In developed countries, sport and sports activities are considered to be a defining part of every-day life, the resource that offers them energy and enables their mood in order to face daily challenges. For this study, we have used the sociological investigation as the primordial method, based on a questionnaire combined from two other questionnaires, such as “FRESH” and “ISSP 2007 – Leisure Time and Sports”. We involved 48 first-year students in this study, the vast majority being girls from the Journalism and Psychology faculties of Babes-Bolyai University.  The students questioned presented an active lifestyle from the point of view of the involvement in sports activities, their favourite physical activity being jogging, activity which requires a strong aerobe effort. This choice raises a series of questions related to the material possibilities of those in question, whether this choice is also determined by financial factors or if the students simply enjoy activities practiced outdoors to the detriment of attending a specialised gym and using special equipments.
