This article represents, in general, the purpose of our research that followed the influence of the physical education
lesson with rugby content on the motivation of the practice of curricular and extracurricular motor activities by high
school students. From the analysis of the monitoring documents (the record book and the physical education teacher’s
notebook) it resulted that the students in the experimental group, by including the means specific to rugby in the physical education lessons, increased their participation in classes. This fact is confirmed by the reduction in the number of
absences recorded by the class in physical education lessons during the school year, compared to both the previous year
of studies and the students in the control group. Also, the reduction in the number of absences from physical education
classes highlights a significant increase in the interest of students in the experimental group in practicing sports, either
individually or within sports groups outside the school, compared to students in the control group.
Keywords: physical education, rugby means, motivation, extracurricular activities, high school students.
