摘要：Purpose: A significant volume of data on the level of physical activity and health of male students presents at the
literature. Scientists use the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to collect data. Scientists
point to the need to use objective practical tests that complement the IPAQ data. The purpose of the research
is to search for objective data on the level of physical activity of undergraduate male students receiving
education in Russian Federation.
Material: Participants – male students (n=205, age-19-20 years). The period of research is March-April 2019. Students
were divided into groups: G-1 – students (n=127) who did not have proof of their physical activity in sports
and fitness, G-2 – students (n=78) who had provided confirmation. The International Physical Activity
Questionnaire (IPAQ) in its extended version assessing four domains of activity, which was supplemented
with original questions regarding perceived physical fitness (high, moderate, low) and favorite physical
activity in sports and fitness was used in research. Students’ physical fitness profile testing is performed using
Functional fitness assessment tests. The collected data were analysed using SPSS20. Physical fitness test
results were compared by using Mann-Whitney U–test.
Results: The IPAQ data indicate a significant (P<0.001) advantage of students (G-2) in total physical activity. Students
(G-1) have a significant (P<0.01) advantage in the volume of physical activity at work. The volume of physical
activity in sports and fitness is significantly higher (P<0.001) for students (G-2). Functional fitness tests
showed a insufficient level of physical fitness of students (G-1 and G-2). The results indicate a significant
(P<0.01) advantage of students (G-2) in physical profile.
Conclusions: Russian male students have more total physical activity than male students from African countries, Turkey,
Iran, and Ukraine, but have a significantly low total physical activity level than students from some European
countries. The total physical activity volume of Russian university male students is slightly less than the
recommended by experts (6000 minutes per week or more). The volume of validated physical activity in
sports and fitness of Russian students is about 39 minutes per day. The level of physical fitness of Russian
male students does not fully comply with the Functional fitness assessment tests targets. A large proportion
of sports and fitness physical activity has a significant impact on the results of functional fitness tests. Data
on favorite types of physical activity of Russian male students show a preference for young men to physically
dominate their peers. Health preservation and health care are not the main aim of students.
