Sažetak
The article shows the empirical research which was carried out to present how children are overburdened by the weight of their school bags. 107 pupils who are now in the fifth grade and this year are finishing the eight-year-primary school and next year they are continuing in the nine-year- primary school were included in the research. We confirmed the finding that at average the weight of a school bag of eleven years old pupil does not exceed 10 per cents which is the highest value at one hour burdening. At twelve years old pupils the weight of school bags increases for 3, 59 % of body weight of a pupil and that represents 13, 17 % in relation to body weight. And there the critical point is exceeded. Obviously, there is a statistical discrepancy in the weight of school bags between eleven and twelve year’s old pupils. The reasons for the increase of weight should be looked for in school schedules for both grades and in the increase of the use of textbooks in the seventh grade of nine-year primary school.
