Theobjective of the study is recognition of the level of physical activity among Ukrainian students, and factors which conditionthis activity: gender, place of residence, self-reported physical fitness, and the BMI.Methods. The study was conducted in 2013 among 2,125 Ukrainian students using a long version of the InternationalPhysical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), supplemented with data concerning the respondents’ physical development.Results. The results of the study showed that the mean total physical activity of students was 3.560 MET, and its highestpercentage pertained to the area of activity in sports – 1.124 MET. Significantly higher statistically physical activity wasobserved among males than females. In males, the highest activity was related to participation in sports classes, whilein females – engagement in household chores. It was found that males, compared to females, were significantly morephysically active in such areas as occupational activity (education) and sports activity, whereas females showed higheractivity performing household chores.According to the place of residence, inhabitants of medium-size towns and rural areas obtained the most favourable resultsin activity, while the inhabitants of large cities the poorest. Self-reported physical fitness was significantly correlated with theresults in physical activity obtained by the students. No relationship was found between the BMI and the level of student’sphysical activity.Conclusion. Considering the very large population of respondents, the results obtained may be considered as an up-todatepattern of physical activity among Ukrainian students
