| الملخص: | This study investigate students’ well-being in physical activity, dividing the students into groups of high or low physical fitness based on maximal oxygen uptake. The students had participated in a larger longitudinal project from 8th grade to their second year at Upper Secondary school. In the present study, 26 students at the end of their second year were selected, where 13 students had high oxygen uptake and 13 students had low oxygen uptake. These students were interviewed and fulfilled a survey about their motivation in physical education. The quantitative results indicate no difference in the students well-being. The qualitative results are supporting some of these findings, but these results reveal that the well-being was perceived differently according to students’ physical fitness. Students with high oxygen uptake expected and experienced physical education lessons as exercises to become more fit, being comfortable in most activities. Students with lower oxygen uptake viewed upon physical activity as a practical break during the day, where they could be comfortable and practice on parts of the exercise.
