Abstract

The increased number of active leisure - comprising a variety of sports - takes place in variable environments (e.g. extensive sports facilities built in the natural landscape, ski slopes rised at the borders of national parks or ecological impact of motoring to get to sports facilities) are bringing a lot of changes. There has recently been an increased interest in such activities on the other hand the environment is being affected by such events. Thus the care for the health is in a sharp conflict with the care for the environment. The article describes the influence of those activities on the environment. The research investigation is focused on the students behaviour concerning the above noted activities and their respect for the environment. A potential relationship between the responsible care for the health and the care for the environment is also investigated.
