LEASURE TIME ACTIVITY AMONG STUDENTS FROM UNIVERSITY OF PRISHTINA, FAKULTY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT

Abstract

This paper presents the results of the research on the physical activity of students in the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, University of Prishtina “Hasan Prishtina” Kosovo. The purpose of this cognitive study was to diagnose certain aspects of the lifestyle of students, with a particular focus on physical activity and, the difference in sex. The practical aim, however, was an indication of such actions, arising from past experience that would aim at improving lifestyle, and could lead to the elimination or prevention of certain causes of not making movement activity by the students in our country. For the sake of clarity, first the term of leisure requires clarification. For the first time it was defined during an international conference held in 1956. As defined by the French sociologist Dumazedier [4], leisure means all the activities taken by an individual for entertainment or self-development, voluntary participation in social life out of social and family responsibilities. This definition considers only adults. In turn, according to Dąbrowski [3] leisure time of young people is the time, which remains to their own disposal after fulfilling their body's needs and completing the duties at home and school, in which they can conduct their activities in agreement with their tastes, related to leisure, entertainment and satisfying their own interests.
