Abstract
Physical activity gives a chance of total psychophysical and social human development in the modern world. One of the most important tasks of physical activity is to promote care for health from an early age, which is why every action on this issue is essential. The aim of the study was to clarify the relationship between selected environmental and individual determinants with physical activity volume expressed in the number of steps taken by schoolchildren. The research was conducted among sixth-grade pupils of two selected schools in the Pomerania voivodeship. Subject were randomised and participated in both indoor and outdoor activities. Measurement of the number of steps in time of designed activities in the gym and in open space has been performed with pedometers. It should also be noted that place of physical activity is its important determinant: outdoor activities allowed taking about 6% more steps than during exercises in the gym. An even stronger conditional of physical activity was gender indicating boys. Bigger mobility of those people who are physically active in open space is an argument for the effectiveness this activity in stimulating of physical development.
