- Abstract
Objectives. The youth's preparation, training and education in modern society is negatively influenced by the impact of factors harmful to the body (stress, alcohol, smoking, intellectual overexertion, drugs, overeating, etc.), their presence being more and more manifest in daily life. In this context, the role of motor activities and their prophylactic and formative values become increasingly important to ensure a physical and mental development in accordance with the requirements of society. In the academic environment, the increase of students' interest in participating in formal and non-formal physical education activities greatly depends on their preferences for certain activities. In this sense, the teaching staff members are those who must provide preparation programs adapted to students' necessities. The aim of the study was to achieve a comparative analysis of students' preferences versus those of the teaching staff for formal physical education activities. Method. The research is based on the survey method. It was created an opinion questionnaire with responses prioritized on a 5-level scale, the result analysis using the statistical method - SPSS software, version 15. The questionnaire was applied to a number of 200 students and 80 teachers from many non-profile universities of Bucharest. Results. The analysis of responses for both categories of respondents reveals that the first places come clearly to sports games and fitness. After the statistical analysis by gender (male and female), we notice that, among the male subjects' preferences, sports games are on the first place, followed by table tennis, fitness and swimming, and, among the female subjects' preferences, fitness is on the first place, followed by aerobic gymnastics, sports games and badminton. Conclusions. Knowing the students' options, the teacher can contribute to the development of formal physical education activities in accordance with their preferences. The teacher is the crucial factor in optimizing the instructive-educational process so that it stimulates participation in physical education classes, by adapting it to students' preferences.
