Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of selected forms of activity on the prevention of dysfunction and reduction of pain in the hip joint. Material and methods. The study included 101 subjects (men = 54, women = 47), who had different levels of physical activity or a complete lack thereof. The study was carried out using a proprietary survey questionnaire. Results. An association was found between physical activity and prevention of dysfunction and reduction of hip pain. Conclusions. Poor preparation for physical activity can result in less effective physical activity. Excessive or poorly conducted workouts can result in more undesirable outcomes than no physical activity.
