The control group consisted of 108 men aged 23-57 years (M=39,76; SD=7,98), who do not take any physical activities in the past and have no any somatic diseases. The study used sociometric techniques complemented by the own designed author's questionnaire. The level of sport activity was determined using a HPA (Habitual Physical Activity) questionnaire, while health self-assessment using a SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey) questionnaire.Results: Significantly higher self-assessment of health was noted in the tennis sample – compared to the control group. Positive correlations between sport index ang global HPA index with factors and components of health were reported. In case of control group, relationships were weaker and additionally concern impact of work index to mental component of health and mental factors. In both group, association between age and BMI index with health self-assessment was no found.Conclusions: Regular physical activity has a positive effect on physical and mental functioning of the body. Age and BMI did not show a connection with dimensions and components of health.Keywords: physical activity, self-assessment of health, quality of life, tennis. STRESZCZENIEWstep: Rekreacja ruchowa jest forma aktywnego spedzania wolnego czasu.

Zbadano takze czy poziom aktywnosci fizycznej, wiek oraz wartosc wskaznika BMI wplywaja na poszczególne wymiary i komponenty zdrowia w obu grupach.Material i metody: Badaniem objeto 81 mezczyzn w wieku 18-62 lat (M=46,24; SD=10,43) – uczestników amatorskich turniejów tenisowych. Grupe kontrolna stanowilo 108 mezczyzn w wieku 23-57 lat (M=39,76; SD=7,98), nie prowadzacych zadnej aktywnosci fizycznej oraz nie leczacych sie na zadna chorobe somatyczna. W badaniu wykorzystano techniki socjometryczne uzupelnione o autorska metryczke. Poziom aktywnosci sportowej okreslono za pomoca kwestionariusza HPA (Habitual Physical Activity) natomiast samoocene zdrowia za pomoca kwestionariusza SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey). Wyniki: Odnotowano istotnie statystycznie wyzsza samoocene samoocene zdrowia w grupie badanej – w porównaniu z grupa kontrolna. Zaobserwowano dodatnia korelacje miedzy wskaznikiem sportu i ogólnym wskaznikiem HPA a czynnikami i komponentami zdrowia wsród mezczyzn uprawiajacych sport. W odniesieniu do grupy kontrolnej, odnotowano negatywna zaleznosc miedzy wysilkiem fizycznym w pracy a psychicznym komponentem zdrowia i tworzacymi go czynnikami. W obu grupach, wiek i wartosci wskaznika BMI nie koreluja ani z samoocena zdrowia ani z aktywnoscia fizyczna.Wnioski: Systematyczna aktywnosc fizyczna pozytywnie wplywa na funkcjonowanie fizyczne i psychiczne organizmu. Wiek oraz wartosci wskaznika BMI nie wykazuja zwiazku z wymiarami i komponentami zdrowia.Slowa kluczowe: aktywnosc fizyczna, samoocena zdrowia, jakosc zycia, tenis ziemny.
