By the application of Mercer’s inventory of attitudes, the influence of weekly number of Physical Education lessons was determined to the forming of student’s attitudes towards Physical Education. The specimen included 202 examinees, divided in two subspecimens - according to the criteria of weekly number of lessons: 100 examinees with three lessons per week and 102 examinees with two lessons per week. By the procedures of descriptive statistics, as well as by the application of multivariant analysis of variance, and with Roy’s test and discriminative analysis the differences in attitudes we researched between secondary school students. On the basis of statistically significant differences between subspecimens, it can be determined with certainty that more Physical Education lesson per week influenced the forming of more positive attitudes of students towards Physical Education. The results have a great impact on engaging all relevant subjects who deal with Physical Education processes, which is good for forming more positive attitudes towards Physical Education.
