Abstract
In 1995 a questionnaire about sports activity participation was circulated among 202 families as a random sample in Ljubljana. The investigation included 686 persons, at least 8 years old. According to the frequency of participation in a sport activity the sample was divided into three similarly large groups. Regularly active were 36%, occasionally active 34%, and non-active 30%.
Looking at the frequency of participation in a sport activity no statistically significant differences between the sexes were found. However, this is the case only in Ljubljana and in other larger towns in Slovenia. In other areas, especially in the rural areas, men are much more active than women. The citizens of Ljubljana are the most active in the following sports: swimming, Alpine skiing, walking and mountaineering, cycling, tennis, jogging and basketball. The results of the questionnaire showed that the citizens would appreciate financial support from the authorities and adequate staffing as well as new (or renewed) sports facilities for swimming, tennis, running - jogging and cycling.
