Named after early 20th century Polish statesman Józef Piłsudski, it was founded in 1929 as the Central Institute for Physical Exercise. During the communist period (1947–1990) it was renamed to Karol Świerczewski Academy of Physical Education (Akademia Wychowania Fizycznego im. gen. broni Karola Świerczewskiego).

During World War II, pre-war chairman Jerzy Nadolski and six lecturers of the institute were among Poles murdered by the Russians in the large Katyn massacre in April–May 1940.[1]

Its rector is Bartosz Molik (elected for the 2020–2024 cadence).[2]

Part of the academy is located in Biała Podlaska.
