The increasingly sedentary lifestyle and the occurrence of obesity in students indicate the need to determine their nutritional status and physical activity. The study aims to identify nutritional status indicators and physical activity indicators as well as to examine the correlation between physical activity level and nutritional status indicators of primary school students with regard to gender differences. The study was conducted on a sample of 33 male and 33 female fourth grade students of the Primary School dr. Jure Turić with an average age of 10 years. Based on the collected information, the need for increasing students' physical activity can be identified whether the majority of students are overweight. The sample of 10 variables consisted of a set of 6 anthropometric morphological variables, 4 procedures for calculating nutritional status indicators and the Physical Activity Questionnaire was used. Collected data in the research were compared with metric characteristics and were analysed by descriptive statistics methods. T-test and canonical discriminant analysis were applied to determine statistically significant differences between male and female students. Differences were identified in manifesting measures of morphological anthropometric characteristics indicators of nutritional status and physical activity of students regarding gender. The correlation of adipose tissue results, BMI results and physical activity results showed that students were predominantly of normal body weight and with enough physical activity (male students have slightly better results than female students).
