Nowadays, when all devices, mostly mobile phones, are highly accessible and most children own them, the question arises as to how much it affects their physical activity. Are they engaged, due to lifestyle changes, in less and less activities that require body movement, developing coordination, but also motor skills? The aim of this research is to determine whether there are differences in the physical activity of children from urban areas and children from rural areas, but also differences according to the gender. The study involved 96 of the third and fourth grade students. 53 students attended school in the city and 43 in the countryside. The level of physical activity was examined with the help of the PAQ-C questionnaire adapted to the primary school age. The level assessment questionnaire for physical activity PAQ-C (6) consists of 9 questions specifically evaluated on a scale of 5 degrees. The total result of physical activity is predicted based on the arithmetic mean of given answers specially evaluated on a scale from 1 to 5. The data were processed by the method of descriptive statistics, basic descriptive parameters were calculated, and then the T-test was used to determine differences in physical activity with respect to the place of residence and gender. The results show that there are very few statistically significant differences considering the place of living, but also in the view of gender. When talking about the place of residence, there are some differences which are visible only in physical activity during the evening (children from the rural areas are more active). As far as gender is concerned during the evening and during the big break in school, boys are more active than girls, but girls, on the other side, are more active in their free time. It can be concluded, due to only a few significant differences, that over time, differences in physical activity of children have become less and less present regardless of place of residence and regardless of gender.
