day, the amount of time they spend actively/passively traveling, the number of
hours they sleep, the amount of time they are moderately to highly physically
active per week, etc. The second group included questions on physical (in)ac-
tivity, namely the number of hours they spend on average per day, the amount
of time they spend active/passive, the number of hours they sleep, the amount
of time they are moderately to highly physically active per week, etc. The third
domain included some health indicators such as diet (number of meals per day,
which meal is most often skipped, how food is prepared, etc.), smoking, use of
painkillers (frequency, reasons for use, etc.). The fourth area comprised two
perspectives on selected aspects of health, namely ‚knowledge‘ and ‚reality‘. For
the ‚knowledge‘ perspective, they were asked on a 5-point scale (1 - strongly dis-
agree to 5 - strongly agree) about their knowledge of the importance of healthy
eating, stress management, anxiety, their knowledge of overwork, etc. (e.g. I
know how to eat healthily), and for the ‚reality‘ view they were asked on the
60 same 5-point scale how they put the selected aspects of their health into prac-
tice (e.g. I know how to eat healthily, how to deal with stress, how to deal with

anxiety, etc.). For the fourth part, which we developed ourselves, we calculated
the internal reliability using Cronbach‘s alpha, which resulted in a high inter-
nal reliability (α = 0.812). Content validity was ensured through a literature re-
view and the involvement of three experts who work and research in the field
of healthy lifestyles in combination with exercise and are involved in the edu-
cation of students.
The Organization and Process of Data Collection
All students had the opportunity to complete the survey voluntarily. The ques-
tionnaire was developed using the online tool 1-ka. The survey was completed
by all three authors of the paper, each at their faculty after or before the start of
the course. To conduct the survey, a generated QR code was projected onto the
blackboard, which the students could read and answer the questions with their
cell phones, which took them an average of 6 minutes and 29 seconds.
Methods of Data Processing
The data were processed with SPSS version 28.0. Various statistical methods
were used to analyse the data: descriptive statistics with frequency (n) and per-
centage distribution (%), mean values (PV) and standard deviation (SD). The
intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to determine the agreement
between knowledge and implementation of some healthy lifestyle indicators.
The limit of statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05.
Results
The results of the survey, which investigated the extent to which students are
already implementing their knowledge about the importance of a healthy life-
