Abstract

time i neizbježan dio dječje svakodnevnice. Aktualne vodeće smjernice o tjelesnoj aktivnosti i screen timeu predškolske djece preporučuju najmanje 120 minuta tjelesne aktivnosti na dan te izloženost programskom sadržaju ne više od sat vremena dnevno. Cilj ovog završnog rada bio je ispitati postoji li negativan utjecaj dostupnosti tehnologije na tjelesnu aktivnost predškolske djece. Prikupljeni podaci dobiveni su metodom ankete koja je podijeljena na društvenoj mreži Facebook, a u istraživanju je sudjelovalo 30 ispitanika koji imaju djecu starosne dobi 5-7 godina. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na odrastanje predškolske djece u medijski zasićenim kućanstvima s više elektroničkih uređaja. Iako su im na raspolaganju različiti uređaji koji pripadaju tradicionalnim i novim medijima, istraživanje je u najvećoj mjeri zabilježilo poštovanje općih preporuka i smjernica za djecu predškolske dobi o tjelesnoj aktivnosti i ukupnom vremenu provedenom ispred ekrana. Prema dobivenim rezultatima, ne može se zaključiti kako dostupnost tehnologije utječe negativno na tjelesnu aktivnost predškolske djece jer prema rezultatima istraživanja vrijeme provedeno u slobodnoj igri i aktivnostima na otvorenom nadilazi preporučene smjernice. Iako imaju pristup raznim tehnološkim uređajima, rekeracijske aktivnosti na otvorenom poput šetnje i sportskih igara najčešći su odabir zajedničkog provođenja slobodnog vremena djece i roditelja, a djeca gotovo polovice ispitanika pohađa dodatne sportske aktivnosti. Iako rezultati istraživanja nisu poražavajući, upravo razdoblje ranog djetinjstva, odnosno predškolske dobi smatra se kritičnim razdobljem za usvajanje navika zdravog života. Od iznimne važnosti je od najranije dobi poticati i razvijati ljubav prema tjelesnoj aktivnosti, a njeno usvajanje će rezultirati pozitivnim zdravstvenim ishodima koji se mogu pratiti i u odrasloj dobi.

Abstract (english)

Technological devices such as tablets, smartphones and others are part of almost every household, and therefore an inevitable part of children's everyday life. Current leading guidelines on physical activity and screen time for preschool children recommend at least 120 minutes of physical activity per day and exposure to program content for no more than an hour per day. The aim of this final paper was to examine whether there is a negative impact of the availability of technology on the physical activity of preschool children. The collected data was obtained by the method of a survey that was shared on the social network Facebook, 30 respondents who have children aged 5-7 years participated in the research. The obtained results point to preschool children growing up in media-saturated households with more electronic devices. Although they have at their disposal various devices that belong to traditional and new media, the research recorded to the greatest extent the respect of general recommendations and guidelines for preschool children regarding physical activity and screen time. According to the obtained results, it cannot be concluded that the availability of technology has a negative effect on the physical activity of preschool children, because according to the research results, the time spent in free play and outdoor activities exceeds the recommended guidelines. Although they have access to various technological devices, outdoor recreational activities such as walking and sports games are the most common choices for joint free time of children and parents. Furthermore, children of almost half of the respondents participate in additional sports activities. Although the results of the research are not devastating, it is the period of early childhood, i.e. preschool age, that is considered a critical period for the adoption of healthy life habits. It is extremely important to encourage and nurture a love for physical activity from an early age, and it will result in positive health outcomes that can be followed even in adulthood.
