The research instrument consists of a questionnaire consisting of 4 main blocks: demographic characteristics, physical activity, health indicators, motivation assessment questions. The study found that eleventh grade students are more physically active, but no statistically significant differences were found when comparing groups. Most of the subjects evaluate their health condition as very good, usually the subjects engage in physical activities 2-3 times a week, during which they sweat, change their respiration rate and exercise usually lasts up to 1 hour. Subjects are most motivated to engage in physical activity by internal motives, i. the desire to be more physically attractive, the pursuit of better health. Subjects lacked the role of the physical education teacher as an authority, the variety of activities he / she applies in the sessions, the closer collaboration, the sports inventory, the adaptation of the activities according to gender, cultural differences and students' hobbies
