The purpose of this study was to analyze differences in students' viewing in the second stage of elementary schools for the deaf or hard of hearing in physical education classes with other studies. In this study participated 86 students who are deaf or hard of hearing (56 boys and 30 girls; an average age of 14.3 ± 1.4 years). The one-sample and two-sample t-test were used to compare result of our study with results of the populations' studies in the Czech Republic and at Slovakia. All tests were performed at a level of α = .05. In the Importance and Demandingness indicator, statistical significance was confirmed. Students in our study considered physical education to be more important (2.02 ± 0.96, t = -2.777; p = 0.007) and demanding (3.23 ± 0.98, t = -3.009; p = 0.003) than students from Czech and Slovak general schools. In comparison of our study with the results of students from Czech general schools, the mean value was lower in the Popularity indicator and Czech students from general schools considered physical education to be more popular than our students. In comparison of small scopes study, statistically significant differences were found, where students in our study view physical education as more demanding (3.23 ± 0.98, t = -2.605; p = 0.010) compared to Slovak students with sensory disabilities. We can conclude that there is a trend where students who are deaf or hard of hearing view physical education as more important and demanding than students from general schools in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In addition, Czech students who are deaf or hard of hearing view physical education as more demanding compared to Slovak students with sensory disabilities.
