Abstract

Istraživanje o kineziološkoj aktivnosti i prehrambenim navikama djece rane i predškolske dobi u Zagrebu otkrilo je ključne uvide u trenutne obrasce tjelesne aktivnosti i prehrane kod ove populacije. Kroz analizu rezultata anketa provedene među roditeljima, istraživanje je pokazalo da većina djece provodi značajno vrijeme u tjelesnim aktivnostima, pri čemu je najpopularniji oblik igre na otvorenom. Međutim, sudjelovanje u strukturiranim sportskim aktivnostima je relativno rijetko, što sugerira potrebu za većim naglaskom na organizirane sportske programe.
Što se tiče prehrambenih navika, istraživanje je otkrilo da djeca često konzumiraju prerađenu hranu i šećere u količinama koje mogu imati negativne posljedice na njihovo zdravlje. Roditelji su izrazili velike izazove u održavanju zdravih prehrambenih praksi zbog nedostatka vremena, dostupnosti zdravih namirnica i informacija.
Rezultati također pokazuju da je većina roditelja svjesna važnosti tjelesne aktivnosti i zdrave prehrane, ali se suočava s preprekama koje otežavaju postizanje tih ciljeva. Povećana podrška u obliku obrazovnih resursa, dostupnosti zdravih namirnica i organiziranih aktivnosti može pomoći u prevladavanju tih izazova.
U zaključku, istraživanje ukazuje na potrebu za poboljšanjem pristupa zdravim prehrambenim opcijama i strukturiranim kineziološkim aktivnostima te jačanju podrške roditeljima. Implementacija učinkovitih strategija može značajno unaprijediti zdravlje i razvoj djece u ranoj i predškolskoj dobi, stvaraju i vrste temelje za njihovu buduću dobrobit.

Abstract (english)

A study on the kinesiology activity and dietary habits of early and preschool-aged children in Zagreb revealed key insights into current patterns of physical activity and nutrition within this population. Through the analysis of survey results collected from parents, the research showed that most children spend significant time engaged in physical activities, with outdoor play being the most popular form. However, participation in structured sports activities is relatively rare, suggesting a need for greater emphasis on organized sports programs.
Regarding dietary habits, the study found that children frequently consume processed foods and sugars in amounts that could negatively impact their health. Parents expressed significant challenges in maintaining healthy eating practices due to time constraints, the availability of healthy food options, and lack of information.
The results also indicate that while most parents are aware of the importance of physical activity and healthy eating, they face obstacles that make achieving these goals difficult. Increased support in the form of educational resources, availability of healthy food options, and organized activities could help overcome these challenges.
In conclusion, the research highlights the need to improve access to healthy food options and structured sports activities, as well as to strengthen support for parents. Implementing effective strategies could significantly enhance the health and development of children in early and preschool years, laying a solid foundation for their future well-being.
