This paper represents the differences of relationship analysis between the physical activity, joy of physical activity and the areas of quality of life in secondary school students from Spiš region in Slovakia with different sports levels. The survey was attended by the boys and girls from secondary schools with an average age 17,42 years (n = 407). The quality of life was monitored through SQUALA questionnaire, through questionnaire PACES we monitored the joy from physical activities and the level of physical activity was examined by hours per week (PA).

Data are represented by descriptive characteristics (n, M, SD) and the significance of differences are measured by the nonparametric methods (W, U, rs).

The results showed the interactions between the PA, PACES and SQUALA in secondary school students. Positive interactions prevail in group of students who perform the physical activities occasionally and actively. Minimum number of interactions we found in groups of boys and girls who perform physical activities passively. Positive interactions PA with PACES was measured only in groups of boys who performed activities occasionally (rs = 0,217 p < 0,10) and actively (rs = 0,214 p < 0,05). Positive interactions PA with areas of SQUALA we find in students who perform the physical activities occasionally (physical well-being rs = 0,205 p < 0,10; spiritual well-being rs = 0,292 p < 0,05) and actively (appearance and things ownership rs = 0,176 p < 0,10). In girls group we did not find the positive interactions between PA with PACES or SQUALA.

The important relationships of PACES with SQUALA areas were recorded in groups of boys who perform the physical activities actively (physical well-being rs = 0,155 p < 0,20; material well-being rs = 0,143 p < 0,20) and in groups of girls who perform physical activities occasionally (physical well-being rs = 0,368 p < 0,05;material well-being rs = 0,226 p < 0,20) and passively (spiritual well-being rs = 0,377 p < 0,10; material well-being rs = 0,452 p < 0,10) or they were registered sportswomen (free time rs = 0,319 p < 0,20).
