Sažetak
Proper physical activity is important for the prevention of obesity, the prevalence of which is increasing in children. Physical education (PE), as part of the curriculum, contributes to the overall physical activity of children and adolescents throughout the day and has a potential role in obesity prevention. The aim of this research was to determine the existence of scientifically unjustified exemptions from PE classes, examine the relationship between sociodemographic factors and the adjustment of classes, define the incidence of the types and duration of exemptions, and identify the most common groups of the diseases on the basis of which students receive PE medical exemption approvals. This research recruited 655 pupils and students from Osijek-Baranja County who were exempted from PE classes during the 2021-2022 school year. All data were obtained from their medical records and the school medicine application Complete.Prevention. The results showed that gender was associated with the duration of exemption (p=0.006), with 2/3 of the respondents being female. Place of residence was not associated with the typse and the duration of exemption (p=0.07). The majority of respondents had musculoskeletal diseases (32.06%), with 10.99% of all respondents having recurrent dislocation of the patella. The proportion of respondents who had permanent exemption was 74.20%, while the proportion of respondents with complete exemption was 52.68%. The obtained results indicate the existence of scientifically unjustified exemptions from PE classes. They also highlight the importance of educating doctors who issue PE medical exemption approvals and the need for increased control over the process of issuing such approvals.
