Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je predstaviti povezanost tjelesne aktivnosti roditelja s tjelesnom aktivnošću njihove djece na temelju provedenog istraživanja. Tjelesna aktivnost je ljudska potreba koja ima mnoge dobrobiti, kako na zdravlje, tako i na motorički razvoj, psihičke komponente, spoznajni razvoj. Roditelji imaju veliku ulogu u poticanju dječje tjelesne aktivnosti. Oni djeluju kao podrška, ali i kao ključni faktori pokretanja bavljenjem sportom. Istraživanje pokazuju da kod djece čiji se roditelji bave sportom šanse su veće da će se i oni sami uključiti u sport, bilo dobrovoljno ili na poticaj roditelja. Roditeljevi stavovi o tjelesnoj aktivnosti također uveliko utječu na kreiranje stavova kod djece. Djeca se danas sve ranije uključuju u tjelesne aktivnosti, dok su još uveliko ovisni o svojim roditeljima. Roditelji bi trebali pritom imati na umu da se dijete uključuje u neki sport iz zabave i da je suvišno vršiti pritisak i inzistirati na pobjedi.
Istraživanje je provedeno metodom anketnog ispitivanja online putem. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 338 ispitanika iz različitih područja Hrvatske, različitog spola i dobi, razine zaposlenja te obrazovanja. Anketa je sadržavala socio-demografske podatke roditelja i njihove djece te tvrdnje koje su ispitanici rangirali od 1 do 5 prema Likertovoj skali. Rezultati su pokazali da postoji manja povezanost tjelesne aktivnosti roditelja s tjelesnom aktivnošću djece te da je mnogo više tjelesno aktivnije djece. Razlike u tjelesnoj aktivnosti i stavovima prema njoj vidljive su po kriteriju razine obrazovanja roditelja, a kod djece prema kriteriju dobi. Obradom podataka zaključeno je da roditelji imaju utjecaj na tjelesnu aktivnost djece posebice kod mlađe djece.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study is to present the connection between parental physical activity and the physical activity of their children based on conducted research. Physical activity is a human need that has many benefits, both for health and for motor development, psychological components, and cognitive development. Parents play a significant role in promoting children's physical activity. They act as support and key factors in engaging in sports. Research shows that children whose parents engage in sports are more likely to participate in sports themselves, either voluntarily or encouraged by their parents. Parents' attitudes towards physical activity also greatly influence the formation of children's attitudes. Nowadays, children are getting involved in physical activities at an earlier age while still being highly dependent on their parents. Parents should keep in mind that children participate in sports for fun and it is unnecessary to pressure them and insist on winning.
The research was conducted using an online survey method. The study involved 338 participants from different areas of Croatia, with different genders, ages, levels of employment, and education. The survey included socio-demographic data of parents and their children, as well as statements that respondents ranked from 1 to 5 on a Likert scale. The results showed that there is a weaker connection between parental physical activity and the physical activity of children, and that children are much more physically active. Differences in physical activity and attitudes towards it are visible based on the criteria of parents' education level, and in children based on the criteria of age. Data analysis concluded that parents have an influence on children's physical activity, especially among younger children.
