摘要：Regular physical activity is seen as a healthy component of lifestyle. Sport covers all forms of bodily activity that contribute to the physical well-being of the person, his mental balance and social interactions. Energy consumption associated with physical activity is the only discretionary component of total energy expenditure in everyday life. Objective. The purpose of this study is to observe the level of total physical activity in a week, in young people in medical academia, in three categories of intensity: vigorous, moderate and low. Methods. To determine this level of physical activity in the group of subjects concerned, this study used The International Physical Activity Questionnaire - short form with the three criteria of appreciation, being applied to a group of 200 students from UMF Carol Davila. The level of physical activity of the students was correlated with MET-min/week as a measure in the results generated according to the IPAQ criteria. The total physical activity of the students was determined according to the standards accepted by IPAQ. Results. Following this study, it was found that students from the Faculty of General Medicine are the most active, boys are more active than girls and in the first 2 years of study (preclinical), students have a higher level of physical activity than those in the years clinics, where the level of physical activity is observed to decrease, 30% of them are almost inactive, about 1 in 3 students is inactive. Conclusions. Nowadays, in the context of professional activities that are increasingly intense and tense, we must increase the importance of physical education as a means of optimizing the living regime, active rest, maintaining and increasing the working capacity of students throughout the period of study and after their completion.
