Legal framework regulating the prohibition and sanctioning of doping in sport in the EU countries is a very interesting topic for research, because of the variety of legal, organizational and financial problems that have to be solved in order to organize and establish effective and efficient mechanism for counteraction of doping in sport. Nowadays, more than ever before in the history, laws and regulations in the most of the European countries treat doping in sports and activities related with production and trafficking of doping substances as a crime. In recent years, it is widely accepted that sport doping is only a part of the wider problem of drug abuse within modern societies. The relation between the international drug trade, doping substances trade and organized crime is obvious. The convergence of doping in sport and organized crime demands a new approach to research and fight against that phenomena. During the past thirty years, all of the EU member states enacted the laws and regulations that have placed a ban for usage of doping substances and methods in sports. Such a laws and regulations comprise variety of sanctions and preventive measures for the sportsmen and sportswoman whose sports activities are involved in doping substances trafficking, smuggling and usage. Besides that, all of the EU countries (except Belgium) ratified the Council of Europe Convention against doping. The new legal framework regulating the prohibition and sanctioning of doping in sport in the Republic of Serbia has been created after the enactment of Anti-doping Law in November 2005. The passage of the new legislative framework regulating the work and jurisdiction of the Antidoping Agency of Serbia was a decisive step in the process of strengthening state capacities aimed at creation of organizational framework needed for systematical fight against doping in Serbian sport. Now, a more challenging and difficult task lies ahead state and sports organizations. That task is a proper implementation of the new regulatory framework and its harmonization with EU legal standards.

This article analyses the subjective well-being of physical education teachers as well as its connection to the manifestations of attitude towards social communication that can impact educators’ professional activities. In order to carry out the research an independent sample of physical education teachers was constructed. The method of written questionnaire was used. The results allowed to make conclusions on teachers’ subjectively evaluated personal and social wellbeing. It was discovered that those with less work experience and more frequent exercise during their leisure time tend to be more optimistic about their personal wellbeing. Additionally, male physical education teachers were more optimistic about personal wellbeing over the past four weeks than their female counterparts. More optimistic teachers more often support open expression of discontent and rudeness during communication with other people and nagging in the social life. The results show that overall performance of physical education teachers can be guaranteed by their involvement in health-improving activities carried out in their work places, since the well-being of these specialists can be considered as a determinant for life-long health promoting physical activity for the members of society.

The aim of this paper is to characterize the linguistic mechanisms that affect the currently observed dynamic expansion of the set of fitness class names. It has been proved in the course of the conducted analyses that it is underlain by three processes related to the selection of lexical components in terms of origin, segmentation and semantics of forms. Their operation is motivated by extra-linguistic factors, namely the need to distinguish a training in one fitness club from a training in a competitive club. Hence, it has been proved that commercialization – as a factor that that had never been allowed for in the studies of the language of sport – inspires changes on the linguistic plane.

In 1940, the first written rules appeared. The first football-tennis competition took place in the same year mentioned above, and between 1953 and 1961 the first league, called Liga Trampska, was held. In 1961, the Czech-Slovak Sports Organization officially recognized the new sport and thus established the Football-tennis Commission in Prague. The Czech Football Association was founded in 1971 and in 1974 the Slovak Football Association was established. Regarding the emergence of football-tennis at the national level, it can be said that it has been practised since the 1970s, but under a different name.

Local people and non-tourism travelers also benefit from tourism businesses as well as vacationers. Tourism activities are a part of the life of many people who have a holiday or not. For this reason, tourism enterprises (restaurants, travel agency hotels etc.) constitute an important part of social life. For this reason, in the study, it was aimed to evaluate the health problems that prevent the social life of the disabled people instead of identifying the obstacles they face only in some tourism enterprises. The data of the research were collected by wheelchair basketball athletes in questionnaire in 2019. The statements used in the questionnaire were taken from the Nottingham Health Profile. Nottingham Health Profile is a scale that has been translated into 24 languages other than English and has been used in many studies. Within the scope of the research, a questionnaire was collected from 134 athletes by sampling method. According to the results of the analysis, athletes need the most energy and need the least sleep. In general, an opinion was expressed that I disagree with the obstacles encountered in social life within the scope of health.

Translating the biography of the world’s most famous golfer, Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian (2018a) into Polish, I made an assumption that the ability to understand the technical vocabulary of golf among the readers of the original would differ from that among the readers of the translated text. This assumption was based on the fact that golf is considerably more popular among the English-speaking nations than in Poland and that most of its jargon is based on English-language vocabulary. Therefore, the golf vocabulary was made more accessible to the Polish reader, following the precepts of the Nidian dynamic equivalence. Two methods for achieving this have been attempted: explaining the meanings of technical golfing terms within the body of the text, which corresponds to the notion of explicitation in translation; or replacing them with more common expressions in order to produce the acculturating effect. Both methods helped increase the readability of the text, but their limitations had to be taken into account. Employing explicitation could result in producing stylistically awkward sentences, and some explanations within the body of the text lacked necessary precision. Acculturation was not always possible, since in some cases the use of words conceived as equivalents of specialist terms could either mislead a lay reader or result in a negative response among readers familiar with the golf jargon. With these limitations in mind, a glossary of terminology of golf has been added to the translated text.
