The World Health Organisation (in the further text WHO) defines physical activity as an activity which includes all movements, i.e daily activities in everyday life and recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week for adults and 60 minutes for children and adolescents. With the development of computer technology children are spending more and more time in front of computer screens and are leading a sedentary lifestyle, which has a negative impact on their quality of life. The aim of this research is to examine the level of physical engagement of the students of higher grades in the Elementary School “Dr. Franjo Tuđman“ in Lički Osik. The research was conducted among the pupils from the higher grades of Elementary School “Dr. Franjo Tuđman“ in Lički Osik, and for this purpose a standardized questionnaire for the estimation of the level of physical activity PAQ- C was used. The online questionnaire was available to the pupils via Google forms in the period of two weeks. The questionnaire for the estimation of the level of physical activity PAQ- C consisted of 10 questions. In total there were 73 surveyees, of which 34 boys and 39 girls. The results show that the majority of pupils from the higher grades of the elementary school “Dr. Franjo Tuđman Lički Osik “ engage in physical activities at least two or more times weekly, i.e 65 % of them played a sport two to six times, they danced or played a game in which they were highly active. 66% of the pupils engaged in a sport activity twice to six times per week in the evening hours and 77% of them were physically active immediately after school. The conclusion of this research is that the pupils of higher grades in the elementary school “Dr. Franjo Tuđman Lički Osik” engage in physical activity more than three times per week. It can also be concluded that boys are more physically active in comparison to the girls from the higher grades of the elementary school “Dr. Franjo Tuđman Lički Osik”. In addition to that, almost 50% of the surveyees engaged in some type of physical activity outside school hours (besides P.E classes). I believe that this thesis will contribute to a wider interest towards this subject, as there is insufficient research published on the subject of physical activity in higher grades of elementary schools in the Republic of Croatia. The research could be an ideal platform for further investigation and for promoting the engagement in physical activity in this selected generation.
