Course of research and processing data
An online survey – 1KA was used for collecting opinions by nursing students.
Software SPSS was used to statistically analyse data. We used univariate and bi-
variate data for analysis.
Results
Table 1 represents reasons for nursing students to implement physical activi-
ty. Students mostly decide for physical activity to reduce tension (M = 4,27; SO
= 0,98). We did not confirm statistically significant differences between high
school students and faculty students.
