Abstract		The aerobic capacity represents one of the basic human capacities without which serious sports activities are almost unimaginable. Besides being important in sports activities, it also plays a major role in everyday life. Therefore heart rate monitoring during sports education classes is no novelty. For more than 25 years, an annual analysis of the state of various motor capacities and morphologic characteristich of schoolchildren in Slovenia has been carried out at the Faculty of Sports. The results of the past 20 years show that aerobic capacities of schoolchildren are decreasing gradually from year to year. These data were also comfirmed by an analysis of the 1991-95 re-sults of seventh grade pupils of all Slovenia primary schools. As the poor state of the aerobic capacities will doubtlessly also be reflected in other dimensios of the psychosomatic status, these results should cause concern and lead to the search for effective solutions which would turn the development trend of this capacity in a positive direction again.
