Abstract
Based on the importance of sport in a society and its sports culture, we will examine its role, focusing mostly on student sport. Sport in an academic environment over the years has proven that it occupies an important place and is of great importance for the continuous development of the rising generation. The benefits of sport are great, and the participation of students in various sports teams that conduct training activities several times a week, as well as their participation in sports competitions, have a positive and positive impact on their physical and mental development. In this scientific paper we look at the topic of sport in an academic environment and in particular the performance of the teams of the Medical University – Varna in student competitions for the period 2021–2022. Our goal is to track the results achieved and rankings in the sports competitions from the programs of Varna University, National University Championship, Summer University Sports Games and "Cup 8th December". A comparative analysis of the results achieved by student athletes from other universities in Varna and higher education institutions in the country is made, looking for evidence that the model of sports training at the Medical University – Varna is successful.
