The research was implemented on students of 1st and 2nd year of social work field during the year 2016/2017. The monitored sample consisted of 46 students of social work at the age of 19 up to 22 years. The Wellness Inventory by authors Travis and Ryan (2004) (24) questionnaire was used for the purpose of this work, which depicts subjective assessment, approaches and motivation of the stated individual in terms of physical activities. There were methods used in order to objectify the quality of subjective perception during the period of one term (SUPOS 7), individual disposition to cope with stress and living sense of life (non-tolerance SOC) and strategies of stress coping (SVF 78). According to values of this test the respondents were divided into two groups (a group of sportsmen and a group of non-sportsmen). The group of sportsmen showed a higher level of invincibility type SOC and meaningfulness, more positive strategies for coping with stress prevailed, a higher value of activating block of subjective perception was seen.
