The purpose with this study is to examine pupils´ physical activity habits in grade 4-6 in their sport association and discuss pedagogical and didactical consequences of the pupils' physical activity habits. Earlier research confirms that students´physical activity has been low for a long period. To collect data for this study I decided to do a survey and 148 pupils in grade 4-6 answered the survey. The survey was then decoded with the help of Central Bureau Of Statistics template. Which was then transferred into diagrams for further analysis and interpretation. The coding gave the study’s results five different categories, Social economics, Living, Gender, Ethnicity, and Gender/Ethnicity. These categories were analyzed and interpreted with the help of the theoretical framework of habitus. The results shows that social economic background of the pupils´ has very little impact on their physical activity. Small differences could be found between the different genders where boys tend to be more physically active than girls. In the category gender and ethnicity, the results showed that girls that was born outside of Sweden tended not to be physically active enough to maintain good health according to the recommendations recommended by the Swedish Public Health Agency. The individual habitus has been shown to be most affected when it comes to where the students live. Those who live in a smaller town have fewer choices for physical activities.
