AB  - We have to view the structure of sport preferences as a complex process reflecting the interactions between situational factors (socio-economic characteristics), motivational factors (reasons for taking part in sport activity) and needs, which are fulfilled through the realization of a particular activity.The main objective of this survey was to analyze the structure of sport preferences and the level of physical activity (PA) of adolescents in relation with organized PA/physical education (PE).The character of our research was online - an internet-based research. We used two questionnaires: 1. online version of the sport preferences questionnaire, 2. online version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Both of them are accessible in the INDARES.COM project (www.indares.com).The survey proved its importance in the adequate choice of offered physical activity programs for children of the junior and senior school age with the potential to create conditions and environment for healthy and active lifestyle.The realization of the online survey approved to be a useful research technique, and if we are able to improve the current system and make it more attractive it has the potential to be really a beneficial research tool.
