Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with research the level of physical activities and mindfulness and their cross correlation of high school and of university students. Mindfulness is defined as a specific mental state and competency with broad-spectrum positive impact. The results showed that young people are not sufficiently physical activity and have underdeveloped competence of mindfulness. In this research variable we found a statistically significant difference between the sexes, wherein the boys have more physical activities than girls, and they have a higher score of mindfulness. We found that there are a statistically significant relationship between mindfulness and physical activities, too. We think that these research findings may be related to a lack of institutional education.
