Abstrakt: The goal of this research was to determine the percentual relation of body weight of preparatory preschool children and the weight of their bag in the frame of the standards prescribed from the World Health Organization and their attitude towards the schoolbag. The research had transversal character and it was realized in the second term o f2015/2016 school year in preschool institution "Decija Radost " in Svilajnac. The sample of examinees consisted of 90 boys and 90 girls. The results indicate a large span of values of body weight, a schoolbag's weight and percentage relationship of body weight and a preschoolers ' bag weight. The percentage relationship for boys and girls overcomes 10% of the prescribed values from the World Health Organization. Most boys arrive to kindergarten on foot, and most girls arrive by car. A schoolbag is carried on both shoulders. In most of the cases parents help their preschoolers in packing of the schoolbag. The pain during carrying of the schoolbag is present and the most prominent in the neck and back. A heavy bag of preschoolers and later pupils of younger school age is not a problem only in Serbia but in the whole world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
