In this research authors evaluate general physical fitness level of 606 Slovak universities students (344 boys and 262 girls). Physical fitness was evaluated with reduced Eurofit battery tests. We have available students from the Faculty of physical education and sports and from 8 different faculties. We compared these measured parameters with former Slovak population norms. With questionnaire we learned used forms of student physical activities. Differences were evaluated with parametric un-pair t-test; we used *p<0.05, **p<0.01 significance levels. In the contribution is shown that students of the FSPORT reached higher level of general motor performance with regard to other faculties or former populations. It seems that compulsory physical and sport education subjects on universities do not influence significantly positively physical fitness level; the same is watched with unpaid physical activities forms. Decisive role in general motor performance level increase have forms of practising physical activities in individual leisure time.
Physical Development and General Motor Performance of Bratislava University Students
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2014
In this contribution the authors have evaluated a sample of 606 university students (studying at 8 faculties from Bratislava universities, 344 males and 262 females) by measuring 3 somatic parameters (body height, body weight and BMI) and by submitting them to 6 general motor performance tests (sit and reach, standing broad jump, 30 seconds sit-ups, over head 2 kg medicine ball throw, 10 x 5 m shuttle run and endurance shuttle run). Differences were identified by parametric un-pair t-tests and they were considered on a **1 %, or a *5 % significance level. We have not found any significant differences in somatic parameters between single groups of males or females. The general motor performance tests have indicated higher performance levels among students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports for all tests applied, both for males and females. On the other hand, students from other faculties seldom showed any significant differences in their general motor performance levels. Comparison with Slovak population shows higher performance level of The students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports also showed higher performance levels when compared to the Slovak population in general, while students at other faculties did not do any better or even did slightly worse than the general population, according to the historical data we have used for our comparison.

Introduction. Physical exercise deficiency and lack of proper habits related to systematic physical activity, especially among the youth, can be particularly dangerous from the point of view of health in the further decades of their lives. Materials and methods. The study covered a group of 95 students studying Physical Education on Physical Education and Sport Faculty in BiaĹ ' a Podlaska, with 39 of them being sportspeople training, among other things, football and handball, volleyball, basketball, athletics, MMA, taekwon-do and swimming. Results. All the respondents prefer an active model of spending leisure time, where slightly fewer than every third student (29.4%) are the people who systematically attend trainings in sports clubs. Almost all of the researched people (92.64%) achieved the level of physical condition described as high between 468 and 667 points on the ICSPFT scale. Conclusions. All the respondents prefer an active model of spending leisure time, which can be connected with the studied faculty, where slightly fewer than two third of them engage in activities classified as intensive. It means that in the light of the newest health standards adopted by WHO, all the researched students of Physical Education Department fulfilled the recommendations concerning pro-health physical activity. It was stated that almost all the respondents achieved high scores in ICSPFT, however, no statistically significant correlations between the results obtained in subsequent ICSPFT trials assessing physical fitness and their weight and height were observed.

This study was applied to total 53 students aged 12-14, who participated in sports regularly in their school or club teams or not, from three different public schools in the city center of Kastamonu. The mean age of 15 female students participating in sports was 13,20±0,77 and the mean age of 11 male students participating in sports was 13±0,90, and also the mean age of 15 female students not participating in sports was 13,20±0,78 and the mean age of 12 male students not participating in sports was 13,08±0,80. The subjects were chosen randomly and the tests and measures were performed in the gymnasium. In order to determine the features of subjects, their height and weight were measured, some tests were performed by using Eurofit test battery and also Illinois agility test were applied. Data were analyzed in SPSS 16.0 statistical package program and in order to compare the averages of groups with regard to some variables Mann- Whitney U Test was used. The level of significance was accepted as p< 0,05. At the end of the study, it was determined that when compared the values of the female subjects participating in sports and the ones not participating in sports, significant differences were found in body fat percent, 10x5 m. sprint, right and left hand reaction to light, standing long jump, flamingo balance, sit and reach flexibility and anaerobic power tests (p<0,05), there were no significant difference in right and left hand grip strength, Illinois agility test values. It was also seen that when compared the values of the male subjects participating in sports and the ones not participating in sports, there were significant differences in 10x5 m. sprint, right and left hand reaction to light, standing long jump, flamingo balance, sit and reach flexibility tests (p<0,05), no significant difference was found in body fat percent, right and left hand grip strength, anaerobic power and Illinois agility tests.

The Effects of Sport on the Body Measure from Students of Different Disciplines
2005
SUMMARY Problems arising from excessive body weight may be overcome. Sport emerges to take a great part in this respect. This paper shows how human body is affected by sport.The individuals were selected from the students of two different disciplines. The body measure of students totaling to 200,, was then compared to those of the same number of students, who did not perform a regular physical activity. The values pertaining to the weight variable, implied a significant difference for both males and females. The BMI values obtained for the all students were in “no risk” group, while the average BMI values for the all female students, emerged to exhibit differences from those of the all male students. The results and the findings of this investigation implied that physical activities practiced regularly, have an influence on the body measure index of individuals.
