Summary/Abstract: A Static lifestyle is possibly the most significant problem of modern physical education nowadays, which leads to several issues for the physical and mental development of the young generation. The age between 12 – 16 years is one of the most complicated periods in human development. This is the period of transition from childhood to adulthood. To lead a physically active life at that age and do different exercises is the most significant part to prevent the possibility of negative changes in physical and psyche health conditions. The hours of physical education 148 at school are extremely insufficient to cover the WHO recommendations for health prevention and physical activity. Carrying out the extracurricular activity of physical education and sports with the students is the only possibility for additional motor activity.
