Komparace postojů a názorů adolescentů ve věku 15–18 let ke sportu a pohybovým aktivitám

In the article we present the research results carried out in 2015. The research was focused on recognition of adolescents’ opinions and attitudes (15–18 years of age) towards physical activities and sport from different points of view. A subtask dealt with comparing the research of compatible items resulting of the questionnaire PASA conducted in 2000 (Slepička et al., 2001). The work hypothesis assumed certain differences in the real estimates of own sporting and physical activities including the selection of practised sports. Data were analysed by the questionnaire PASA (physical activities and sport in adolescents), which was presented among adolescents at secondary schools (Grammar schools). In general, 1067 respondents were inquired, 468 of them boys and 599 girls. Regarding the results it is clear that in 2000 more than 50 % of boys aged 15 to 18 years of age did physically nothing at all or were just hardly keeping current physical condition. In 2015 only 40 %, which means improvement of about 10 % in favor of physical activities and sports among boys. As for the girls it was over 61 % (2000) and 45 % (2015), and that was a surprising improvement in favor of physical activities and sports of 16,1 %. Within the fifteen-year period, the selection of sports among boys, was almost identical. They preferred football and cycling. in the third place it was sightly different – in 2000, they preferred martial arts while in the year 2015 jogging. The girls differed more in the year 2000, the ranking was – aerobics, volleyball and cycling, but in 2015 – beach volleyball, work out (home exercise) and orienteering.
