Attitudes of students towards Physical Education were determined by Mercer’s inventory of attitudes, which was modifi ed for research in primary schools and secondary schools. With the application of this inventory of attitudes we tried to determine the infl uence of school age on forming of students’ attitudes towards Physical Education. The specimen had 140 students which were divided into four sub specimens – according to the criterion of age. With the procedures of multivariant analysis there were signifi cant statistical differences between four classes, comparing six signs, evaluation of attitude to Physical Education. By the application of Roy’s test statistically signifi cant difference was determined between four classes in fi ve from six researched signs. By the procedures of discriminative analysis there were statistically signifi cant differences and clearly defi ned limits between four classes.
