Introduction: From the medical point of view physical activity is perceived as the most wanted form of recreation and free time utilization in the view of its basic meaning for Health and civilization diseases prophylaxis.

Material and methods: Study was carried out among 1957 women studying in Podkarpackie Voivodeship.
