Physical activity increases human health potential and has an impact on achieving a higher quality of life in society. The aim of our research was to determine the relationship between a physically active lifestyle and the quality of life of female students in the context of demographic and social factors (major, age, marital status, professional activity). The research was conducted among a group of 285 women studying physical culture and social sciences in Poznań and Szczecin (Poland). Average age: 22.7 ± 4.90. The standardized World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHQOL-BREF) questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life of female students, and the original survey technique was used to study the lifestyle of people undertaking physical activity in the context of socio-demographic factors. Nonparametric statistics were applied in the analyses of the results. The effect size was calculated for each test: E for the Kruskal-Wallis H test, Glass rank biserial correlation (rg) for the Mann-Whitney U test, and Cramér's V for the χ test. The value of p ≤0.05 was assumed to be a significant difference. In the study, it was shown that a higher overall quality of life and health satisfaction, as well as better results in the physical, psychological, and environmental domains, were achieved by female students who assessed their lifestyle as physically active in comparison to those physically inactive. Higher scores of overall quality of life and satisfaction with health were found among female students of physical education and people participating in physical recreation, who also achieved better results in the environmental domain. Female students aged 23-25 had a higher quality of life in the physical, psychological, and social domains. Having a partner or spouse had a positive effect on the quality of life of female students defined by the social domain. A higher overall quality of life and satisfaction with health were characteristic of people who were employed. In the search of factors positively influencing the quality of life of society, it seems necessary to promote a physically active lifestyle among students. The observed differences in the quality of life and health satisfaction of female students of selected majors require targeted programs and interventions that improve the quality of their lives at various stages of their studies. Such activities increase the health potential of the individual and society, not only in the biological, but also psychosocial dimension.
体育活动能提高人类健康潜能，并对提高社会生活质量产生影响。我们的研究目的是确定积极的生活方式与女性学生生活质量之间的关系，同时考虑人口统计学和社会因素（专业、年龄、婚姻状况、职业活动）。该研究在波兰波兹南和什切青的一群学习体育文化和社会科学的 285 名女性中进行。平均年龄为 22.7 ± 4.90。使用标准化的世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHOQOL-BREF）问卷评估女性学生的生活质量，并使用原始调查技术研究在社会人口因素背景下从事体育活动的人的生活方式。在分析结果时应用了非参数统计。为每个测试计算了效应量：Kruskal-Wallis H 检验的 E 值、Mann-Whitney U 检验的 Glass 等级二分相关（rg）和 χ 检验的 Cramér's V 值。假设 p 值≤0.05 为显著差异。研究表明，与不积极运动的女性学生相比，评估自己生活方式积极的女性学生在整体生活质量和健康满意度方面以及在身体、心理和环境领域的表现更好。在体育教育专业的女性学生和参与体育娱乐活动的人群中，整体生活质量和健康满意度的得分更高，在环境领域的表现也更好。23-25 岁的女性学生在身体、心理和社会领域的生活质量更高。有伴侣或配偶对女性学生社会领域的生活质量有积极影响。整体生活质量和健康满意度较高的是就业人员。在寻找积极影响社会生活质量的因素时，似乎有必要在学生中倡导积极的生活方式。观察到特定专业的女性学生在生活质量和健康满意度方面的差异，需要有针对性的方案和干预措施，以提高他们在学习各个阶段的生活质量。这些活动不仅能在生理层面，还能在社会心理层面增加个体和社会的健康潜能。
