Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the activities of the Academic Sports Association in Vilnius, but, above all, to show how it developed between 1920–1939 and what challenges and difficulties their members were facing. The author tries to answer the research question whether the sporting achievements of academic athletes connected with the USB were known and recognized outside the region of Vilnius.
