Abstract. The authors present the results of an inquiry on the out-of-school physical activities of nine-year-old male and female children. The research was carried out during the 2001/02 school year on a sample of 194 respondents, who were third grade elementary school students. Gender differences were determined by means of contingency tables and the chi-squared test. Statistically significant results for gender differences emerge from the research in the type of sports discipline the respondents participate in. No statistically significant gender distinctions were found in the quantity of the out-of-school physical activities.
Key words: elementary school, young pupils, leisure, physical activity, gender differences, boys, girls
VANŠKOLSKE FIZIČKE AKTIVNOSTI UČENIKA KOJI POHAĐAJU DRUGI TROGODIŠNJI PERIOD U DEVETOGODIŠNJOJ OSNOVNOJ ŠKOLI
Autori prikazuju rezultate za ispitivanje vanškolske fizičke aktivnosti za devetogodišnje devojčice i dečake. Istraživanje je bilo izvedeno u školskoj 2001/02 godini na uzorku od 194 odgovarajućih polaznika trostepene osnovne škole. Razlike u polu su bile određene sa korišćenjem tabela kontingencije i hi-kvadrat testom. Na osnovu rezultata istraživanja dobijena je statistički značajna razlika u odnosu na pol u vrsti sportskih disciplina u kojima su učestvovali ispitanici. Nema statistički značajnih razlika u odnosu na pol u kvantitetu vanškolskih fizičkih aktivnosti.
