Background. The objective of the research was to present the diverse nature of physical activity, BMI indicator and indicator of self-assessment of physical activity of students from the Visegrad group countries depending on their fields of study.

Material and methods. 2237 students from humanistic, medical and technical faculties were tested. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used for the analysis in its extended version. BMI indicator and indicator of self-assessment of physical activity were also characterized.

Results. More than half of the students were characterized by a high level of physical activity. In most cases, they possessed the correct value of body mass index (BMI) and the average self-esteem of physical fitness.

Conclusions. The field of study does not differentiate significantly the level of body mass index (BMI), which in most tested cases achieved the correct value. The statistical analysis did not reveal any significant statistically relation between fields of study and self-assessment of physical fitness.
