The objectives aimed at were: -Identifying ways to stimulate students to become aware of, and get involved in physical education and sport activities; -Elaboration of experimental training programs in different variants in order to validate the research hypotheses; -Developing differentiated modular programs, taking as a priority body modeling and the improvement of the physical condition, according to the individual particularities. The research was conducted on a sample that was then investigatively surveyed, which included 240 female students, 18-23 year-old, of the University of Pitești, from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and MA years, included in an organized system of participation in the physical education course.
