Sažetak
PURPOSE: To determine if participation in physical activities (PA) have an impact on students’ quality of life. METHODS: 577 students (273 female, 304 male) of four different faculties of the University of Zagreb responded to a survey questionnaire. The first part of the survey was used to determine the PA level (IPAQ) and the second part for evaluation of life quality (WHOQOL-BREF). RESULTS: 366 participants perform vigorous PA at least once a week, out of which 49, 5% perform 1-2 days, 35, 8% 3-4 days, 7, 7% 5 days and 7, 1% of them perform 6-7 days. 416 participants perform moderate PA, out of which 65, 4% perform 1-3 days, 22, 3% 4-5 days and 12, 2% of them perform 6-7 days. 58% of all participants walk every day for at least 10 minutes. 59, 4% of participants exercise weekly and 16, 5% of them exercise on a daily basis. Of those who exercise weekly, 34, 7% is in the range of 1-2 hours and 13, 3% exercise more than 5 hours weekly. 8% perceive their life as very poor or poor, 27, 9% neither poor nor good, 47, 9% as good and 16, 3% as very good. Analysis of data indicates a high positive correlation (r=0, 97) between the time of PAs and quality of life. CONCLUSION: Students who are more physically active perceive their quality of life as higher compared to students who are less active.
