Abstract
The thesis deals with the physical condition of the adolescent girls and their attitudes towards the physical activity on different types of secondary schools. The research focuses on attitudes of adolescent girls to physical activity at school and during their leisure time. 12 high schools from Zlín region got involved in this study. High schools were divided into 3 groups. Grammar schools, schools specialized in business and schools specialized in health. Each group is characterized by similar types of school. All groups were represented by 4 particular high schools from Zlín region. A structured questionnaire was designed at first. To determine relative and absolute rate of attitudes obtained results were analysed. The research reveals that 42% of all involved adolescent girls are dissatisfied with contents of physical education. Most of adolescent girls simultaneously agree and understand that physical education should be part of curriculum. The most preferred physical activity is fitness training. 82% of all participants responded that fitness training should be more often included into contents of physical education. Outdoor and alternative activity together with ball games tend to be very popular too. It´s also obvious that popularity of particular sport is connected with individual motivation of participants. This research shows that the most of adolescent girls do sport or physical activity because of the fun or because of their desire to have better physical condition or nicer body. These 3 motivation factors achieved on average 79% from all types of high schools and are the most significant. In short results suggest that adolescent girls understand the benefits and importance of physical activity. The research also reveals girl´s dissatisfaction with form of physical education. It could be claimed that solution is inclusion of fitness training into contents of physical education. This type of activity tend to be close to adolescent girls and corresponds to their lifestyle.
