摘要：Two different lifestyles of Slovenian high school students, which can be differentiated
by their sporting activity, were studied on a sample of 681 high school students
of both genders with an average age of 18 years. Some indicators of young people’s
lifestyle related to eating, drinking, smoking, daily routines, socialising and sporting activity
were used to demonstrate their habits. Some other factors—gender, urbanisation of
the environment and the education of parents—which could also influence the lifestyles
of young people were also studied. The findings confirm the hypothesis that participation
in sport has a significant impact on the formation of two quite opposing lifestyles in terms
of unhealthy habits. The sporting lifestyle is, besides regular sporting activity (at least
three times 45 minutes per week in addition to PE lessons), also characterised by regular
eating habits and the infrequent intake of intoxicating substances. Although the consumption
of these substances is largely related to partying, the results showed that students
with a sporting lifestyle socialise and spend their weekend nights similarly to their
peers, but in a less unhealthy way. In contrast, the so-called ‘cigarettes&coffee’ lifestyle
is an antithesis to the sporting lifestyle when health risk factors are considered.
