ENDuring the annual schoolchildren’s examination, a medical specialist – a family doctor, assigns schoolchildren to physical education groups in accordance with their state of health. The schoolchildren who have continuous or temporary health disorders, are assigned to the special physical education group (SPEG). Main aim of the research was to carry out the analysis of a special physical education group (SPEG) students’ physical activity situation during physical education classes and leisure time in several schools of Lithuania. Research subject and methods. The research involved 308 assigned SPEG students from 34 Lithuanian schools. Surveying method tested: students’ appointment to SPEG reasons, type of work with SPEG students during physical education classes, SPEG students’ physical activity self-evaluation. The received data were calculated using Excel 2016. Research results. Most students were assigned to SPEG because of vision, cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal apparatus disorders, asthma, and diabetes. The surveyed SPEG students claimed that they like to play sports, play games, do physical exercises. Most of them have a favorite type of sport or a vibrant leisure time activity (basketball, volleyball, dancing), but 80% do not attend anything or attend immobile after-school activities (art, language, music or science clubs). For the majority (96%) of respondents physical education classes are held in conjunction with the class, 78% of surveyed students believe that exercises given during physical education classes are done fairly. Highlighted problems during the research: the majority of respondents said that they do not feel healthy and do not know what exercise their doctor recommends. 79% of physical education teachers do not assign special tasks for SPEG students during physical education classes and 75% do not explain intelligibly the impact of exercise for the body.SPEG students’ families are not physically active (68%). Senior school students spend more time by the computer, the television, and are less physically active than the 5–8th grade students. Conclusions. Summarizing the research data we can say that the special physical education group students’ physical activity in physical education classes and leisure time is insufficient and the main reasons are low physical activity in families and lack of physical education teachers` professional competence.
