摘要：Introduction. A vital role in health maintenance and the prevention of non-communicable chronic diseases is played by an
adequate level of physical activity. In recent decades, numerous guidelines have been developed to determine the criteria
of physical activity levels that are essential to obtain overall health benefits.
Objective. The aim of the presented study was evaluation of the physical activity of adult members of non-governmental
organizations promoting active lifestyle, in compliance with recommendations of the World Health Organization and the
American College of Sport Medicine.
Materials and method. The study examined 95 adult members of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) promoting an
active lifestyle in the Silesian Province of Western Poland. In order to make a comprehensive physical activity evaluation
(including all criteria of most complex health-recommendations), both an objective tool (ActiGraph GT3X) and a subjective
tool (Daily Physical Activity Log) were used.
Results. Compliance with a weekly total time of moderate to vigorous aerobic efforts were observed in 47% of women and
44% of men with regard to WHO guidelines, and in 29% of women and 23% of men, respectively, regarding ACSM guidelines.
The criterion for the frequency of strength exercises was met by 24% of women and 15% of men. Flexibility exercises level
was adequate in 35% of women and 28% of men.
Conclusions. The most frequent cause of non-meeting the criteria of the above- mentioned organisations were insufficient
frequency of the weekly resistance (strength) exercises and flexibility exercises. There is a need to create public health
programmes based on the complex physical activity recommendations, including all types of physical efforts (aerobic,
strength, flexibility), and to emphasise the fact that meeting all of them is essential to obtain overall health benefits.
