Abstract

Universities are not just a place to gain knowledge and build academic profile but also a please to contribute to complete development of personality of the youth, improving their social, emotional and mental health and overall wellbeing. In this regard, considering this important role, universities and their structures have many possibilities to work in direction to promote healthy and active lifestyle. This paper analyses different forms of organization of sport at six state universities in North Macedonia. We focused on analyses of legal acts that regulate sport at university, approaches in implementation of sport as subject implemented in study programs at all faculties, as well as different forms of extracurricular sport and recreational activities and university sport competitions. Many differences between universities are noted mainly in the segment of representation of sports curriculum represented in the status of the subject, representation on faculties, evaluation etc. Differences are also noted in other segments of organization of sport. Existence of department for sport or university center for sport is underlined as positive and influencing factor for higher representation and better organization of sport curriculum at analyzed universities. We presented our suggestions how to improve each segment and impact positively on student’s overall wellbeing.
