Leisure Time Sport Activities of the Students at Resita University

The problems caused by the limited time available for leisure time sports activities these days have become an increasingly interesting subject for specialists in various fields of science. This paper analyses this sensitive topic, which is always on the map of scientific research, from an interdisciplinary perspective, trying to identify the typical features of the students’ lifestyle at the “Eftimie Murgu” University in Resita and the extent to which sports activities are included in the time budget of the students’ leisure time activities. This is an exploratory study that has included undergraduate students at the “Eftimie Murgu” University in Resita. The sample was selected by stratified sampling, using the “step” method, with a margin of error of ±5% and a safety margin of 95%. The questionnaire included 23 questions. The study we have carried out has highlighted the fact that many of our university's students lead a rather sedentary life, 34.38% among them do not practice any sports activities, which correlates with the negative consequence that over half of the students, 54.98%, are overweight.
