This research examines the influence of the locus of control on the preferences of leisure activities among students of the specialist graduate professional study "Preventive Physiotherapy". The aim was to determine whether there is a significant relationship between locus of control and preferences for leisure activities. The research was conducted through an online survey among 48 students. The results showed that students with an internal locus of control prefer productive activities aimed at personal development and health, while students with an external locus of control more often participate in activities that are less related to health goals. The most frequently spent activities include spending time with family and friends, creating and listening to music, and hobbies. Activities such as arts and crafts and computer games were the least popular. However, statistical analysis of t-tests for independent samples showed that there were no statistically significant differences in preferences for leisure activities between students with internal and external locus of control, given that all p-values were greater than 0.05. In conclusion, the results suggest that locus of control does not play a key role in determining preferences for leisure activities among the students included in this study. Future research should include larger and more diverse samples to better understand the association between locus of control and preferences for leisure activities. The results of this research can help in the development of programs that encourage an active and healthy lifestyle among students, adapted to their perceptions of control and personal preferences.
