This article is based on the author’s long-term research on cooperation between public administration and the sports sector in Poland. The neo-institutional perspective reveals potential links between the organization of this area and the level of physical and social activity of Poles. Paul Pierson’s “policy feedback” mechanism – interest groups formation, actors’ learning, snagging of the system, and changing the way information is provided – helps to explain the difficulties in changing this area, which is the largest part of the third sector in Poland.

The aim of this paper was by relying on the relevant theoretical sources to make scientific theoretical reflections on positive effects of exercising and performing motor activities accompanied by music. The starting point was the fact that motion, as the basic motor unit of movement, is an accompanying element in the genes of children, an inseparable part of their lives, because a healthy child feels and demonstrates an instinctive need for movement and play. Furthermore, we relied on the assumption that physical training is an essential component of physical education, and that its application presents exercising. We derived the conclusion that different factors contribute to positive effects. Therefore, apart from professional systematic preparation, the attitude toward motor activity and the outcome of work depends on the personality and motivation of an educator, who should develop students’ kinesiological knowledge, skills and habits, and thus affect their health.

Mass-media have powerful influence on characteristics and development of contemporary societies. Modern societies are characterized by different varieties of violence as un-human social and anthropological behaviour paterns of different societies and as shapes of social pathology. Media are the most significant mediator between sport and men of modern societies, particularly of young people. Violence, as on expression of agressive behaviour, is not just a consequence of global society and mass-media influence on audience (especialy hooligans), but it is developing as a consequence of socialisation of personality. Youth violence is also a consequence of mass-media influence on young people's education. Children and youth are especially sensitive to violence in mass-media.

This paper indicates the possibilities of using Monte Carlo simulations methods in players’ performance rights value monitoring. The authors have formulated a hypothesis that connects Monte Carlo methods (MC) and econometric models of the player’s life cycle that could give club managers another source of information for the decision process. The MC method in finance is usually used to value the option price on the basis of assumed distribution of price changes. In this approach, the method was used to determine future the hypothetical value of footballers’ performance rights. Using econometric models of the player’s life cycle we could observe and analyse the phase in the life cycle of a football player and determine volatility. In this paper we use historical data of the market values of chosen football players from the website http:// transfermarkt.de. The analysis is based on popular valuable players after the growth phase of their life cycle. For the visualisation of the “Championships games bubble” problem we analyse the periods before and after the UEFA EURO 2016. The opportunities and threats of a such an attempt are shown in this paper.

This text examines the similarities between football and dance. In doing so, the focus is not on the many possible metaphoric relationships between football and dance. This happens for example when film clips of football games are called ‘football ballet’, or when fans are dancing Samba, or when players perform a dance with corner flags.

Ovaj tekst nastoji da pronađe sličnost između fudbala i plesa. Pri tome nisu u središtu pažnje mnogostruki mogući metaforički odnosi između fudbala i plesa, kao kada se filmski isječci sa fudbalskih utakmica, koji se neprestano prikazuju uz muziku u pozadini, nazivaju „fudbalskim baletom“, kada Sambini navijači plešu, ili kada igrači plešu sa korner-zastavicama. Važnije je odgovoriti na pitanje koje strukturalne specifičnosti posjeduju fudbal i ples.

The rapid development of sports and negative effects in it poses a number of new challenges for the legislator. These challenges need solution as soon as possible. Doping and full respect for the anti-doping rules by the obligated subjects in the sphere of sports is one of the most acute problems in the Russian sports. Thus, Russia has pressed ahead with development and further implementation of the national anti-doping policy. The paper aims at analyzing the main problems of anti-doping policy in modern Russia; identifying possible civil and legal tools of implementing anti-doping policy in Russia, which, along with the administra-tive and (or) criminal ones, meet the goals and objectives of the policy for elimination of doping in sports and favor the development of intolerant attitude towards violators of the anti-doping rules. The following methods have been used in accordance with the set purpose and tasks: abstraction, dialectics, analysis, synthesis, and deduction. To date, little attention has been paid by the legislator to civil and legal tools that may be involved in the implementation of anti-doping policy in Russia. The law on physical education and sports provides a possibility for the use of separate civil and legal means in this sphere of activity, but they are not yet focused on doping prevention and combating in sports. The current Russian law on physical education and sports does not contain special civil and legal regulations, by which it would be possible to implement the anti-doping policy in Russia. The significant potential of civil and legal tools (agreements, measures of property responsibility, corporate acts) in the implementation of anti-doping policy has remained untapped. The Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 329-FL of December 4, 2007 “On physical education and sports in the Russian Federation” needs to be supplemented: on the contracts and essential condition of compliance with anti-doping rules; on the civil and legal liability of athletes who were accused of using illegal means, drugs, and substances; on the corporate acts in sports. The research adds to the doctrine of sports law and the current legislation. The obtained results can be used in the legislative practice for development of legal mechanisms, legal and civil tools of implementation of anti-doping policy in Russia.

To determine the relationship between the risk of exercise addiction (REA) and health status in amateur endurance cyclists. Methods: In 859 (751 men and 108 women) cyclists and 718 inactive subjects (307 men and 411 women), we examined the REA (Exercise Addiction Inventory), training status (volume, frequency, experience, and performance), socioeconomic status, quality of life (QoL) (SF-12), quality of sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and cardiometabolic risk: body mass index, physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), physical condition (International Fitness Scale), adherence to the Mediterranean diet (Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener), alcohol and tobacco consumption. Results: In total, 17% of the cyclists showed evidence of REA and 83% showed low REA. REA occurred independent of age, sex, training, and socioeconomic status (all ps > .05). Regardless of REA, the cyclists displayed a better physical QoL and a lower cardiometabolic risk than the inactive subjects (all ps < .05). The cyclists with REA displayed worse values of mental QoL, quality of sleep, and anxiety than cyclists with low REA (all ps < .05). The REA group had better values of mental QoL and anxiety and similar values of quality of sleep than the inactive subjects. The differences in mental QoL between the REA and low REA groups were significantly greater in women (p = .013). There was no Addiction × Sex interaction in the other analyzed variables. Conclusion: Our results suggest that an increased prevalence of REA limits the benefits that amateur endurance cycling has on mental health and quality of sleep.
