Abstract
The basic goal of this study was to estimate extracurricular physical activity and physical fitness level on a sample of 333 children of older school age. Analyses were performed by gender, school age and extracurricular physical activities. Pupils of 5th grade were at least involved in extracurricular physical activity. Boys are more active than girls. For pupils who are not physically active body mass index values were increased (obesity rate in physically inactive boys was 5.2 - 6.2%, and girls 3.4 - 6.7%, whereas in physically active boys 1.2-1.4% and girls 0.7-2.1%). For schoolgirls, in all analyzed groups obesity was observed. Except in 5thgrade, among all other groups of subjects was statistically significant difference compared to the values cardiorespiratory fitness in favor of the respondents who had extracurricular physical activity. Cardiorespiratory fitness is generally below the level of good as compared to norms for this age.
