<title>Abstract</title> One of the more important goals of a modern public health strategy is to increase physical activity. Children should be implemented to spend their free time actively. Physical activity reduces depression, reduces anxiety and fear, and increases human immunity in the event of stressful situations.In order to write the thesis, a research tool was used, which is the author's questionnaire. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed, of which 96 were submitted, while 4 questionnaires were left blank by students. Gender does not affect physical activity and participation in physical education classes among children and youth from the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. Younger subjects practice physical education more regularly. The conducted research showed that women more often use exemptions from physical education classes than men. Both physical education teacher and parents do not affect the physical activity of children and youth from the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. Most respondents prefer to practice individually or with a friend. Almost half of the respondents believe that physical education classes are at an average level.
