“…According to the authors, insufficient physical activity was determined in 19.2% of females and 9.9% of males. A comparison of our data with studies performed by foreign researchers revealed a similar trend -the majority of students showed a moderate and high level of physical activity, and only a small part of students was insufficiently physically active (Bergier et al, 2017;Malmborg, Bremander, Olsson, & Bergman, 2017;Niedermeier, Frühauf, Kopp-Wilfling, Rumpold, & Kopp, 2018).…”

Background. It is becoming obvious that healthy lifestyle of students in higher education institutions is an important factor contributing to the duration of their professional career as well as for general health (Bolotin & Bakayev, 2015). High academic expectations increase tension and pose a threat to physical and mental health of students (Shamsuddin et al., 2013). During studies young people are more vulnerable to developing harmful habits, they do not follow proper nutrition, and do not look after their health (Tarejeva, Žagminas, & Serapinas, 2015), therefore, it is important to understand the association between lifestyle of a young person and daily perceived stress.Methods. The study included 155 students of the Lithuanian Sports University. In order to establish nutrition and harmful habits among students, the analysis of nutrition and harmful habits questionnaire was used. Physical activity of students was evaluated using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-LT). The analysis of stress was based on the questionnaire using the Stress in Academic Life Scale. The results were processed using methods of mathematical statistics. The statistical analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS software version 23.0.Results. Statistically significant difference of physical activity was determined between genders – females were more active than males (p < .05). The frequency of the consumption of breakfast, sweets, meat, beer, and wine statistically significantly differed between females and males (p < .05). Perceived stress of students was associated with physical activity, consumption of cereal grains, sweets, carbonated beverages, and smoking (p < .05).Conclusions. The majority of students were sufficiently physically active. Females more frequently had breakfast, consumed sweets, while males more frequently consumed meat. Regular breakfast consumption was reported by 88.6% of females and 73.1% of males. Males more frequently had intake of beer, while females – wine. Significant relationship between perceived stress and physical activity among students was determined in the study. Keywords: students, stress, nutrition, physical activity, harmful habits.

Physical activity is a fundamental means of improving physical and mental health. Although academic youth can be described as a relatively healthy population group of society, both in Lithuania and other countries research data suggests that many students do not meet the physical activity recommendations of the World Health Organization. Knowing how important an adequate physical activity is in the life of students it is necessary to identify maintaining factors and barriers which condition this activity. The object of research is physical activity and factors influencing it. The aim is to establish physical activity and its determinants among students of Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences. The survey was conducted in 2013–2014. The study population consisted of first-year full-time students from the Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences from 20 teachers’ training study programs. The sample size was 432 persons (32.6% males and 67.4% females) aged 18–23 (mean age 19.35 ± 1.02). An anonymous paper-and-pencil questionnaire was used to collect data on university students’ socio-demographic characteristics, self-reported health status, and maintaining factors or perceived barriers to physical activity participation. The physical activity levels were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – IPAQ. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS software package, version 16.0. To assess contingency tables, Chi-square test was used. Differences were considered to be statistically significant at p < 0.05. According to the results of the presented study 16.2% of the students had low, 29.9% – moderate, and 53.9% – high level of physical activity. Significantly higher physical activity was observed among males (69.5%) than females (46.4%). The results showed that most commonly reported factors positively impacting on participation in physical activity are perceived health benefits (70.5%) and the aspiration to maintain good physical shape (58,3%). The results of the research also confirmed that barriers to physical activity are a lack of time (44.7%), lack of will, stubbornness, and laziness (29.6%).

trata de un estudio cuantitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo. La muestra se compuso de 1043 estudiantes distribuidos en tres conjuntos de diferentes años académicos: 357 (34.2 %) cursaron los estudios en el período 1991-92; 364 (34.9 %); en el 2012-13, y 322 (30.9 %), en el 2016-17. Son hombres en su mayoría (74.3 % frente al 24.7 % de mujeres) y la media de edad es de 21.7 años (DE = 3.077). Para la recogida de datos se utilizó un cuestionario que presenta un índice de fiabilidad de α = .822, .836, .877, en cada conjunto. Los resultados mostraron que el perfil de los estudiantes era claramente deportivo, que tenían antecedentes de deportistas en su familia, algo que se va incrementando con el paso de los años, y que, una vez los estudios iniciados, se aprecia un descenso en el número de deportes practicados. Destaca el fútbol como deporte mayoritario que aumenta en función de los años estudiados y desciende después de matricularse en el centro. La práctica se vincula con las federaciones y, por lo tanto, la mayoría compiten a nivel nacional y regional.
