PRO-HEALTH MOTIVATION OF AMATEUR RUNNERS FROM THE LODZ PROVINCE

Summary/Abstract: The article presents results of own research, which was carried out on a group of amateur runners from the Lodz province. The case of runners’ motivation was investigated. The survey was carried out by using an on-line questionnaire for 101 respondents, belonging to runner’s clubs and runner’s communities from the Lodz province. A key finding is, that the respon-dents were guided by health reasons when they had started running trainings. Running has become an easy way for them to improve their health, condition and stress reduction. Moreover, running also changed their non-sport sphere of daily life: their habits, self-esteem and openness for other people.
