Sažetak
The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between physical activity and health-related physical fitness of 17 year old girls.233 schoolgirls who fulfilled all requirements of the study were selected for the statistical analysis. The study was carried out in two stages: 1) physical activity measurements and 2) health-related physical fitness testing. Physical activity of schoolgirls was measured using modified Short Form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Health-related physical fitness was estimated by measuring the following components: 1) speed and agility by 10x5m shuttle test (ms) ; 2) explosive power of legs by broad jump test (cm) ; 3) trunk strength by sit-ups test (N/30 sec) ; 4) flexibility by sitand- reach test (cm).In the research relationship between physical activity and health-related physical fitness one of the components – legs muscle explosive force was found. 17 year-age girls, experiencing higher physical activity, have better legs explosive force but among the same aged girls physical activity and health-related physical fitness components – flexibility, trunk strength, speed and agility – statistically significant relationships were not found.
