    Motivačné faktory a bariéry účasti na pohybových aktivitách so zameraním na športové hry u študentov Akadémie umení v Banskej Bystrici
    (Západočeská univerzita v Plzni, 2025) Marko, Michal; Azor, Stanislav; Adamčák, Štefan
    Background: Students of artistic disciplines exhibit a unique study style that involves prolonged concentration on creative activities and individual projects. This nature of study influences their physical activity habits and opportunities for engaging in sports. Physical activity serves not only as a means to maintain physical fitness but also as an effective tool for psychological regeneration and enhancing creativity, which is particularly relevant for this group of students. Playful sports and movement activities offer an ideal opportunity to relieve mental tension, support social interactions, and develop teamwork skills, thereby naturally complementing the demanding artistic studies. Objectives: This study analyzes the motivational factors and barriers to participation in physical activities, particularly sports games, among students of the Academy of Arts in Banská Bystrica. It also identifies gender differences in preferences and obstacles. Methodology: The research was conducted during the winter semester of 2024/2025 using an anonymous online questionnaire. The sample consisted of 143 students (69 males, 74 females) with an average age of 21.9 years for males and 22.7 years for females. Data were analyzed using descriptive methods and the chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The physical activities of students predominantly have a recreational character, a trend observed in 66.4% of males and 66.2% of females. The most frequent daily step count ranged between 6,000 and 10,000 steps, reported by 55.1% of male and 59.5% of female respondents. The dominant motivational factor for engaging in physical activities involving sports games was health improvement, declared by 28.9% of males and 32.4% of females. The most significant limitation for such activities was a lack of free time, identified by 53.6% of males and 52.7% of females. The chi-square test analysis did not reveal statistically significant gender differences among the observed variables (p > 0.05). Conclusions and Recommendations: Physical activity among students of artistic disciplines is predominantly recreational, with time constraints being the primary barrier to engaging in playful physical activities such as sports games. We recommend introducing flexible sports activities directly within the university environment, such as movement workshops or recreational sports games, many of which are both time- and cost-effective while also providing effective psychological relaxation and supporting recovery after demanding academic obligations.

    University students' perspectives on physical activity in natural environments
    (Mendelova univerzita v Brně : Brno, 2025) Baisová, Karin; Adamčák, Štefan; Marko, Michal; Luptáková, Jana
    Physical activity in natural environments, often referred to as “green exercise” is linked to numerous benefits (e.g., physical, psychological) including reduction of stress, improved mood, and enhanced motivation for regular exercise (“green”, in our case). University students, who face increased risks of physical inactivity because of academic demands and lifestyle changes, have unique perspectives on participating in physical activity in natural environments; therefore, it (study) aims at exploring university students' perspectives on physical activity in natural environments; in particular, motivations and barriers. Instrument of survey (4Qs) was carried out 2 months (Jan. 1 – Feb. 28, 2025), as means of exploring 1,121 university students' (45.94% of boys, 54.06% of girls) perspectives on physical activity in natural environments. 35.33% (396) of students participated in green exercise 1x/ week (p ˂ 0.01), in general, for 1-3 hours/ week (51.57%; 580) (p ˂ 0.01). 43.69% (225) of male students participated in green exercise because of improving health (p ˂ 0.01), and 56.60% (343) of female students participated in green exercise because of relaxation and stress relief (p ˂ 0.01). “Lack of time” to participate in green exercise reported 67.81% (760) of students (p ˂ 0.01). It (study) highlights the need for strategy (targeted) to promote green exercise in university students by addressing the time constraints and emphasizing gender-specific motivators.
