A group of 1257 students were surveyed between February and March 2024. A personalised survey, consisting of three standardised screen behaviour tests and a standard physical activity questionnaire, was conducted. The results were processed using IBM SPSS Statistic_Base-v.25.A low level of activity was indicated by 63.6 % of students, screen addiction by 37.9%, multitasking addiction by 39.1% and video game addiction – 19.5%.
