Gymnastics is a reoccurring event in the physical education of many students. Despite this, there is still today limited research which describes the students? perspective and interest for this activity and if there are any differences between genders. The purpose of this study has therefore been to investigate students? interest for gymnastics and if there are any experiences, which can affect this interest. The study also aims at comparing girls? and boys? interest for gymnastics and if there are any experiences that can be effective. The method in this study has been two focus group interviews. The result shows that both focus groups have an equal interest for gymnastics. Although, they sometimes describe different experiences that affect their interest for the activity. In many ways this study confirms the results of earlier studies on students? interest and affective factors for different parts of physical education.
