EATING HABITS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF "DOLAC" PRIMARY SCHOOL IN LAŠVI DOC - IMPLICATIONS FOR THE TEACHING OF PHYSICAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: The study was conducted on a sample of 100 students from the upper grades of Primary School "Dolac" in Dolac na Lašvi. The aim was to determine students' dietary habits and examine their implications for Physical and Health Education. A survey method was used, with a 23-item questionnaire covering breakfast, fruit and vegetable intake, sweets and snacks, energy drinks, water, fish, meat, fast food, and school snacks. Data were processed using descriptive statistics and presented as frequencies and percentages. The results show that 74% of students regularly eat breakfast, 63% regularly consume fruit, while only 25% consume vegetables daily. At the same time, 58% consume sweets and snacks daily, 36% consume energy drinks, 86% consume fast food at least occasionally, and 80% most often choose bakery products as a school snack. The findings indicate the coexistence of positive and potentially risky dietary patterns. In relation to World Health Organization recommendations concerning dietary diversity, fruit and vegetable intake, and limiting free sugars, the results point to the need for continuous health education involving the school, family, and local community. Physical and Health Education can provide an important context for developing students' knowledge, practical skills, and critical attitudes toward healthy dietary choices.
