The aim of the study was to assess the level of physical activity and other forms of spending free time among nursing students depending on the age of the respondents. Material and methods: The research was conducted in 2023 and included 184 first-year nursing students of the Mazovia Academy of Applied Sciences in Siedlce. The subjects were divided into three groups depending on age (18-30 years old, 31-40 years old, over 40 years old). Physical activity was assessed using the IPAQ, and leisure time was assessed using an original survey questionnaire. Results: Nursing students most often spent their free time watching TV, playing computer games, texting, browsing the Internet and meeting friends. Physical activity in MET-min/week was the highest among the youngest students and the lowest among the oldest (p=0,0061). Conclusions: The respondents most often spent their free time passively. The age of the respondents differentiated the level of physical activity of the nursing students.
