Introduction: Current research indicates a gradual decrease in the level of physical activity and detorioration of aerobic capacity of the world population. In order to prevent the effects of sedentary lifestyle, health education workshop "Am I fit?" is being held in Slovenia. The purpose of this workshop is making participants aware of their physical capacity status based on aerobic capacity tests. Purpose: The purpose of this master thesis was to assess the level of aerobic capacity of adult Slovenes who attended workshop "Am I fit?" in 2018. Methods: The study included 3858 subjects of both genders, who attended the ‘’Am I fit’’ workshop in 2018. The subjects involved had to complete one of three aerobic capacity tests: 6- minute walk test, 2- minute step test or 2 km walking test. Results: The average age of the subjects was 52 years, of which 2/3 were men. The largest number of participants were from Celje and Raven na Koroškem, and the least from Kranj and Maribor. In the entire sample, we found statistically significant differences between genders, regions and subjects of different ages in 2 km walking test and 6- minute walk test (p < 0.001), while statistically significant differences in 2- minute step test were found only between subjects of different regions (p = 0.008), meanwhile there was not found statistically significant difference between genders and people of different ages (p> 0.05). Discussion and conclusion: Based on the results of all aerobic capacity tests, we found a statistically significant association between gender and certain categorization of aerobic capacity (p < 0.001), where a greater proportion of women achieved above average (+2.60%) and average results compared to men, who achieved average results of aerobic capacity (+11.49%). The correlation between age and aerobic capacity was negative and statistically significant at 6- minute walk test (r = -0.422, p < 0.001) and 2 km walking test (r = -0.074, p = 0.001), while this was not demonstrated at 2- minute step test (r = - 0.059, p = 0.483). We also observed a considerable influence of the environment on the aerobic capacity of the subjects. The best results at 6- minute walk test, 2- minute step test (> 60 years) and 2 km walking test were achieved by Slovenians from Celje and Maribor compared to other regions. From a public health perspective, knowing the factors that influence general physical inactivity is of great importance in further action to improve physical performance of population.
