Physical activity is one of the factors conditioning human health. Research shows a positive impact of regular physical activity on the quality of human life. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the physical activity of university students, their parents, and their grandparents, and the overall quality of their lives in individual domains (physical, mental, social, environmental), as well as the perceived state of health in relation to selected determinants. The research included 1001 participants, including 253 students related to physical culture and health promotion studying at the University of Szczecin (faculties: physical education, tourism and recreation, public health, sports diagnostics), and their 336 parents and 412 grandparents. Purposive sampling was used to outline the determinants of quality of life and family factors in physical activity. The diagnostic survey was carried out based on the standardized WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organization Quality of Life) questionnaire. Statistically significant differences were shown in the studied generations regarding the assessment of quality of life and satisfaction with health in the physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains. The oldest generation gave the lowest assessment of quality of life and was the least satisfied with their health regarding particular domains. Female students were more satisfied with their health compared to grandmothers and grandfathers, whereas male students compared to mothers and fathers. Fathers achieved the highest scores in the psychological and social domains, but, in case of the latter, differences were found between mothers' and fathers' assessments. Intergenerational differences were found in quality of life and the assessment of health status. Current participation in broadly understood physical culture was often a result of positive attitudes towards physical education and doing sport in the past, which meant higher scores in the physical domain each time. The study demonstrated that taking up physical activity impacted the quality of life and assessment of health in the past and currently.
体育活动是影响人类健康的因素之一。研究表明，定期进行体育活动对人类生活质量有积极影响。本研究的目的是确定大学生及其父母、祖父母的体育活动与他们在各个领域（身体、心理、社会、环境）的整体生活质量之间的关系，以及与选定决定因素相关的健康感知状况。该研究包括1001名参与者，其中包括253名在什切青大学（体育、旅游与休闲、公共卫生、运动诊断等学院）学习体育文化与健康促进专业的学生，以及他们的336名父母和412名祖父母。采用目的抽样法来勾勒生活质量的决定因素和体育活动中的家庭因素。诊断性调查基于标准化的世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHOQOL-BREF）问卷进行。在所研究的几代人中，在身体、心理、社会和环境领域的生活质量评估和健康满意度方面显示出具有统计学意义的差异。最年长的一代对生活质量的评价最低，对特定领域的健康状况最不满意。与祖母和祖父相比，女学生对自己的健康状况更满意，而男学生与母亲和父亲相比也是如此。父亲在心理和社会领域得分最高，但在后者方面，母亲和父亲的评估存在差异。在生活质量和健康状况评估方面发现了代际差异。目前广泛参与体育文化活动往往是过去对体育教育和运动持积极态度的结果，这意味着每次在身体领域的得分都更高。该研究表明，过去和现在从事体育活动都会影响生活质量和健康评估。
