    Background. The objective of the research was to present the diverse nature of physical activity, BMI indicator and indicator of self-assessment of physical activity of students from the Visegrad group countries depending on their fields of study. Material and methods. 2237 students from humanistic, medical and technical faculties were tested. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used for the analysis in its extended version. BMI indicator and indicator of self-assessment of physical activity were also characterized. Results. More than half of the students were characterized by a high level of physical activity. In most cases, they possessed the correct value of body mass index (BMI) and the average self-esteem of physical fitness. Conclusions. The field of study does not differentiate significantly the level of body mass index (BMI), which in most tested cases achieved the correct value. The statistical analysis did not reveal any significant statistically relation between fields of study and self-assessment of physical fitness.

    Background. Studies on physical activity are vital for those students destined to become the future elite in the Visegrad countries. This issue is of particular concern because most studies undertaken from various countries have, in this respect, demonstrated significant deficiencies. Study aims: to determine the link between students leisure time and their levels of physical activity according to gender. Material and methods. Subjects were 2337 university students consisting of 1169 females and 1068 males from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary studying a variety of disciplines. The long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used as a standardised measure for the study. Results. Male students were found to have significantly more leisure time than females, with the highest levels observed in those studying the humanities, somewhat lower levels for the medical sciences whilst the lowest were for the technical sciences. The greater the amount of leisure time, the more significant was the impact found on levels of physical activity. Male students with sufficient leisure time demonstrated the highest levels of physical activity. However, no such relation was found in women where, in contrast, the highest levels of physical activity were found in those having too little leisure time. Conclusions. The differences observed between genders in their links with leisure time and levels of physical activity should be taken into account when the teaching of physical activities are designed/devised for student studies.
