PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS AND PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ FREE TIME

Journal Title: Central European Journal of Sport Sciences and Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 2

Abstract

The aim of the research was to clarify if the attitude towards obligatory physical education classes differentiates psychical activity of primary school students in their free time. The method used in the research was a diagnostic survey, which included a shortened version of the HBSC questionnaire. 371 students (4th-6th graders) of primary school living in both urban and rural areas were questioned. Activities declared most often were: ball games, cycling, swimming, and running. Students who spent the biggest amount of time on outdoor activities were girls who eagerly participated in physical education lessons and boys who participated “although they didn’t really want to” or “because they had to”.
