Sažetak
The objective of this study was to determine the variability of physical activity at work, sport and leisure time in regard to gender, age and educational level. The sample consisted of 1537 (858 men, 679 women) employed adults, aged 20-65 years. The physical activity level and educational level were obtained by means of questionnaire. Three basic indices were calculated from the results of this questionnaire: work index, sport index, and leisure-time index. Educational level was negatively correlated with work index and positively with sport index in both sexes. Negative correlation between education and leisure-time activity was observed in younger men. The study revealed the increase in the sport activity level in women in the fifth and sixth life decade, when their activity slightly surpassed that in men.
