摘要：In society,the importance of lifestyle as a factor that largely determines the behavior of consumers is increasing. Care for health and physical condition plays a significant role and proper nutrition,leisure activities,as well as physical activity,are becoming vital. In recent years,the shift in the lifestyle of consumers affects their daily life,and in consequence,the economy of each country. What seems a reasonable question is what impact can have a lifestyle on the cashless payment methods. The author has for the first time undertook linking sporting activity of the Internet users in selected European countries with their activity in the use of cashless payment methods. Based on a representative survey of Internet users in Europe,coming from 22 countries,for this article,the author analyzed the data,broken down into sub-groups: people declaring themselves as sports-active,regularly practicing sport,and as "passive" ones. It turns out that people who regularly engage in sports are also characterized by frequent use of the cashless payment,especially those "niche" such as contactless payment using NFC (mobile phone or wearable devices),as well as Apple Pay or Google Pay. It is worth adding that this activity grows among young generations,which,as they get older,they will pay with innovative methods. Based on the literature review,the author has also linked the share of cash payments with the preference for cash and openness to innovation in analyzed countries. Germany is a country where the attachment to cash appears to determine payment behavior.
