The aim of the research was to study the diversity of the level of physical activity among the students according to their place of residence: a house (a detached house) or a flat (a residential block). The research was carried out in 2015 among 730 students (373 women and 357 men) of John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska (PSW). The method used in the research was the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) in its long version. The results have shown that there were no significant differences in the overall level of physical activity of both men and women according to their place of residence. However, significant differences have been noticed among female and male students as regards the physical activity connected to housework in favour of people living in houses. The same correlation was observed in favour of women living in flats (residential blocks).


research methodology
The aim of the research was to study the diversity of the level of physical activity among the students according to their place of residence: a house (a detached house) or a flat (a residential block).
It must be presupposed that living in a house creates more occasions for physical activity, for example as far as housework, gardening or taking care of family members are concerned.There is no doubt that the differentiation of the students' physical activity can occur in case of living on the university campus.Taking into consideration the fact that only 4,8% of the respondents live on the university campus, this place of residence was not taken into consideration in the analysis of research results.

Students' level of physical activity
The value of overall physical fitness of students was 6363.5 MET-min/week.In certain areas of activity the following values were noted: work/study -2068.8MET-min/week, sports -1.621.6 MET-min/week, locomotion -1402.2MET-min/week, house and surroundings -1270.9MET-min/week (Figure 1).

Students' level of physical activity according to their place of residence
Taking into consideration the fact that only 4.8% of examined students lived on the campus, only the students living in flats and houses were included in the research.Students who live in houses are characterized by higher overall physical activity (6609.2MET-min/week) than those who live in flats (5680.2MET-min/week), however the difference is not statistically significant.Students who live in houses are characterized by significantly higher physical activity in the area of housework (Figure 2, Table 2).The data from the three levels of students' physical activity, high, moderate and low, did not show any statistically significant differences between the compared groups (Figure 3).The level of physical activity of male students The studying men are characterized by high level of physical activity -7581.4MET-min/week with the highest values connected to the activity at work/study -2625.1 MET-min/week and in sports -2024.1 MET-min/week, and the lowest values concerning the activity in locomotion -1558.1 MET-min/week and housework.Substantially the highest physical activity was observed in activity at work/study (Figure 4).
Students living in houses are characterized by higher overall physical activity -8020.8MET-min/week than their peers who live in flats -6597.5 MET-min/week, however, the differences are not statistically significant.
The only statistically significant difference in favour of higher physical activity of men living in houses was observed in the area of housework (Figure 5, Table 3).The comparison of both analyzed groups according to their place of residence did not reveal any significance of differences in their physical activity levels (Figure 6).

The level of physical activity of female students
The rate of overall physical activity of studying women was 5197.9MET -min/week.However, no significance of differences between different areas of activity was revealed (Figure 7).Women living in flats, as well as in houses, were characterized by similar overall physical activity, respectively 5324.2 MET-min/week and 4717.4MET-min/week (no significant differences).Statistically significant differences were observed in two areas, that is housework (in favour of women living in houses) and sports (in favour of women living in flats) (Figure 8, Table 4).In three areas of physical activity no significant differences according to the place of residence were observed (Figure 9

Discussion
The students who took part in the research are characterized by high level of overall physical activity compared to other researches (Bergier et al., 2012;Biernat, 2011;Mynarski et al., 2009;Tsos et al., 2014).The research did not reveal significant differences in the level of overall physical activity according to the place of residence in both male and female students.It may result from the fact the available offer of physical activities does not differ according to the place of residence.Such a relation of higher physical activity was revealed in case of students from the USA living on the campus (Peachey, Baller, 2015).Multidirectional analysis of the relation of the living environment with the physical activity among German students did not show any significant dependencies (Baar et al., 2014).
However, it should be noticed that the analysis carried out revealed important relations between the fact of living in a house and higher physical activity as far as housework is concerned, what is more, this characteristic was present in both, male and female students.Therefore, it can be concluded that housework by virtue of place of residence is an important factor determining physical activity of students.
Also significantly higher activity in the area of sports and recreation among female students living in flats is worth mentioning, as no similar relation was found in male students which can be the reason of less healthy attitudes among male students as far as participation in physical activity is concerned.

Conclusions
The comparative analysis of the place of residence of students and their physical activity helped to formulate the following conclusions: 1. Students, according to their place of residence, are characterized by the lack of significance of differences in the level of their overall physical activity.This difference occurred however in the area of activity associated with the housework in favor of the group living in their family houses.2. In male students the dominant area of physical activity is work / study and it is significantly higher than other areas.3.There were no significant differences in overall physical activity of men according to the place of residence.
Such a difference has been shown in the area of activity concerning household duties in favor of subjects living in family houses.4. Additionally, as far as female students are concerned, no significant differences in the level of their total physical activity according to the place of residence were observed.Such differences have occurred in two areas of physical activity.Significantly higher values in terms of household duties were observed in subjects living in houses, while subjects living in flats (residential blocks) were more active in the area of sports.
730 students of John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska (PSW), representing 10 different areas of study, participated in the research carried out in 2015.The demographic characteristic including sex, place of residence and area of study is presented in figure 2.
