**6. Possibilities for performing sports in the town of residence in the opinion of German school students**

The studied German students had the opportunity to comment on the possibility of practicing recreational sport at their place of residence (**Figure 5**). More than ½ of the surveyed youth considered them as large and about ¼ as average.

ROC statistical analysis on the assessment of German youth regarding the possibility for practicing sports at the place of residence has shown that both boys and girls generally perceive these opportunities in a similar way (**Table 13**). This is confirmed by the lack of statistically significant differences, as well as the value of the Odds Ratio (1.03–1.11).

Statistical analysis of assessment related to the possibility for practicing sport at the place of residence has shown that boys from both large cities and small towns generally regard them in a similar way (**Table 14**). In none of the categories of responses were there statistically significant differences, while boys from a small town 1.39 times more often than boys from a big city were of the opinion that the opportunities to practice sports are small in their city, and in turn, boys from a big city declared 1.22 times more often that these possibilities are large. Analogous relations concerning the opinions of girls about the possibilities of practicing sports in both environments are shown via the results presented in **Table 15**.
