Abstract: One of the current problems of human society is how to improve the quality of life of the younger generation. Solving this issue is the subject of multidisciplinary research, which involves obtaining of a wide range of results in addition to more criteria for evaluating the quality of life. The purpose of the study was to determine whether there are differences in the quality of life between school children involved in sports and those who are not engaged in any sports. The study included a total of 50 secondary school children (25 athletics players and 25 who do not practice any sports) from different urban schools, with a mean age of 15 years, and a mean BMI of 18.8 kg/m². The athletes had an average sports experience of 3 and a half years, while the other group of children were not involved in sports that required physical exertion. All participants were tested by using the WHO index for the quality of life. The athletes also performed functional tests to assess their sports performance. The quality of life index test revealed that there was no difference in the results for the individual parameters. The running test showed a statistical significance for the criteria that are responsible for the aerobic fitness and the health status of the children who are involved in sports.

Keywords: school children, training, quality of life, running, endurance, tests
