Abstract

Movement is a phenomenon without which there is no life. Movement is necessary for the proper development and functioning of the human organism. Life in modern society, and especially in developed countries after technical-technological progress in all spheres, is distinguished by a small degree of physical activity as never before. Through the insight into the physical activity of young people and adults, the interest and motive to engage in it, as one of the indicators of quality of life, we gain a picture of our society and the potential opportunities for change. Physical activity is an integral part of the quality of leisure time. As an integral element, physical activity is part of the content of leisure time and in that sense, it can be an activity in leisure time, but also an integral part of any other activity in leisure time. The purpose of the research is to examine two complex phenomena: physical activity among adults, on the one hand, and the quality of leisure time, on the other hand. For this purpose, we examine the attitudes and opinions of adults regarding the physical activities they practice in their leisure time, the satisfaction from practicing them, the benefits and opportunities of practicing them. The research was conducted on a sample of 268 adult respondents over 25 years of age. The obtained results showed that in the last period among adults, the importance and necessity of physical activity in their leisure time has increased.
