The research was focused on determination if persons at various stages of motivational readiness for leisure physical activity differ by the length of time spent in front of a TV/PC computer screen and attitudes towards such entertainment. Subject to research were 139 high school students aged 16 to 18. The findings refute the thesis that modern media tend to draw young people away from active leisure. Persons not undertaking physical activity spend an equal amount of time in front of a TV set or a PC as those undertaking physical activity systematically and regularly. In addition also the persons avoiding straining themselves place a high value of physical activity to their health.
