This paper analyzes the relations between two chosen research issues: motor
behaviour and socio-economic environment of children aged 7-11. In this
research were used the information of the respondents from I to IV grade of
primary schools in Novi Sad. The sample group consisted of 361 respondents
(190 boys and 171 girls). Based on these results, the authors conclude that
the opportunities and threats of socio-economic environment that children
grow up in, affect their participation in a physical activity. The most
important factor of socio-economic status, which determines the participation
of children in a physical activity, is sport engagement of their parents.
