a classical test interfering the body control of people who both train and do not train judo professionally. Some basic differences were described and some regularities were found. In the conclusion the perspective of further research was presented. Celem badań było zmierzenie reakcji systemu kontroli postawy ciała na niewielką zmianę położenia osoby badanej względem podłoża. Pomiary przeprowadzono przy oczach otwartych i zamkniętych celem sprawdzenia wpływu sygnału wizyjnego na reakcję systemu kontroli ciała przy zmianie wysokości położenia. Starano się określić czy podstawowe parametry antropometryczne mają wpływ na reakcje systemu kontroli postawy ciała przy niewielkiej zmianie wysokości. Uzyskane wyniki skonfrontowano z wynikami uzyskanymi w klasycznym teście zakłócającym kontrolę ciała u osób nie trenujących oraz trenujących wyczynowo judo. Opisano podstawowe różnice i znalezione prawidłowości, a w zakończeniu przedstawiono perspektywę dalszych badań.
