Physical activity level of students of the Faculty of Education during the COVID -19 virus epidemic

Physical activity is an integral part and a vital factor in our lives. Scientists consider physical inactivity to be a major public health problem of the 21st century (Blair, 2009). The objective of this paper was to determine the physical activity level of students of the Faculty of Education in Osijek during the COVID-19 virus epidemic. Furthermore, the paper analyzed the difference in physical activity levels between male and female students. There were 100 participants included in the research, 50 female and 50 male students. The level of physical activity in students was assessed via a short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ - SF). The results indicate an average high level of physical activity in all students. There is a statistically significant difference between male and female students, with male students being more physically active than female students.
