Abstract

The huge development of education and science influenced the civilization progress and the improvement of living conditions of the life of the population, but it also caused changes in the lifestyle and the way of spending free time. The survey respondents were from Warsaw, between the age of 25–45, currently working. The survey comprised 500 respondents. The survey was conducted in 2006 and 2007. The results of the survey show, that the majority of the respondents (46,6%) possess the average physical activity. Only 15,6% admitted that they cultivated sport regularly. Unfortunately most often, the respondents spend their free time in the passive way, in front of the TV, the computer or in the cinemas. Only 19,6% declared active time spending, but not regularly. The results find confirmation in the results of different surveys. The results are very disturbing, because low physical activity is the cause of many illnesses and the fall of the quality of the living.
