The purpose of this Master's Thesis was to investigate the lifestyle of students at the Faculty of Sport, during the second quarantine due to the covid-19 epidemic. We investigated the impact of the closure of public life during the second wave of the epidemic on lifestyle, especially on physical activities. We also analyzed the mental well-being of students. The study included students of the Faculty of Sports, of all three study programs: Sports Training, Sports Education and Kinesiology. They completed the questionnaire, which was available from 1 January 2021 to 31 January 2021 on the 1KA website. The results of the online questionnaire were analyzed using IBM SPSS 25 (SPSS Inc., Armonk, New York, USA). Mann-Whitey U test, Wilcoxon test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used in the statistical analysis. Altogether, 386 students participated, who were on average 21.1 years old. We found that men and women were more physically active before quarantine than during the quarantine period, and that the amount of physical activity decreased for men more than for women. Among the most physically active were the students of the Sports Training program. The time spent in front of screens increased for students, the sitting time increased, motivation for study obligations decreased, and some people experienced back pain. Containment measures have had the effect of reducing the amount and intensity of physical activity. We found that students adjusted physical activity by performing outdoor activities and exercising with their own weight and improvised aids. The most common emotions and feelings experienced by students were fatigue, tiredness, and lack of motivation. Due to the low proportion of students who recovered from covid-19 or had quarantine ordered, we could not confirm whether covid-19 recovery had an impact on physical activity. Through research, we found that the closure of public life affected the lifestyle of students.
