The aim of this systematic review was to examine the scientific evidence regarding physical activity and physical fitness among university students. The search and analysis of the studies were done in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. An electronic databases search (Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus) yielded 11,839 studies. Subsequently, the identified studies had to be published in English between 2011 and 2021, the experimental study had to have included males and females attending a faculty, and the participants had to have been evaluated for physical activity and fitness. A total of 21 studies were included in the quantitative synthesis, with a total of 7306 participants, both male and female. After analyzing the obtained results, it could be concluded that university students show a satisfactory level of physical activity and physical fitness. However, the results vary due to different factors involved, mostly related to the cultural differences and educational systems in different countries. As this study observes mediocre results of physical activity and physical fitness among university students, it is crucial to get their attention and awareness, to at least maintain a satisfactory level of physical activity and physical fitness.
本系统评价的目的是研究大学生身体活动和身体健康方面的科学证据。研究的检索和分析是按照 PRISMA 指南进行的。电子数据库检索（Google Scholar、PubMed、Science Direct 和 Scopus）产生了 11839 项研究。随后，确定的研究必须在 2011 年至 2021 年期间以英文发表，实验研究必须包括在学院就读的男性和女性，并且必须对参与者的身体活动和健康状况进行评估。共有 21 项研究纳入定量综合分析，共有 7306 名参与者，包括男性和女性。在分析了获得的结果后，可以得出结论，大学生表现出令人满意的身体活动和身体健康水平。然而，由于涉及的不同因素，结果有所不同，主要与不同国家的文化差异和教育制度有关。由于本研究观察到大学生身体活动和身体健康的中等水平，因此引起他们的关注和意识至关重要，至少要保持令人满意的身体活动和身体健康水平。
