Abstract

The beneficial impact of sport was formerly justified by numerous national and international literatures, highlighting the correlation between exercise training and psychological condition, as well as that between physical and mental health. Nevertheless – as far as the authors know – the effects of a once-a-week, vigorous exercise training has not been examined  yet; therefore, the area being a “terra incognita”, the results of the locally conducted survey can even have interesting scientific aspects. The discussed research primarily focussed on the following: the students of the University of Pannonia/Georgikon Faculty, originating from different settlements and schools have diverse physical fitness, and are either active or inactive concerning doing sports. The authors wanted to figure out, whether the weekly physical activity could possibly bring positive results in their performance; and in which kind of numerical data could it be recorded.
