Summary/Abstract: The article deals with current trends in the academic environment in the measurement of physical activity and lifestyle and the relationship between these two phenomena. The authors focused on evaluating the measurement of physical activity in academic research and comparing subjective and objective methods. The article also describes the concept of life satisfaction and its measurement methods in articles. At the end, the authors described the relationship between the two observed phenomena based on the literature search. The findings suggest that while physical activity is generally associated with higher life satisfaction, the strength and nature of this relationship vary depending on measurement methods, age groups, and cultural contexts, emphasising the need for careful interpretation and further research.
