Summary:Objectives. The present work aims to improve the working methodology at the level of 1st and 2nd year students, in order to develop the skills of constant and continuous practice of physical leisure activities. Methods. The study was applied for 23 weeks totaling 46 practical hours on 120 students, out of which 80 boys and 40 girls. In order to verify the hypothesis, the study began with an offer made available to the students by means of presentation sheets of leisure activities. The proposals made to the students concerned activities that are not included in the university program with the possibility of choosing a schedule according to their own regime of professional activities and their own pace of life. Results. Following the analysis of the frequency of the proposed leisure activities we obtained positive results, 71% of the students having a frequency of 91% during the experiment, the rest of 29% of the students having a frequency at the practical hours of the didactic activity, of 88% hours. 53% of students opted for a single activity, and the remaining 47% of students also opted for a second activity, which denotes the attractiveness and favorable impact of the proposed activities. Most students asked for leisure activities in the natural environment (beach, forest, lake, etc.), which denotes the pleasure with which they practiced the proposed activities, preferring a different place than the usual, imposed and frequently used in didactic activity. Conclusion. The factor that determines the future of leisure is the attitude that people will adopt in this regard. Due to changing perceptions on the pleasures of life leisure will play an important role in the coming years. Key words: leisure, physical activity, students.
