摘要：The main objective of the research was to analyse the differences in spending summer holidays of Slovenian children and youth in different periods of schooling. The research covered 10,030 tested individuals from Slovenian primary and secondary schools and from the university. The tested individuals answered a special questionnaire at home. The data were analysed by means of Pearson’s χ2 coefficient. The analysis has shown that there are certain differences in spending leisure time during summer holidays among different groups of tested individuals. Going to bed rather late, after 1 o’clock in the morning, among the majority of secondary school children is quite worrying. They tend to sleep longer or lie in, so that there is a general impression that many young people even sleep too long during summer holidays. Slovenian children and youth mostly watch TV during summer holidays. School children aged 11 to 14 spend up to 3 hours in front of TV daily. Students watch TV the least, they spend much more time than others in front of computer screens. Surprisingly, between 40% and 50% of Slovenian young people are not occupied by any computer activities during summer holidays. The comparison of sports activity frequency between certain groups of subjects shows that with age the frequency of sports activity decreases. The analysis of sports contents indicates that through growing up practising children’s ball games goes down as well as football, roller-skating, and cycling, but on the other hand, practising certain individual sports activities is increasing. The analysis of frequency of getting involved in organised sports activities shows that holiday sport programmes are most often frequented by school children between 11 and 14. Discovered trend of spending summer holidays and developmental characteristics of each subject sample should be considered when planning and preparing holiday sports activities.
