Students’ standpoints on the necessity of physical exercise

Physical exercise is a legitimate youth necessity in the modern world of today, especially since there is little or no intentional and/or sistematic, institutionalized physical activity in the educational process. Various influences can, however, effect the level of physical activity within the student population. These can vary from their immediate surroundings, childhood habits, to their upbringing or a continuous sports activity. This paper explains the thoughs of the students on the matter, as well as their motivation for taking up different physical activities. It is crucial to raise awareness in the student population on the importance of having theoretical and practical kinesiological competences for conductiong individual exercise and maintaining good health. This is even more important since the student population in question consists of future sports and tourism managers! A survey has been conducted among the students, to find out what are their thoughts on positive behaviour regluation, managing their own reactions in specific frustrating scenarios, and a bigger motivation for learning about and taking part in kinesiological activities. The survey reveals only the needs and habits of the students, and its results cannot be percieved as a rule. Nevertheless, it can be used as a model in looking for solutions towards extra motivation for physical activity within the student population.
