| Description | The article studies key areas of lifestyle by basic school pupils of adolescent age. The aim of the study was to discover whether an appropriately applied physical activity helps to develop an appropriate nutritional and physical behavior and whether it minimizes the occurrence of the addictive behavior by the pupils. Pupils of schools with expanded curricula showed better nutritional and physical behaviors and less smoking or drinking alcohol. The study questioned 204 basic and grammar schools pupils through an anonymous questionnaire consisting of 15 questions with close-ended answers. Of the sample of respondents, 89 were students of schools with expanded physical education curricula and 115 were students of schools with regular curricula. The questionnaire consisted 15 questions. A P<0.001 (x2) was statistically significant. As a result, we could claim that a process of preventing an appropriate lifestyle from negative factors may be significantly empowered by an existence of expanded physical education curriculum. Increasing the amount of physical activities within regular basic schools curricula, the children’ health and their addiction resistance may be positively enhanced. (WoS:000285400800865) |
