Introduction: In the context of this research, the concept “Quality of life” is a key term that subsumes kinesiological activity, eating habits, self-assessment of health and life satisfaction. Students were informed about the positive effects of physical activity on health and quality of life, but according to the results of the research, a higher percentage of students do not regularly participate in physical exercise programs above compulsory physical education in the first two years of study. Also, there is trend of dropping physical activity in senior years of study. The aim of the research is to determine the connection between kinesiological activities and the quality of life of students according to scientific and artistic fields of science. Method: 1170 undergraduate and graduate students of the University of Rijeka enrolled in the academic year 2017/18 participated in the research. Engagement in kinesiological activities and self-assessment of individual domains of quality of life was determined through an anonymous questionnaire designed from a compilation of measuring instruments - questionnaires used in empirical research for the student population. Results: The results of this research confirm the current scientific knowledge about the student population: unsatisfactory level of engagement in kinesiological activity and a significant difference in kinesiological activity engagement is found by gender and by field of science. It was determined that male students are engaged in kinesiological activity on average 4 hours, and female students 2 hours per week. Statistically significant differences were found in the engagement in kinesiological activity according to the field of science for students of technical and biotechnical fields of science. In the sample of students, the most important factor in choosing food was its sensory appeal related to the appearance, price, and availability of food. Students who are more engaged in kinesiological activity show a higher level of positive emotional states, but do not perceive general satisfaction with life and their own achievement more than others. Discussion: The first hypothesis of the research was confirmed: students of technical and biotechnical fields are more engaged in kinesiological activity than students involved in other sciences. Second hypothesis was not confirmed because there was no significant difference in engagement in kinesiological activity between undergraduate and graduate students. Third hypothesis claimed biomedical students have higher levels of motivation while choosing healthy foods, when compared to the rest of the student body. This hypothesis was not confirmed. Fourth hypothesis mentioned the correlation between engagement in kinesiological activity and the quality of life. It was partially confirmed due to students engaged in kinesiological activity experiencing more positive moods and emotions, but this did not have a significant influence on their perception of their general life satisfaction and own accomplishments. Conclusion: During the research there was a statistically significant correlation between the fields of science and the number of hours students spent perfoming kinesiological activity during the week. Moreover, the results of previous studies were confirmed during this research. In the mentioned studies the students studied technical sciences, unlike this research which included students of biotechnical sciences. In both cases, students of technical and biotechnical sciences were on average more engaged in kinesiological activity when compared to students in other fields of study. General student interest in specific kinesiological activities was analyzed and most students were interested in sports including a ball, athletics and nature sports. These results may be used when creating a curriculum and a program for physical education at the University of Rijeka. The Analysis of correlation between life satisfaction and the field of study, led to a conclusion that students of technical sciences have experienced a more positive and a low negative state of emotions when compared to students of other scientific fields of study. In conclusion, we can assume that the results of this study are consistent since students of technical fields of study were most engaged in kinesiological activities. This conclusion correlates to current results in which students highly engaged in kinesiological activities show a higher general life satisfaction.
