Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to find out the structure of physical activity of children from the first grades of primary school in the opinion of their parents. The research was carried out in 2018‒2020 in Lodz. Parents of children from five primary schools, representing five districts of the city, were subjected to them. The study used the diagnostic survey method. In total, 521 survey questionnaires were obtained. Children of the surveyed parents in more than half of the cases undertake physical activity 2‒3 times a week. The most popular activities are swimming, football, martial arts and various forms of dancing. Girls mostly take up dance forms, boys mostly play football. The respondents also indicated that the best form of physical activity for children with posture defects is swimming. Summing up, it should be stated that the presented level and structure of physical activity of children from the younger classes of the primary school in Lodz is quite good, but it should be remembered that this is a declared state.
