Abstract

Predmet ovog rada je važnost i uloga tjelesne aktivnosti i zdrave prehrane kod djece predškolske dobi. Ova se tema ističe kao sastavni faktor u predškolskom odgoju djece zbog iznimnog utjecaja na budući psihofizički razvoj djece. Cilj rada bio je na strukturiran način analizirati ulogu prehrane i redovite tjelesne aktivnosti kod djece predškolske dobi te je istaknuta uloga odgojitelja, roditelja i drugih stručnjaka. Na temelju relevantnih istraživanja i znanstvenih radova stvara se zaključak da pravilna prehrana i bavljenje primjerenom tjelesnom aktivnošću u predškolsko doba mogu djelovati preventivno na pojavu kroničnih bolesti i problema u rastu i razvoju djece, a istovremeno su potrebni za pravilan psihofizički rast i razvoj. Autorica rada je analizirala i sumirala dosadašnja istraživanja i zaključke koji u prvi plan stavljaju pretilost i druge bolesti kao realnu i sveprisutnu opasnost koja prijeti djeci u ovo doba koje je po mnogočemu ključno za njihov razvoj. U radu su tako prikazane osnovne informacije o nužnom unosu i vrsti hranjivih tvari i energije kod djece u dobi do šest godina te je prikazana problematika nezdrave hrane i neaktivnosti. Drugi dio rada analizira ulogu tjelesne aktivnosti kao drugog važnog čimbenika kod razvoja djece. Autorica je opisala ulogu tjelovježbe i bavljenja sportom kod djece predškolske dobi te na koji način motoričke vježbe doprinose psihofizičkom i socijalnom razvoju djece. Naglašen je i problem nejednakih mogućnosti koje djeca imaju po pitanju pristupa bavljenju sportom i tjelesnom aktivnošću, a istaknuti su i primjeri dobre prakse u promociji tjelesne aktivnosti na nacionalnoj razini.

The aim of the work was to analyze the role of nutrition and regular physical activity in preschool children. Highlighted is the role of educators, parents and other experts. On the basis of relevant research and scientific papers, it is concluded that proper nutrition and engaging in appropriate physical activity in preschool age can have a preventive effect on the occurrence of chronic diseases and problems in the growth and development of children, and at the same time are necessary for proper psychophysical growth and development. The author of the paper analyzed and summarized previous research and conclusions that put obesity and other diseases in the foreground as a real and ubiquitous danger that threatens children at this age, which is in many ways crucial for their development. The paper presents basic information on the necessary intake and type of nutrients and energy for children up to the age of six, and presents the issue of unhealthy food and inactivity.

The author described the role of exercise and playing sports in preschool children and how motor exercises contribute to the psychophysical and social development of children. The problem of unequal opportunities that children have in terms of access to sports and physical activity was highlighted, and examples of good practice at the national level were highlighted.
