The benefitsaim of monitoring physical fitness are multifaceted. It provides information that can be directed for prevention and improvement of health, indicates an individual's progress, and provides the ability of targeting on individual sports. The purpose of the paper is to assess the progress in individual components of physical fitness of students during the school year, and to assess the significance of differences in the progress of certain components of physical fitness with regard to nutritional status.
Methods: Thethis study was conductedto ondetermine athe samplefrequency of 39electronic thirdmedia gradersuse by primary school children and the intensity of their participation in certain physical activities, as well as to investigate the relationship between parental prohibition of electronic media use and encouraging children to participate in various leisure activities, and finally, to determine which activities children prefer in their leisure time. The research included 509 parents of primary school (9children yearsin ±four 6primary months).schools Thein motorZagreb component of physical fitness was evaluated based on hand taping tests, standing long jump, polygon backwards, sit up test, and sit and reach test.

The results revealed statistically significant differences between parents who restrict their children’s access to electronic media and those who do not.

Results: Of the total sample, 74.36% had a normal nutritional status, 20.51% were overweight, and 5.13% were obese. In the first measurement, regarding the nutritional status, astatistically significant difference was obtainednot established between these same two categories of parents in relation to the handactivities tappingthat test,children prefer to do in their free time. The conclusion is that parental control over the use of electronic media has positive effects because it is associated with encouraging children to participate in activities useful for their growth and in the second measurement in all motor tests. Respondents with normal weight achieved the best results in tests for speed, explosive power, coordination, and repetitive power. Also, respondents with a normal nutritional status achieved the best results in tests for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness.
Conclusion: Nutritional status can be reflected on progress in certain components of physical fitness.development.
