title: [Remarks on sports education from the viewpoint of the pediatric neuropsychiatrist].
abstract: On the basis of studies reporting a deficiency of physical activities among pupils, possible causes are considered from the viewpoint of a child psychiatrist. Age-related particularities of developmental physiology and psychology lead to different attitudes concerning physical activities. Physical education at school does not sufficiently take into account these particularities nor does it sufficiently stimulate motivations for a good sport performance. A desirable alternative would be to offer a wide spectrum of freely chooseable but pedagogically supervised spare time sports.
