The aim of our study was to analyse physical activities, wellness activities and other activities of people in their forties, i.e. people aged 40-49, who carry out in their daily lives. We also found out the physical fitness of this age group. To achieve our intention, we used a modified "Questionnaire to find out the physical activities and wellness activities of people in their forties", compiled especially for this occasion. The survey involved 75 women and the same number of men aged 40-49 years. The survey was conducted in 2020, just before the onset of the coronavirus epidemic. We used the statistical program Excel to process the results of the survey. The average age of the respondents was 45.2 years, BMI of men 26.4, women 23.7. Half of the respondents live in a city with more than 50,000 inhabitants, 47 % of women and 41 % of men have a university degree. 73 % of the interviewed men and 85 % of the interviewed women actively take care of their own condition. The most frequently mentioned physical activities realized in the last 12 months were walks (walking, trips, Nordic walking, hiking), followed by sports activities (most often sports games, cycling, swimming, skiing), activities in the fitness centre, group exercises (aerobics, yoga, Pilates etc.), own exercise, sauna and meditation. In the 12-minute running test men reached 1867 m and women 1613 m.
