Abstract

Physical activity of people plays increasingly more important role in scientific interest regarding way of life of contemporary society. It is also very important factor in the process of officiating of the level of healthy and active life style, quality of life and health in general and also in context of prevention of obesity. The term physical activity (PA) is mostly perceived as a synonym to the term healthy “active lifestyle", or more precisely as lifestyle linked with regular whole life motoric activity. As a such active lifestyle is a system of important activities and relations and associated practices focused on reaching undepreciated and harmonic state between physical and mental aspect of human being. Active transportation, as an indispensable part of healthy active way of life  refers to any form of human-powered transportation – walking, cycling, using a wheelchair, in-line skating or skateboarding. In Czech context, from the perspective of active ways of transportation to his/her work, most respondents prefer „inactive ways of transportation“ (cars, public transportation system); only less that one quorter of respondents use active ways of transportation (walking, biking). Men are more interested in biking, women in walking. Strong resistence against active ways of transportation to work is typical for young people in their early twenties.
