The health and proper functioning of the human body depends on physical activity. Since today fewer and fewer individuals are physically active, this causes several health conditions, both psychological and physical, that can be harmful to the individual. A lot of effort is invested in encouraging children and adults to move and be active regularly through schools and other organizations that promote physical activity. The aim of this research was to examine the level of physical activity of primary education students in the area of the city of Dubrovnik. Students of the second, third and fourth grades took part in the empirical research, i.e. students of two primary schools, Marin Drži Primary School and Montovjerna Primary School. The students were surveyed using a questionnaire that was anonymous. In the research, differences were obtained in how much students engage in certain physical activities. Boys mostly play football, while girls mostly play volleyball, dancing, vaulting and rollerblading. The research also shows differences in the age and gender of students for certain activities and their physical activity during the day. Finally, it is important to point out that through educational programs and the promotion of physical activity, we can create a society that values and practices a healthy lifestyle.
