Determining the Fitness Level of the Students through the Physical Activity Index Questionnaire

Abstract

One way to determine individual fitness level is through the physical activity index questionnaire, which may be a reference to the individual possibilities at a time. The research hypothesis was that by the questionnaire for physical activity index we can determine the fitness level of the subjects. The study involved 71 students from Faculty of Physical Education and Sport. The questionnaire was applied subjects in the month of April 2015. By dividing on the years of study and gender resulted 6 analysis groups of which two were located at very good level (first and second years male), two at good level (third year male and second year female) and the last two weak level (first and third years female). So it is noticeable that the male overall situation is a trend from good to very good, while the female is a decreasing trend - from good to poor. Study are limits on the number of participants (71), but it can be a benchmark for other studies aimed at the youth and students fitness.
