Well-being/Welfare – human-centered society and economy - healthy lifestyles

Annamária Juhász — 2025-01-31

Personal well-being can no longer be measured by economic indicators, but rather by a personal, healthy lifestyle based on the dimensions of the cultural, community, socio-natural environment, and thus the fulfillment of the conditions and values of happiness. This article attempts to present a program solution plan based on the holistic unity of health awareness, healthy lifestyle, including physical, mental and social (societal) health in the search for a model based on the philosophy and principles of a human-centered society and economy.

Contemporary aspects of museum spatial interpretation

Éva Schultz — 2025-01-31

Museums are classical cultural preservation and mediating institutions and cultural attractions, too. Often termed "lieu de memoire" (places of memory), which, as places of imagination and rites, become their own references through historicization (Nora, 2010). Over the past half-century, museums were redefined as open, integrative, community space (ICOM, 2022). They are therefore part of tourism and everyday experiential spiritual recreation.

Our study explores spatial interpretation in museums through theoretical models and examines its impact on visitors, complemented by empirical (pilot) research, at two museums in Budapest. Key questions include how visitors use museum spaces and what patterns emerge in their spatial interpretation.

Preliminary results highlight the importance of aesthetics and the opportunity to connect to everyday, common culture in shaping the 'lived space' experience. Continuation can be expected to contribute in a relevant way to a better understanding of museum spatial interpretation and the visitor experience, which is a niche area, as well as stimulate the development of visitor-focused strategies, in the value provided by qualitative visitor research.

The main objective of our work is to investigate the role of the coach in the nutrition of athletes. We have tried to answer the question: Is it part of the coach's job to monitor and control the nutritional habits of athletes?

Our study included competitive youth athletes in 6 sports (N= 162). We used some questions from the Food Frequency Questionnaire in our self-designed questionnaire.

54% of the respondents stated that they had not received nutritional advice from anyone. 23% received advice from the team nutritionist, 16% from the coach, another 6% from the strength coach and a few (1%) from the physiotherapist.

The vast majority (74.6%) of athletes take a dietary supplement. The most important advisors for their use were parents (27%) and nutritionists (26%). The role of the coach was also negligible (6%).

Due to the needs of athletes, it would be necessary to involve professionals in the development of nutritional principles for clubs so that they can provide individualised nutritional advice, plan diets and use supplements professionally, taking into account the needs of coaches. The coach can help monitor compliance with these principles.

In the light of social media: physical activity, eating disorders and well-being issues in young women.

Dóra Skribanek — 2025-01-31

Based on an online questionnaire survey, we present the responses of 440 young women between the ages of 18 and 26 grouped according to different aspects. We grouped the examined persons based on their sports habits, and then, among other things, examined their eating attitudes, social media usage habits, especially Instagram, and their well-being. Among the respondents, the competitive aesthetic athletes showed the highest well-being values, while the almost never athletes had the lowest. Social media, especially Instagram, was found to be a significant risk factor for developing eating disorders, as those at risk for eating disorders spent more time on Instagram. For competitive athletes, the recommendations given by coaches are more important in the design of the diet, while in the case of recreational athletes, this effect is to a lesser extent. Our results also showed that regular sports, even if for leisure purposes, have a positive effect on well-being. In our article, we emphasize the importance of prevention in the treatment of eating disorders and the effects of social media.

Joint Health, Balanced Everyday Activity

Katalin Bíróné dr. Ilics — 2025-01-31

In our rapidly changing world, we are leading increasingly sedentary lives, a trend that becomes even more pronounced with advancing age. A lack of physical activity can result in functional impairments, underactive muscles, and coordination issues. Therefore, the primary goal must be prevention, which involves maintaining physical fitness. Integrating regular physical activity into daily routines is essential not only for preserving health but also for enabling the safe and injury-free execution of everyday tasks.

The fitness industry offers many trends and trends for developing motor (conditioning, coordination) skills and restoring and strengthening joint functions. Functional training provides a comprehensive solution by integrating natural movement patterns that prioritize the balance between joint mobility and stability.

In our study, we use examples from everyday life to highlight the benefits of functional training in promoting healthy joint function and improving daily movement patterns.
