Techniki relaksacyjne podczas lekcji wychowania fizycznego a wybór strategii radzenia sobie ze stresem przez uczennice szkoły ponadgimnazjalnej
Relaxation techniques during physical education classes and the choice of anti-stress coping strategies of girls in upper secondary school

Summary/Abstract: The primary aim of the study was to find whether and to what extent physical education classes using relaxation techniques compared to traditional classes influence the stress coping strategies of an experimental group. The experiment involved 182 girls aged 16-18 from a secondary school in Wrocław. The participants were divided into 2 groups: experimental (122 persons) and control (60 persons). In both pre-tests and posttests, a research tool was used to assess stress coping strategies – a questionnaire entitled “How Do You Cope”? Analysis of the results showed that physical education classes using relaxation techniques, compared to traditional lessons, had a positive impact on the stress coping strategies of the analyzed group. Participants from the experimental group used better strategies of dispositional coping with stress in particularly difficult situations compared to participants from the control group.
