Abstract: The aim of our research was to investigate the physical activity habits and opinions related to physical education and sports in a group of women academics. The questionnaire we applied had 10 questions and the respondents were a group of 42 academics women aged 35-52. Their attitudes and habits, as educators, may influence, indirectly or implicitly, student behaviour and lifestyle. The results revealed a favourable attitude towards physical activity in general, with a preference for a moderate physical activity once or twice a week. The respondents seem to be aware that a good physical condition creates a state of well-being and comfort at the mental level and over 83% expressed their intention to get actively involved in physical activities. Specialists in the field of physical education and sports can help with a sustained intervention to educate, provide individualized programs and support for academic women, and students as well, to practise a form of adequate physical activity, and to promote its beneficial effects.
