Abstract

Abstract Frequent consumption of large amounts of alcohol usually does not correspond to regular physical activity. However, regular physical activity can lead to an improved well-being and greater satisfaction with life. The aim of the study was to determine the level of physical activity in the group of patients diagnosed with alcohol dependence syndrome and examine the correlation between these variables. The study was conducted among a selected group of individuals of both sexes, aged 22-65 and undergoing treatment. Our study indicated an absence of a correlation between gender and the level of physical activity among people addicted to alcohol. Moreover, no statistically significant relationship was found between alcohol dependence and physical activity undertaken in the researched group.
