Introduction. In 2013, the Cooper Institute from the U.S.A., along with the Hungarian School Sport Federation, implemented the National Student Fitness Test battery. In order to interpret the results, NETFIT uses a criterion-referenced standard depending on age and gender called the health standard, establishing the level of the subject in relation to certain objectives. This health standard corresponds to a minimal motor performance necessary to avoid certain risks of illnesses which may occur as a result of physical inactivity. The aim of this research is to determine the levels of health components of physical fitness among students in 1st year at Partium Christian University from Oradea, depending on their residential environment and gender. Material and methods. The research included a sample group of 112 students, aged 18 – 19 years. The health components of physical fitness were assessed by determining the adipose tissue level, two anthropometric measurements and 5 motor tests. Results. The registered data regarding the BMI values show that 13% of the students were overweight and 10% fell into the obese category. The female students with a low level of adipose tissue had significantly better results from statistical point of view at the standing broad jump test (rxy = - 0.42, df = 71, p < 0.001, rs = - 0.38, df = 71, p < 0.001). According to the data obtained at the motor tests, we found that at the standing broad jump test 49%, handgrip test 62.5%, paced curl-ups test 80%, flexibility test 64% and paced push-ups test 83% of the subjects fell within the healthy fitness zone. Conclusions. We consider that, in order to avoid risks due to insufficient physical activity, the level of biomotor potential of students must be related to their health. Not all students dream of performance and competitions, but they all want to be healthy!
