In this way, the instrument used will be a questionnaire carried out and formulated by the research students, thus, it is intended to analyze through this, the main precursor interest of the practice, being the options: fun, hobby, relaxation, competence, self-esteem, physical health or by social influence, and the frequency of the activity carried out. In addition, as a secondary factor, an attempt is made to understand the reasons of those who do not carry out any type of activity, having as choice issues: financial reasons, lack of time, own choice and lack of motivation on the part of the university, and as an additional, ask if they intend to start some practice in the future. Based on the results, it is possible to deduce the importance of the practice of physical activities and mainly its benefits, which fit in the improvement sometimes, even, of the academic performance, and to associate such questions with the motives of the non-practitioners as well.
