Recent research has indicated that from adolescence to adulthood, people show a decline on the amount of physical activity performed and they tend to adopt an unhealthy lifestyle. Consequently, this research aims at analysing the evolution of the healthy habits showed by undergraduate students in sports sciences during three years. A total of 251 students (76.9% men), took part in this three-year longitudinal study (91, 85 and 75 students during the first, second and third year respectively). An analysis of variance (ANOVA), stratified by gender, and a multiple regression statistical approach for each year studied, were carried out. The data indicates that during the first year, students perform less physical activity and show a greater sitting time, than during the following two academic years. An increase in alcohol and tobacco consumption is observed from the first year onwards. The group of students analysed was less sedentary, and the amount of physical performed by them increased during the three academic years. An increased tobacco, alcohol consumption as well as an increased drug use, was observed.
