Abstract

The article tackles the problem of physical activity in opinion of Warsaw universities’ students. A new model of health awareness is introduced. On its basis three groups of students with high, average, and low level of health awareness were separated which was a main criterion that differentiated the role of family and the closest circle in pro-health behaviour. The research shows that students with a high level of health awareness are more often surrounded by health oriented people who do sport. Such a result may be connected with a transmission of health behaviour patterns and reciprocal motivation for health.
