Abstract

Slobodno vrijeme i tjelesna aktivnost ključni su za razvoj djece u ranom djetinjstvu i mogu značajno utjecati na njihovo zdravlje i opći razvoj. S obzirom na ubrzan način života i sveprisutnu tehnologiju, važno je razumjeti kako djeca koriste svoje slobodno vrijeme i ulogu tjelesne aktivnosti u njihovom životu. Povijest koncepta slobodnog vremena pokazuje njegov razvoj od nedefiniranih praksi u primitivnim kulturama do današnjeg društva u kojem je slobodno vrijeme postalo važan aspekt života. Pedagogija slobodnog vremena proučava kako kvalitetno iskoristiti ovo vrijeme za odgojne svrhe i uključuje različite aspekte aktivnosti u slobodnom vremenu.
Tjelesna aktivnost je ključna za zdrav razvoj djece, no često je zanemarena u korist pasivnih aktivnosti poput gledanja televizije, korištenja mobitela ili tableta. Ovaj rad istražuje tjelesnu aktivnost i slobodno vrijeme djece predškolske dobi na području Zagreba. Istraživanje obuhvaća stavove roditelja o važnosti tjelesne aktivnosti, vrijeme provedeno pred ekranima, dostupnost infrastrukture za fizičke aktivnosti i udio tjelesne aktivnosti u slobodnom vremenu djece. U istraživanju se nastojalo utvrditi kako roditeljski stavovi o tjelesnoj aktivnosti utječu na razinu tjelesne aktivnosti djece. Također, nastojalo se utvrditi utječe li vrijeme provedeno pred ekranima na učestalost tjelesne aktivnosti djece.

Abstract (english)

Free time and physical activity are crucial for the development of young children and can significantly impact their health and overall development. Given the fast-paced lifestyle and ubiquitous technology, it is important to understand how children utilize their free time and the role physical activity plays in their lives. The history of the concept of free time shows its evolution from undefined practices in primitive cultures to today's society, where free time has become a significant aspect of life. Leisure pedagogy studies how to effectively use this time for educational purposes and includes various aspects of leisure activities.
Physical activity is vital for healthy development in children, yet it is often neglected in favor of passive activities such as watching television or using mobile phones and tablets. This study investigates the physical activity and free time of preschool-aged children in the city of Zagreb. The research covers parental attitudes towards the importance of physical activity, time spent in front of screens, the availability of infrastructure for physical activities, and the proportion of physical activity in children's free time. The study aims to determine how parental attitudes towards physical activity affect the level of physical activity in children. It also seeks to establish whether screen time impacts the frequency of physical activity in children.
