The study presented has been carried out in the context of the Teaching Innovation and Improvement Project on healthy leisure in university students granted in the 2021/2022 academic year by the University of Salamanca (Spain), whose purpose was to answer the question of research on what leisure and free time activities are carried out and demanded by the youth population of the University of Salamanca. To achieve this objective, a qualitative methodology was chosen, where the focus of information was focused on capturing the experiences and subjective interpretations of the students through the analysis of narratives from open questions of a questionnaire prepared ad hoc considering the reviewed literature. The sample was made up of 487 students from the University of Salamanca. After carrying out the content analysis with the help of the Computer-Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Nvivo12, it is concluded that the majority of the participants consider that their leisure time is related to health and that their habits tend to be healthy; they feel satisfaction, relaxation, release and fun; They preferentially participate in sports activities, more in groups than individually, together with activities related to music, cultural activities, attendance at talks and conferences, cultural visits and volunteering. They demand an increase in trips and excursions, together with social activities of coexistence.
