This study presents the level of general physical performance and physical development of 7 years old pupils from all public primary schools in Banská Bystrica (n = 492, boys n = 252, age = 7.39, ± 0.43 years, girls n = 240, age = 7.24, ± 0.34) and findings about the after-school physical activity of pupils. The following indicators of physical development were monitored: body height, body weight and BMI. The following indicators of general physical performance were monitored: sit-and-reach test, standing long jump, sit-ups, flexed arm hang, shuttle run 4 x 10 m and endurance shuttle run. Body height and body weight of the boys was higher (p 0.05). Statistical analysis of the results of the level of physical performance showed that the boys reached higher level (p 0.05). The girls reached higher level (p < 0.05) in the sit-and-reach test. Achieved results of this study are diverse in confrontation with the results of other authors. 63.1 % of the boys stated the after-school physical activity within 1-3 times in a week. 56.7 % of the girls stated the after-school physical activity within 1-3 times in a week.
