Abstract:
The educational effects and living conditions' impact on the physical activity of boys with unequal social status have been investigated. Children from under school age to secondary school age, living in different towns and regions of the country have been studied. The indicators used for physical activity are 60 meters sprint, long jump, right and left hand small ball throw. A comprehensive analysis of the studied indicators is made. It has been found out that the boys from the asylums aged from 3 to 6 years living in town have significantly poorer results in the sprint events compared to the mean standards for the age.
