Launch of the International Project on Promoting Healthy Lifestyles

WSB University is pleased to announce the initiation of the international project "Judo as a Trigger to Shape Youth Pro-Health and Pro-Social Attitude", undertaken in collaboration with partners from Sweden, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Spain. The initiative focuses on using judo as a means to foster healthy habits and social responsibility among young people.

The project is guided by two accomplished researchers:

• Prof. Olga Nowotny-Czupryna, PhD, PT, Head of the Department of Health Sciences at WSB Academy, specializes in physiotherapy and ergonomics, with a strong focus on health-related quality of life and preventive aspects of physical activity.
• Dr. Krzysztof Czupryna, PhD, PT, Assistant Professor at WSB Academy, is a 5th DAN judoka and two-time European Veterans Judo Champion. His research addresses pediatric rehabilitation, posture re-education, and the preventive role of physical activity.

This interdisciplinary project aims to equip young judokas with the tools to promote health and well-being in their communities while fostering leadership skills.
