The aim of this article is to show the positive effects of physical activities in the prevention of cardiovascular illnesses and the options of nurses and doctors in providing education regarding physical activities. The data were collected using the quantitative research method, which intended to find out the level of education regarding physical activities. We can say that doctors speak with their patients about physical activities more frequently than nurses. Approximately one fifth of doctors always or frequently speak about changes in physical activities and almost one quarter do not speak about it with the patients at all. The frequency of conversations with doctors about the changes in physical activities varies by patients' gender, age, education, marital status, place of residence and employment. 11.4% of nurses always or frequently speak about this topic with patients and two fifths never speak about it. The frequency of conversations with nurses about the changes in physical activities varies by patients' gender, age, education, marital status, place of residence and employment. People assess the influence of doctors more positively. 24.8% of respondents assessed a nurse's influence as very good or good, 51.1% assessed it as average and 24.1% assessed it as bad. The assessment of a nurse's influence regarding changes in physical activities was related to patients' gender, size of residence and employment. The research showed that, although the activities are offered by medical personnel, mostly people between 40 and 59 years do not use this possibility.
