Physical education and sport play a major role in maintaining healthy lifestyle as well as overcoming negative habits. More and more people are getting involved in various types of physical activity. Most of the students also would love to do sport in order to maintain a good health and spend a good time. Lack of funding is an issue the higher education establishments face trying to ensure students with a possibility to do sport properly. Therefore it is necessary to assign state’s supported grants for sport provision at higher educational establishments. A study about mandatory sports classes in the Riga Technical University (RTU) was conducted in order to determine the needs of students. A conclusion was drawn that students are more eager to choose kinds of sport where emotional expressions are involved. Another important agent is proximity of venue of classes to the place of study. 120 – 130 Euro per student is necessary to organize a physical education classes.
