  Abstract:  Until about 10 years ago, sports units were part of the university’s lifestyle in all Israel universities, educating and encouraging students to engage in physical activity within the curriculum as an integral of the individual’s health promotion. These sports units closed down one after the other, and now only two academic centers still have sports centers engaging in physical activity as part of their curriculum, as an obligatory general subject within the students’ engineering curriculum. This work presents a literature review as part of a research seeking to understand the students’ attitudes and thinking patterns regarding physical activity in general and curriculum based physical activity in particular, so as to be able to make recommendations to decision makers in the universities regarding physical activity intervention programs so as to promote health among the students – the future leaders.
