Abstract

V originále

This paper deals with researching out-of-school physical activities of students who attend the higher grade of elementary schools in the region of Broumov. The research contained 203 children: 101 attending the 5th form; 102 attending the 9th form. Data were gathered through an anonymous questionnaire. It was found out that children perform physical activities which are not part of Physical Education on a daily basis. The results show that the age of children affect the frequency of daily physical activities, namely that the higher the children’s age, the smaller their interest in out-of-school physical activities. In the 5th form, 44 % of children performed some physical activity on a daily basis; whereas in the 9th form, it was only 32 % of the informants. Boys devote more time to physical activities than girls. Favorite physical activities were the same for both boys and girls; sex influenced only the order of the favorite activities. Boys stated the following order of favorite activities: ball games, cycling, and running. Girls stated a different order: cycling, running, ball games. Further, the students stated that they also spend their leisure time rollerblading, exercising (aerobics, Zumba, pilates, and gymnastics), dancing, horse riding, walking, combat sports (boxing, judo, and fencing). They also attend a number of hobby and leisure courses (Scouts, fire fighters, fishers, chess players) and fit centers.
