Background. The objective of the study was to reveal diversity of physical activity among the school youth depending on the type of place of residence (single-family house, block of flats).

Material and methods. The research conducted in 2015 covered 646 students from junior high schools and post-gymnasium schools in Biała Podlaska with an average age of 18,8 ± 0,84 years. The method of research which was applied was the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) within its full form.

family houses show higher level of physical activity than their peers living in blocks of flats.
