The article presents the results of a study on the activity of schoolchildren, their willingness to engage in various sports in their free time. In order to determine the most popular types of motor activity of schoolchildren, a survey was conducted in Google Forms of Surgut schoolchildren. The analysis of the survey showed that schoolchildren spend their free time on weekends doing their favorite thing, helping their parents, playing sports, spending time on the computer or phone and TV, reading books and only a small part spend their free time outside. Schoolchildren understand that physical activity contributes to their harmonious development and has long-term positive consequences for their health and well-being, and social networks are considered by them as less important and less useful activities.
