Material and methods. The purpose of the study – to analyze the impact of exercising on the social and educational activity of life of modern student youth. The study involved 337 students of different sexes from the National University of Zaporizhia Polytechnic who were divided into two groups: the first group Physically Passive Group – 153 students who never visited fitness centers and did not exercise independently for the purpose of additional physical education; second Physical Activity Group – 184 students who regularly exercise independently or regularly visit fitness centers and other sports sections.
