Proposition for planning two-month long kinesiology activities for preschool children

U ovom završnom radu naglasak je bio na antropološkim karakteristikama i motoričkim sposobnostima čije smo testove opisali i prilagodili djeci predškolske dobi. Opisano je inicijalno i završno mjerenje djece predškolske dobi nakon provedbe dvomjesečnog kineziološkog programa. Dobivenim rezultatima ukazalo se na pozitivne promjene u antropometrijskim karakteristikama kao i motoričkim sposobnostima. Cilj ovog rada bio je dati uvid u važnost bavljenja kineziološkom aktivnošću od najranije dobi. Takva aktivnost unaprjeđuje razvoj djeteta, njegovu sposobnost te motorička znanja. Dijete danas gledamo kao cjelovito biće. Njegov razvoj je složena pojava kroz pojedine aspekte razvoja te je, kao takva, bitno saznanje djetetovih razvojnih osobina i sposobnosti. Kineziološka aktivnost najvažnija je u ranoj fazi razvoja. Pregledom prijašnjih istraživanja rezultati su pokazali da djeca koja se bave sportom te aktivno sudjeluju najmanje dva puta tjedno u treningu imaju bolje rezultate u motoričkim sposobnostima. Fizička aktivnost je ljudska potreba i važno je upozoravati na posljedice nedovoljnog kretanja koje najčešće dovodi do zdravstvenih problema u budućnosti. Za izradu ovog diplomskog rada i provođenja istraživanja korištena je stručna literatura, znanstveni članci i radovi te razgovori sa stručnim osobama, profesorima, odgojiteljima, učiteljima, kineziolozima, a posebno mentoricom kojoj se od srca zahvaljujem na izboru, podršci i pozitivnom stavu.
In this final paper, the emphasis was on anthropological characteristics and motor abilities whose tests we described and adapted to preschool children. The initial and final measurement of preschool children after the implementation of a two-month kinesiology program is described. The obtained results indicated positive changes in anthropometric characteristics as well as motor abilities. The aim of this paper was to provide insight into the importance of engaging in kinesiological activity from an early age. Such activity improves the child's development, his ability and motor skills. We see the child today as a whole being. Its development is a complex phenomenon through certain aspects of development and, as such, it is important to know the child's developmental characteristics and abilities. Kinesiological activity is most important in the early stages of development. A review of previous research has shown that children who play sports and actively participate in training at least twice a week have better results in motor skills. Physical activity is a human need and it is important to warn of the consequences of insufficient exercise that most often leads to health problems in the future. Professional literature, scientific articles and papers, as well as conversations with professionals, professors, educators, teachers, kinesiologists, and especially the mentor, whom I thank from the bottom of my heart for the choice, support and positive attitude, were used to prepare this thesis and conduct research.
