The aim of this study was to assess the level of physical activity in groups of students with different levels of educational engagement in physical activity while taking into account the realities of remote and traditional education. (2) Methods: The study was conducted among 200 students of 3 majors with varying degrees of curriculum related to physical activity, including students of physical education (n-73), tourism and recreation (n-65) and students of a non-physical education major (n-62). The survey technique used was the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). (3) Results: PE students are the most engaged in physical activity compared to other study groups. This pattern is particularly true for high physical activity. An interesting observation is that, in the post-lockdown period, there was no statistically significant difference between the physical activity levels of PE students and TR students. Meanwhile, such a difference in favor of PE students was evident during the lockdown period. (4) Conclusions: Educational links to physical activity appear to be an important factor in stimulating this activity during times of epidemiological emergency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph191811663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,16]],"date-time":"2022-09-16T03:48:04Z","timestamp":1663300084000},"page":"11663","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Physical Culture and Sports as an Educational Basis of Students\u2019 Healthy Physical Activities during and Post-Lockdown COVID-19 Restrictions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Remigiusz","family":"Dr\u00f3\u017cd\u017c","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physical Culture, Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport, 80-336 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6872-1697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Pasek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physical Culture, Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport, 80-336 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8855-7035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Zaj\u0105c","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Pedagogy and Speech Therapy, Kazimierz Wielki University, 85-064 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miros\u0142awa","family":"Szark-Eckardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Education, Kazimierz Wielki University, 85-064 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Individual and Collective Health","volume":"4","author":"Brukwicka","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
