Abstract

U ovom radu bit će istraženi uzroci pretilosti te metode prevencije, uz to će biti objašnjen pojam kineziološke aktivnosti te predstavljeni neki od na ina njezinog provođenja. Pretilost je stanje u kojem osoba ima prekomjernu tjelesnu težinu uzrokovanu nakupljanjem masnog tkiva. Mjeri se indeksom tjelesne mase (BMI), gdje je BMI veći od 30 klasificiran kao pretilost. Prisutnost pretilosti povećava rizik za različite zdravstvene probleme, a ubrzan način života, nezdrava prehrana i nedovoljna tjelesna aktivnost glavni su uzroci pretilosti kod djece. Poticanje zdrave prehrane i redovite tjelesne aktivnosti trebalo bi biti neizostavni dio predškolskog obrazovanja i vrtićkih programa. Uz to, važno je ograničiti izloženost djece reklamama nezdrave hrane i motivirati obitelji da zajednički sudjeluju u aktivnostima koje promiču kretanje.
Cilj i svrha ovog rada s temom „Kineziološka aktivnost i pretilost djece predškolske dobi na području Općine Rugvica“ je utvrditi postoji li pretilost djece predškolske dobi i postoji li razlika u postotku pretilosti kod djece predškolske dobi s obzirom na spol u Dječjem vrtiću Medvjedi i Rugvica. Početna točka istraživanja bila su antropometrijska mjerenja (tjelesna masa i tjelesna visina). Rezultati istraživanja otkrivaju da većina djece pripada kategoriji normalne tjelesne težine. Međutim, među izmjerenim djevojčicama i dječacima predškolske dobi pojavili su se pojedinci čiji izračunati indeksi tjelesne težine ukazuju na prekomjernu tjelesnu težinu, a kod nekih je zabilježena i pretilost.

Abstract (english)

This paper will explore the causes of obesity and methods of prevention, along with explaining the concept of kinesiology activities and presenting some ways of implementing them. Obesity is a condition in which a person has excessive body weight caused by the accumulation of fat tissue. It is measured by the body mass index (BMI), where a BMI greater than 30 is classified as obesity. The presence of obesity increases the risk of various health problems, and a fast-paced lifestyle, unhealthy diet, and insufficient physical activity are the main causes of obesity in children. Encouraging healthy eating and regular physical activity should be an integral part of preschool education and daycare programs. Additionally, it is important to limit children's exposure to unhealthy food advertisements and to motivate families to participate together in activities that promote physical movement.
The aim and purpose of this paper, titled "Kinesiological activity and obesity of preschool children in the area of Rugvica," is to determine whether there is obesity among preschool children and whether there is a difference in the percentage of obesity based on gender in the Medvjedi i Rugvica Kindergarten. The starting point of the research was anthropometric measurements (body weight and height). The research results reveal that the majority of children fall into the category of normal body weight. However, among the measured preschool boys and girls, there were individuals whose calculated body mass indices indicate overweight, and some were found to be obese.
