CHARACTERISTICS AND LEVELS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

The aim of this study was to examine the level of physical engagement among university students and to explore possible differences between the students in physical activities by gender and age. An anonymous questionnaire of 48 variables was examined in 1646 students at the University of Zagreb, aged between 19 and 27. Data were analyzed by statistical analysis: using descriptive statistics, χ2 analysis, logistic regression and multiple linear regression analysis. The results have shown that the student’s population does not have a satisfactory level of physical activity which influences the preservation of health ; it was noted that by maturing, young people are reducing their participation in sports - male students were significantly more active in comparison with female students and, there was no difference in physical activities by their age.
