The aim of this paper is to introduce them, immediately before the adoption of the standards, possibly before their publishing in the Offi cial Journal, to the professional public as well as to prepare and activate them fi r the process of their incorporation and application in practice. The paper considers the basic features of PE standards: testability, direction at fundamental knowledge, abilities and skills; accumulation (taking into consideration contents of both elementary education cycles); differentiated approach to students; feasibility and obligation. By comparative analysis of a formulated, valid aim of PE, of syllabuses for elementary education and recommendations for the way of its realizations and features of educational standards for completion of elementary education, in which educational aims and tasks are concretized through students – acquisitions – outcomes visible in both behaviour and reasoning, the answer is given to the question of how to achieve better effects, increase PE quality with the capacities we have at our disposal. Directed at: ability in skills; knowledge on physical exercises and physical education by the, the standards objectively assessment, making thus the marks comparable and provide foundation for further development of self-evaluation instruments. One the major contributions of realization of instruction process in compliance with the educational standards is activation of teachers, students, parents and school. The paper also presents the dilemmas related to concrete problems in PE educational fi eld (subject), primarily in conditions for realization of PE syllabuses as well as realization of instruction contents within the fi rst cycle of elementary education, which however shall directly refl ect to possibilities of standard achievement for completion of compulsory education. Thus, the need is stressed to adopt the standards but also to ensure their full realization ay the end of the fi rst cycle of elementary education.
