“…It was revealed that the PA level of male students is significantly higher than that of female students . Female students showed lower levels of interest in regular PA and sports than male students did (Bukova, Zuskova, Szerdiová, & Kuchelová, 2017). The consequence of PA deficiency is the deterioration of health and the development of obesity in a significant proportion of female students (Osipov et al, 2018).…”

Information about the volume and intensity of the physical activity of students is collected through various methods of inquiry. Questionnaire data needs to be compared with objective criteria of the physical fitness of students. The purpose of the present research is a comparison of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) data and the results of functional fitness assessment tests of female undergraduate (n=639) and graduate (n=625) students. The IPAQ data were used to determine the level of physical activity in females. Data regarding the BMI and self-perceived physical fitness of females are collected. The physical fitness level of the female students was assessed using functional fitness assessment tests. The IPAQ results show significant (p<0.05) differences in the total weekly volume of physical activity of females. More weekly physical activity volume was found in female graduate students. The advantage in IPAQ results is achieved by significantly (p<0.01) more weekly physical activity in the office job. The weekly volume of health and sports physical activity is significantly (p<0.01) higher in female undergraduate students. The data on the volume of regular daily movement in female groups do not differ significantly. The results of fitness testing showed an insufficient level of physical fitness of female students of both groups. BMI results of female students are normal. A significant lack of the total volume of physical activity of students of both groups in comparison with the IPAQ data of female students of some European countries was revealed. Increasing the total amount of physical activity and improving the quality of physical activity is recommended.

“…Then, this phenomena is connected with a conception of implementation science (Cabassa, 2016). Health behaviour studies are also focused of differentiation of those behaviours (types and categories) and frequency of its occurrence (lifestyle) (Fleary, Joseph, & Pappagianopoulos, 2018;Buková, A, Zusková, Szerdiová, & Küchelová, 2017).…”

Purpose: We know that the realization of the training aims is not only associated with a systematic effort, multiple skills, specific predispositions, yet also everyday health behaviour, namely various forms of behaviour of individuals that have an impact on the state of health. This influences its retention and strengthening. The aim of the research conducted was to increase knowledge relating to the ties between health behaviour of students in terms of physical education and their subjective evaluation of the progress in the sphere of their individual possibilities of adapting to psychophysical strain. Material: The research encompassed 65 students of physical education at M.A. level (average 21±1.56 years; range 19 -25 years). The measurement was conducted by applying the "Inventory of Health Behaviour Questionnaire", namely a standardized tool consisting of 4 subscales referring to various aspects of health behaviour that emerge in everyday life. Results: There is significant difference between age of both genders of participants. However, variance analysis did not reveal any significant differences between self-estimation and health behaviour aspects of participants. Only moderate correlation between self-estimation and health behaviour indices were statistically significant, which higher values in a group of females. Conclusions: A subjective evaluation of the progress made and the positive mental approach indicate the relation with the health behaviour of students of the physical education course. The results indicate that in the case of the analysed students in the sphere of the health behaviour shown, there is still great potential in terms of the possibilities to be availed of. The results acquired by us may lead to paying greater attention to the problematic issue of the awareness of the role of positive nutritional behaviour in the area of the course content conducted in the academic environment.
