The Erasmus+ program provides opportunities for both students and educators to study and exchange experiences at various universities abroad, thereby promoting the academic and cultural development of its participants. In September 2023, a study was conducted at the University of Social and Medical Sciences in Lublin, Poland, aiming to examine the level of health culture and the role of sports in the daily lives of students and educators involved in the program. Sports, as part of the educational process, play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, in many foreign universities, sports activities are either not included in the curriculum or are allocated minimal time. In the context of studying abroad, students often face challenges related to the lack of structured sports activities and limited time for physical exercise. This study aims to explore how Erasmus+ students perceive physical activity, their habits, and how universities in different countries integrate sports into their academic programs. The findings of the study will provide valuable insights into the significance of sports and offer recommendations for better integrating physical activity into the lives of students participating in the Erasmus+ program.
