Integrated Sports Programs in Kindergarten

Rad se bavi važnošću bavljenja fizičkim aktivnostima djece predškolske dobi i to prvenstveno kroz sportske programe u vrtićima. Fokus je na isticanju pozitivnih utjecaja sportskih aktivnosti na cjelokupan rast i razvoj djeteta. Teorijski dio rada obuhvaća karakteristike sportskih programa te njihovu izvedbu, prikazuje dobrobiti sportskih programa za dijete te se osvrće na utjecaj sportskih programa i na spremnost djeteta za školu. Glavni dio rada je istraživanje provedeno anketnim upitnikom na roditeljima djece predškolske dobi. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na to da se ispitanici uglavnom slažu u isticanju važnosti fizičkih aktivnosti kod djeteta, ali isto tako rezultati daju uvid u to da sportski programi u vrtićima nisu zastupljeni u mjeri u kojoj bi roditelji željeli. Istraživanjem je također utvrđeno da izrazito mali broj djece ispitanika pohađa sportski program u vrtiću.
