Abstract

The authors of the article investigated the desire and willingness of the teaching staff of the medical University to engage in sports and physical culture at the university, and also conducted a survey on a short international questionnaire to determine physical activity IPAQ at the beginning and end of the 2022-2023 academic year. The results were converted into points and brought to the attention of the teachers participating in the survey. Many of these points made them think about their lifestyle and include regular sports in it to increase their level of physical activity. The second stage of the survey showed positive results. In most of the study participants, the criteria corresponding to the presence of inactivity assumed normal tabular values. Several people with identified physical inactivity at the beginning of the school year still did nothing, despite plans to engage in physical activity, remained at the same level.
