Budući da suvremeni učenik ima puno slobodnog vremena, važno je potaknuti ga na kineziološke aktivnosti. U formiranju kvalitetnog slobodnog vremena učenika veliku ulogu imaju roditelji. Ne samo da trebaju poticati djecu na svakodnevno kretanje i vježbanje, već primjerom, kao uzori pokazati isto. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je ispitati kojim se aktivnostima učenici i roditelji bave u slobodno vrijeme, učestalost bavljenja kineziološkim aktivnostima, te stavove o važnosti istih. Osim toga provjereno je utječe li roditeljevo (ne)bavljenje kineziološkim aktivnostima, na pomoć djetetu oko odabira istih. Istraživanje je provedeno u dvije osnovne škole u Republici Hrvatskoj. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 136 učenika i 118 roditelja. Istraživanje je pokazalo da se čak 73% učenika, odnosno samo 36% roditelja bavi kineziološkim aktivnostima u slobodno vrijeme.The subject of this diploma thesis is the role of parents and physical activity in the student's leisure time.
