Sažetak
This research examined the correlation between students' academic achievement and their membership in a sports club. 1041 male and female students from vocational secondary schools and general high schools from three counties of the Republic of Croatia participated in the research: 607 were from the City of Zagreb, 150 from Split-Dalmatia County and 284 from the Vukovar-Syrmia County. For the purpose of testing statistical significance, methods of inferential statistics were used and since the distribution of all variables treated as quantitative variables deviated in a statistically significant way from normal distribution, appropriate nonparametric tests were used. The research confirmed gender differences with regard to the number of registered athletes in favour of male students. It was shown that the number of students registered as members of a sport club decreases statistically significantly in the upper grades of secondary schools. In vocational secondary schools, a statistically significant difference in terms of academic achievement was confirmed, i. e. registered athletes have poorer academic success, whereas no statistically significant difference was confirmed with regard to academic success of registered athletes in general high schools. Students who are registered athletes differ statistically significantly in the number of kinesiological activities that they do in comparison to students not registered as sports club members.
