The study group consisted of 42 people aged 20-24 years, on average 21.5 years.62% (26 people) were women, and 38% (32 people) were men.Data was obtained using a paper questionnaire based on theInternational Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The respondentswere asked about their physical activity during the week and their own assessment of their level of physical activity. 52.38% of respondents reported that they regularly exercise.Men do it more often (75% of men) and women less often (38.46% of women).80.95% considered their own level of physical activity as sufficient, 9.22% as high, and 9.52% as insufficient.At the same time, based on the IPAQ calculation, 42.86% respondents represented a sufficient level of physical activity, 38.10% high, and 19.05% insufficient.The average level of activity was 1668,57 MET-min/week, which according to the IPAQ classification means a high level of physical activity. In summary, young adults representhighlevels of physical activity.The study showed that they tend to under- and overestimate their level of physical activity, whereas the underestimation is more common. Key words: physical activity, IPAQ,exercise, young adults’ health
