Differences in Attitudes of Drama Students towards Physical Exercise and Sports or Recreative Activities
Nenad Rađević, Mersad Čuljević
Abstract: 
The aim of this research is to determine the differences in attitudes toward physical exercise of students of Academy of Dramatic Arts in Banja Luka and Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo, and their interests in certain sports and recreational activities. The study included a total of 59 students of Academy of Dramatic Arts in Banja Luka and Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo. Given the requirements in terms of physical ability and physical appearance that contemporary theater and film production has for future actors, we believe that physical exercise should be their daily needs. The results of research have confirmed our opinion and pointed to a satisfactory level of physical activity of drama students. There was no significant difference in the attitudes of students toward physical exercise in relation to gender and place of study. The research results are encouraging, showing the awareness of students on the importance of practicing physical exercise in terms of improving the quality of life, as well as work and artistic creativity.
