The article examines the influence of physical education classes conducted on the basis of Polish and Ukrainian basic training programs on the level of physical fitness and physical development of pupils in secondary schools aged 9-10 years. The main features of the Polish and Ukrainian basic training programs are revealed, a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each program has been performed. The study involved 132 pupils of 4 forms of three schools in Khmelnytskyi (Ukraine), who were divided into control (CG) and experimental (EG) groups. CG pupils (n=67) were engaged in sports activities in accordance with the requirements of the Ukrainian basic training program in physical education, pupils of EG (n=65)-in accordance with the requirements of the Polish basic training program. The level of physical fitness of pupils was determined by the exercises that characterize different physical qualities and physical development-by the indices: power, speed, speed-power, endurance, agility. According to the results of the conducted researches it is established that indicators of physical development of EG and CG pupils have a steady tendency for improvement during the study period, which testifies to the effectiveness of both Polish and Ukrainian basic training programs in physical education.

Purpose. to be used across different cultures, a physical activity questionnaire must be translated and cross-culturally adapted into target languages with a structured method. to date, there is no evidence supporting the use of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for children (PAQ-c) in Brazil. therefore, the purposes of this study were to translate and crossculturally adapt PAQ-c into the Brazilian Portuguese language and to determine its measurement properties. Methods. Overall, 82 participants were initially recruited and the final PAQ-c version was applied in 52 children (28 boys, 24 girls). the translation and cross-cultural adaptation process was performed, and the measurement properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of PAQ-c were determined in order to assess the internal consistency (cronbach's alpha), test-retest reliability (Icc, intra-class correlation coefficient) and the level of agreement between test-retest measurements (Bland-Altman method). Paired t-test was used to compare PAQ-c means (test-retest).Results. the meaning of the items was considered easily understood by the children. cronbach's alpha reached acceptable values, ranging from 0.85 (test) to 0.87 (retest). Icc equalled 0.90, indicating excellent test-retest reliability. Paired t-test showed no significant difference between means. Bland-Altman plot proved a good level of agreement between two measurements. Conclusions. the translation and cross-cultural adaptation process was successful in reaching semantic equivalence between the original PAQ-c and the Brazilian Portuguese version; the measurement properties of the new PAQ-c version achieved a good level. therefore, this study provided evidence supporting PAQ-c use among Brazilian children.Citation: chagas d, Araújo dV, Gama d, Macedo L, deslandes Ac, Batista LA. translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the physical activity questionnaire for older children into a Brazilian Portuguese version.

“…the positive effect of physical activity on a person's health is a commonly recognized fact. Nowadays, the significance of physical activity for body formation in different age groups of children is the subject of many scientific studies around the world [1][2][3]. An insufficient physical activity level can lead to the development of numerous diseases and negatively affect the overall functional status of the organism [4].…”

“…this phenomenon is also promoted by general economic development and the improvement of different countries citizens' well-being [8,9]. Nowadays, many school learners spend their leisure time watching tV or using computers, which adds to their lack of physical activity [1]. More than half of female students did not undertake movement activity of medium or high intensity [10].…”

Purpose. to compare the estimated indices of physical activity in Ukraine, Poland, and other countries in accordance with Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance (AHKGA) standards. Methods. the study of schoolchildren's physical activity in Ukraine was performed in 2016 in age groups of 12-14 years (n = 1893, 899 boys and 994 girls) and 15-17 years (n = 925, 449 boys and 476 girls). the results of AHKGA databases and report Cards on Physical Activity for Children and Youth from different countries were analysed. Results. In 2016, 38 countries from 6 continents provided reports to AHKGA. In 2018, there were 49 such countries. In accordance with the AHKGA criteria, children and adolescents' physical activity is marked from A (highest level) to F (lowest level). the results for Ukrainian schoolchildren pointed at the following indices of physical activity level: active play-C; organized sport and physical activity-D; active transportation-b. Poland's report Card for Physical Activity for Children and Youth implied the following indices: organized sport and physical activity-D; active transportation-C. there were no data on active play indices in Poland. Clear patterns of the countries' economic development indices influence on the selected physical activity indices were not established. Conclusions. According to AHKGA standards, organized sport and physical activity in Ukraine is rated D, active play-C, and active transportation-b. Organized sport and physical activity and active transportation in Poland are rated D and C, respectively. No data are available on the active play segment in Poland.
