Abstract

Physical activity of people plays increasingly important position in scientific research. In our cultural setting regular physical activity plays only marginal role in everyday activities in most professions, households as well in transportation. Active way in general is more and more related to healthy quality life style. Medical science accents physical activity and proper eating habits as an indispensable part of good physical and physical shape and wellness. Contemporary sedentary life style is the result of a socialization process towards physical inactivity developed in youth and continued into adulthood. At the present we face in our cultural settings apparent tendency: People loosing beneficial impacts of community activities, involved in passive way of life lacking proper level of physical activities and active sport. Some preliminary data of the time of being in progress research of physical activity of Czech population are presented to describe specific relation of sport and sedentary society. At the same time the Czech Republic is strongly influenced with the existence of new development of the city structure, including fitness centres, cyclo paths, roller skates stadiums, beach volleyball playing fields, golf courses. General conclusions of the paper are concentrated on the question what Czech society expects from sport in given context of existing tendencies in mutual relation of sport and society.
