Abstract:

The World Health Organization recommends daily physical activity for at least 60 minutes for chil- dren, while for adults this recommendation amounts to at least 30 minutes a day. As part of daily physical activity, it is recommended to exercise at a moderate to high intensity for at least 10 minutes. Today, we are increasingly faced with the problem of sedentariness in both adults and children. It is considered that a school is a place where children could be expected to be more physically active because they spend a lot of time there. The subject of this research concerns the time spent in moderate to high-intensity physical activity (MVPA) dur- ing one day. A systematic review of two electronic data- bases (PubMed and Mlibrary) identified a small number of studies that analyzed MVPA between boys and girls. In the studies, organized physical exercise is cited as a way to make children more interested in exercise than usual. The research results of three selected studies in- dicate that students are not suﬃciently physically active and that there are no significant diﬀerences in MVPA val- ues between boys and girls (8 to 14 years of age). On the basis of highly qualified scientific studies, including only studies that measured MVPA with an accelerometer, it is observed that boys achieved higher values and are there- fore somewhat more physically active compared to girls.
