[b]The aim of the study.[/b] To analyze recreational sports activity of pupils from alpine region of Germany considering sex and the size of the town. This explicitly includes motives, behavior and attitude toward this activity and selected elements of physical education. Another aim was to determine the statistically significant correlations between physical education mark, possibilities of doing sports and level of sports activity.[b]Material and methods.[/b] The research was conducted in 2012 among 387 people – pupils from the final class of grammar schools in Alpine region in Germany. It were 91 boys and 97 girls from a large town (over 1 million inhabitants) and 93 boys and 106 girls from a small town (15.000 inhabitants) using ATPA (Attitude Toward Physical Activity) by Kenyon, modified by the author of this research to check the motives of recreational sports activity of the pupils. Furthermore it was used a questionaire to check certain items of leisure and school sports activity. In addition, it was used an attitiude scale to assess the importance of physical education among other school subjects.[b]Results and conclusions.[/b] The most important motives of sports activity of the pupils are health, ascetic experience and social experience. The boys prefer risk and ascetic experience and the girls health and aesthetic experience. The favourite leisure activities of the youth were meeting friends and doing sports (second place among boys and fourth place among girls). The youth is physically very active, which is reflected in the frequency of doing sports and the large number of kinds of sport. It depends on the sex and the size of the town. The most played sports by boys are football, bike-riding and swimming and by the girls bike-riding, horse-riding and swimming. Extreme sport activities are not practiced, but they are desired activities. The pupils get good marks in physical education, want more lessons and in their opinion it is the favourite school subject. 81 percent of the pupils are going to do sports after finishing school. It was determined that there are correlations between physical education mark, possibilities of doing sports and level of sports activity.
