    Background. Our study aims to illustrate the diversity in levels of physical activity among female students from the Visegrad countries (V4), in four domains: job-related activity, transportation physical activity, housework, house maintenance, and caring for family, as well as recreation, sport, and leisure-time physical activity. These domains were correlated with factors including: BMI, field of study, physical fitness self-assessment and amount of leisure time. Material and methods. In total 1,169 female students from V4 countries: the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland were involved in the study. In terms of conducting the study, the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire IPAQ, was utilised. Results. Female students from the V4 countries were characterized by moderate (47.5%) and high (43.7%) levels of physical activity, and the WHO recommendations on health-related quality of life were fulfilled in more than 80% of the respondents. Conclusions. Analysis showed statistically significant differences in BMI, where underweight students (59.3%) demonstrated a moderate level of physical activity. The physical fitness selfassessment of female students from the V4 countries shows significant differences in their level of physical activity in all analysed areas and indicates that field of study as well as their amount of leisure time do not notably affect their level of physical activity.

    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-01-28) Bergier, Józef ; Wasilewska, Małgorzata ; Szepeluk, Adam
    The increasingly appreciated role of physical activity in societies concerned about their health requires proper assessment. The main tools for measuring the level of physical activity comprise some relevant questionnaires, among which the best known in the foreign literature is Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). However, this questionnaire is not yet available in the Polish language version. The following article presents one such attempt that has taken into account the Polish conditions and lifestyle following the guidelines of the GPAQ Guide, which meets the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). The source text was translated into Polish and then a reverse translation was made involving four steps.
