Здоровый стиль жизни, а также внутреннее чувство состояния собственного здоровья должны характеризовать лиц, готовящихся выполнять общественно-профессиональную роль распространителей оздоровительного потенциала физической культуры. Исследования показали, что у студентов факультета физического воспитания ментальность и способность к самоконтролю состояния здоровья значительно выше, чем у студентов других факультетов. Данное обстоятельство обусловливает большую разницу в их оздоровительных практиках. Значительные различия отмечены также в их толерантности относительно влияния других лиц на собственное здоровье. У студентов факультета физического воспитания ее уровень оказался выше. Результаты шкалы употребления алкоголя показали высокую взаимосвязь с самоопределением в отношении здорового стиля жизни.
While training to fulfil the socio-professional role of an individual fostering physical and health culture, people should be characterized by a high level of health-related behaviors and a perceived internal locus of control with regard to health. The goal of this work is to describe the lifestyle of physical education students in comparison to a reference group and to define the relationships between particular types of health-related behaviors and the perceived locus of health control. A sample of physical education students was compared to the reference group representing the technological science faculty: Automatic Control Engineering and Robotics. The sample was selected for a pilot research in a public university in the south- west of Poland. Self-reported questionnaires were used in the present research: the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI) and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC). Alcohol Drinking Scale (ADS) was assessed by using five questions derived from a questionnaire applied in the research program Universities Free from Addictions (Sieroslawski 2004). Physical education students demonstrated higher levels of pro-health behaviors compared to the reference group, especially in Healthy Practices (HP). Moreover, significant differences were noted about the Powerful Others Externality (PHLC); physical education students demonstrated higher level of PHLC compared to the control group. The ADS revealed a negative correlation with Preventive Behavior (PB) and positive correlation with the Internality (IHLC). Research in a larger sample size of students representing various faculties seems justified for the needs of building efficient preventive programs.
