The goal of the research was to analyze the relation between a physical activity and subjective well-being specified by the frequency of individually observed emotional experience. The research was realized with the group of respondents - graduate students studying at various types of universities in the Slovak Republic. The research sample consisted of 150 males and 230 females with the age average 20,8. The questionnaire was used to collect the research data. These obtained data were analyzed by the statistical analysis of 2 - test and Spearmen's correlation coefficient. According to our research findings, there is a significant relation between the respondents' physical activity level and the individual emotional experiences and life satisfaction.
