Sports activities are important factors in the prevention of the incidence and development of cardiovascular diseases. The goal of this article was to find out, describe and assess the relationship of the finances spent on sports activities to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases to education, employment and marital status. The research was carried out using the quantitative research strategy (a non-standardized questionnaire). The sample group (1,992 people from the Czech Republic - 937 men and 1,055 women) had the typical structure of the Czech population and was representative from the point of view of regions, gender and age. The results showed statistically significant relationships between the money spent monthly on sports activities to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases. Respondents with a higher level of education invested more money in sports activities than those with a lower level of education. Employed and self-employed people invested more money in sports activities than pensioners. Single people invest more in sports activities; the widowed invest less, which could be caused by the fact that the Czech Republic is undergoing a change in the population structure. These facts provide medical workers with valuable information that can be used in practice. This information can help to make medical consulting regarding sports activities more efficient and so prevent cardiovascular diseases. It also points out the necessity of an individual approach regarding practical recommendations in relation to education, employment and marital status.
