Physical activity and health status among young people – preliminary report

Summary/Abstract: According to the WHO definition, good health is a state of complete physical, social and mental well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The factors that significantly determine the human health status are health-related behaviors (including physical activity). The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between self-assessment of health status and physical activity among young women and men under 30 years of age. Research tool consisted of two parts – an author-made questionnaire for self-assessment of health status and description of physical activity and Brief Inventory of Thriving (BIT). The research was conducted in the period February–April in 2015 on a group of 368 respondents. Physically active people better assess their health status than physical inactive persons. Self-assessment of health status is higher among men than among women. Physically active people are more often happy and full of energy and less often feel fatigue.
