Introduction. The problem of overloading children with too heavy schoolbags has been repeatedly reported in the period between August and September. Material and method. The survey was conducted in a group of 65 parents of children aged 7 years. The survey included 9 questions. Conclusions. (1) Parents usually declare they know the health status of their children. They believe that the child will be carrying a four-kilogram schoolbag on his or her back, learn using conventional methods (without tablets), and spend about two hours on improving their physical fitness. (2) The development of physical fitness and the prevention of static posture disorders are not supported by parents' acceptance of the preorientation of the children's lifestyles.References
