The subjects were 51 (17 in each group) students in physical education classes, in which subject matters were team sports instructed by 6 physical education teachers at a junior high school and a senior high school in the same campus.Main findings are as follows.1) The results of ALT-PE were affected by the student's attitude toward physical education classes. The high attitude level of students tends to increase the rate of “ALT of motor activity” and “ALT of motor activity in main task”. However the low attitude level of students tends to decrease the rate of them.2) On the game situation, the student's attitude toward physical education classes affected the results of ALT-PE. High attitude level of students tends to increase the rates of “Engaged Motor Response” and “ALT of motor activity in main task”, and it tends to decrease the rate of “Waiting in Not Engaged”, On the other hand, the low attitude level of students tends to decrease the rates of “Engaged Motor Response” and “ALT of motor activity in main task”, and it tends to increase the rate of “Waiting in Not Engaged”. On the practice situation, the student's attitude toward physical education classes didn't affect them.
