Abstract
We examine differences between students in physical activity levels at the University of Tuzla. Physical activity was
measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ long form). Results of the Mann-Whitney U test
for physical activity assessment shows that male students achieved higher levels of physical activity at a statistically
significant level in four out of a total of seven variables.
Keywords: students, physical activity, IPAQ
