AB The aim of this study was to find and describe the possible causes of the interest, or lack of interest in adolescents in physical activity and physical education with use of qualitative analysis and to contribute to explication of other characteristics of physical behaviour. Further then to characterise "risky" behaviour of adolescents. Adolescents' opinions, the level of conditions and educational environment were gathered through semi-structured interviews and their following qualitative analysis with use of a paradigmatic model of axial coding of basic proven theory. Altogether 27 interviews with students from graduation classes were carried out following our four year long research project about physical activity. According to adolescents the principal cause of low level of physical activity is the lack of free time. School physical education is for most adolescents the only source of relatively intensive exercise. Favour of school physical education depends especially on the content of the lessons, the teacher's approach and the class team.
