Attitude of first year students of faculty of electrical engineering and computing towards physical activity

We are daily witnessing the negative influences of the sedentary way of life on the motoric genetic potential, leading to its progressive decrease. This is unfortunately most obvious among students, mainly due to increasing responsibilities and informatization imposed on the new generations. Sometimes the only physical activity they perform is the one during the obligate physical education, and this more often than not skipped on purpose. The aim of this questionnaire was to identify the magnitude of the mentioned problem and possible solutions. We present the results of the questionnaire answered by hundred first year students of Faculty of electrical engineering and computing University of Zagreb on their free time sport activities and their attitude towards physical activity in general. Questions were based on the weekly habits. Students were asked to choose among the list of physical activities their favourite ones and also to identify those activities they dislike and would not want to perform in the free time.
