The paper presents the results of relational analysis between physical activity, the joy of physical activity and the areas of quality of life among students with different level of sport performance. The survey was attended by primary school pupils at the age of 10. Quality of life was examined through a modified questionnaire SQUALA, enjoyment of physical activities by questionnaire PACES and the level of physical activity in a week in hours. The data are presented by the descriptive characteristics and statistical significance of differences, respectively relationships were assessed by nonparametric methods. The results showed the interaction between physical activity, the joy of physical activity and quality of life of pupils. The positive interaction of PA with quality of life is found in pupils performing physical activity occasionally, active and in registered athletes. It has been demonstrated a positive relationship with the physical activity physical well-being and with the joy of physical activities performed in the group of pupils performing physical activity occasionally. Positive interaction between the joy of movement and the areas of quality of life were found among pupils performing physical activity passive and occasionally. The minimum number of interactions was found in the group of registered athletes. The minimum numbers of interactions were found in the groups of active and registered athletes. The results reaffirm the importance of voluntary physical activities in the lives of children who have a high potential to increase the level of a lived joy of movement. The low number of interactions with the physical activity with the areas of life in 10 year old children indicates the need for further monitoring of this construct.
