AB  - The submitted study represents a part of an extensive study focused on health and condition of the auxiliary musculoskeletal system in current high school and university students. Based on our research practice we can state that the functional condition of the musculoskeletal system of Czech high school and university students is unsatisfactory. The data of several research subsets have been presented within this research project. In order to gain a more complex insight into the area of the auxiliary musculoskeletal system, we carried out a questionnaire-style research focused on subjective evaluation of health and its individual components. A total of 1 022 high school students took part in this research, and 569 university students were used to compare the results. Besides that, the high school students took part in a survey to assess complementary activities aimed at improving the auxiliary musculoskeletal system. The goal of this survey was to assess the subjective level of health and its components in present-day high school students, and simultaneously evaluate activities connected to the care of the auxiliary musculoskeletal system. The outputs of this survey may serve for future work with students and for overall improvement of the functional auxiliary musculoskeletal system, and thus health in general. We assume that the submitted findings will be used in further work with our students in terms of health, healthy growth and development, and the prevention of negative phenomena in the area of the musculoskeletal system.
