Assessment of structural and functional changes taking place in the human motor system along with age. Determining the importance of recreational physical activity in counteracting negative changes in the locomotor system in the the aging process.
  2. Analysis of metabolic background of physical activity, exercise metabolism. Determining the hormonal and metabolic changes occurring with age and assessment of their significance for body function.
  3. Analysis of the mechanism of development of metabolic and hormonal disorders and assessment of the role of physical activity in counteracting their effects. Assessment of dietary needs and physical activity.
  4. Analysis of human biological needs, biological determinants of psychomotor performance and methods of assessing psychomotor performance.
  5. Searching for and identifying genetic determinants of sports talents, giving the possibility to direct people with predispositions to develop their natural physical abilities (motor, physiological and other).
  6. Analysis of the genetic background of the post-training response range of the athlete’s body and the rate of post-training regeneration, which allows the individualisation of the training process.
  7. Analysis the likelihood of an injury based on the presence of specific genetic risk factorsmin order to allow the introduction of appropriate prevention.
  8. The use of thermovision, anthropometric, biomechanical methods and diagnostic survey to assess functional morphology and quality of life of people in various physiological and pathological states. The research is conducted in cooperation with Prof. A. Łubkowska, Department of Health Sciences, Pomeranian Medical University.
  9. Analysis of morpho-functional characteristics (including somatotype, body composition, selected physiological parameters, hypermobility, muscle strength) and the quality of life of athletes practising various sports disciplines and people at various stages of ontogenesis undertaking physical activity in various physiological and pathological states.

  Historical and social conditions of physical activity and sport in the world and in Poland

  The team conducts research in the field of analysis of social aspects of physical activity and sport in historical terms, interprets social phenomena related to sport and determines their significance for the development of physical culture on a regional and global scale. It undertakes research to show the historical links and place of the Polish Olympic movement in the international Olympic movement, as well as to show the influence of the political situation on the development of physical culture in Poland and its place in the world. The team works on presenting comprehensive conditions for the development of physical education, sport, tourism and recreation in the region, presenting the achievements of Western Pomeranian sportsmen and the possibilities of incorporating the knowledge about these achievements in the process of education of school and academic youth. The team tries to determine the importance of modern technologies for the development of sport in the world and in Poland.

  Human movement in terms of health and physical fitness

  The team’s research focuses on the issues of physical activity and motor fitness. The research issues in the area of physical activity include the diagnosis of the level of physical activity, its determinants and health behaviour of people of different ages from the point of view of maintaining health and good quality of life. The research issue in the field of motor fitness concerns the search for opportunities to improve the effectiveness of players at various levels of sports development.

  Immunology, biochemistry and molecular biology of physical effort

  Key research projects implemented by the team:

  1. Analysis of the body’s adaptive response to the applied physical effort and different types of training.
     The main objective of the project is to search for biological implications at different levels of the organisation of different types of physical effort in athletes practising different sports disciplines.
  2. Influence of osteoarthritis on the induction of signalling in the cytokine-surface receptor axis of peripheral blood cell components. The main objective of the research is to evaluate changes in signaling between cellular components of the immune system involving chemokines and cytokines as a result endurance or speed exercises.
  3. Importance of cognitive loads in the development of aseptic inflammation.The main objective of the research is to assess the impact of cognitive loads on the phenomenon of immunomodulation in different age groups of learners and/or active people.
  4. Designing new profiles for the assessment of biochemical metabolic fatigue in selected sports disciplines.The main objective of the project is to analyse selected biochemical and haematological indicators of post-workout responses in terms of searching for and designing a public panel of studies to assess the degree of effectiveness of restitution in selected sports disciplines.

  Research methods and techniques used: Routine biochemical and haematological analyses, analysis  of protein levels by means of ELISA and Western-blot technique, analysis of expression of surface antigens and selected proteins released by para- and autocrine flow cytometry, application of spectroscopic methods. Chromatographic (HLPC) and electrophoretic methods are used to analyze selected analytes in body fluids, a wide range of methods is also used to analyze the induction and execution of cell death, the use of molecular biology tools to analyze  the expression of genes encoding selected signalling factors and surface antigens, methods of isolation and cryopreservation of peripheral blood cells.

  Kinesiology in sports and recreation. Movement analysis, designing training and therapy.

  The objective of the latest international project is to evaluate the kinematic parameters of metatarsophalangeal, ankle, knee, hip and spine joints of dancers of different dance styles, as well as to diagnose the pathophysiology resulting from dance technique and the dance shoes used. On this basis, it will be possible to establish standards of dancers’ gait for specific dance styles. This will allow the detection of differences occurring as a result of technical requirements of the dance movement or as a result of compensatory movements of certain diseases affecting professional dancers. This will make it possible to design corrective exercises, treatment methods and orthopaedic equipment for dancers and athletes practising aesthetic sports.
