The study is about Physical Education as a subject that offers students in Upper Secondary School a possibility to a life long interest in exercising. The study focuses on whether there is a difference between study concentrate programmes and profession concentrate programmes. The study also includes differences among exercising and non-exercising students. Earlier research shows that many youths don’t have an exercise form that they spend their spare time in. This study is based on a quantitative questionnaire performed by 87 students in an Upper Secondary School in northern Sweden. The results indicate that the subject gives the student a good theoretical ground why they should exercise. The study also showed that the subject gives many of the students an exercise form that they believe that they can continue with. The students’ with the most negative attitudes regarding Physical Educations occurred in profession concentrate programmes and among girls.
