The aim of the study was an attempt to diagnose the phenomenon of absenteeism in PE lessons of high school youth.
The survey included 51 randomly selected students aged 14-18 from a selected high school in Lodz.
The research was carried out on the basis of the diagnostic survey method and the survey technique, while the research tool was a questionnaire constructed for the needs of the pilot studies, containing closed, semi-open and open questions
The results of the research were subjected to statistical analysis, determining the significance of differences using the chi-square test.
The research results indicate that girls (36,7%) less often and less willingly participate in PE lessons than boys (66,7%). The main reasons for absenteeism from physical education lessons are the teacher's approach and the way of conducting classes (7,9%); lack of awareness and knowledge of the benefits of physical activity (31,4%); lack of encouragement to take up physical activity on the part of relatives and the teacher (8%), and shame caused by the appearance of the body (13,5%).
