Overview
Slovak children spent almost all afternoon with sedentary activities. Such manner negatively influences physical fitness compared to previous generations. Reduction in regular physical activity is linked with daily routine changes of children due to compulsory full-time schooling. Regular physical activity performed from an early children age does not influence only physical fitness, rather favor heathy child growth and reduces risk of overweight and obesity in advanced age. Regular physical activity helps with developing skills, promotes social behaviour, family life and psychosocial health.
Daily recommended physical activity for children is 90 min of moderate intensity or 60 min of moderate to vigorous intensity. Physical activities could be split and cumulated. Active movement should be partly performed in schools as a subject of Physical and Sports education, organized in clubs and leisure time.
Recommended physical activities include strength training, for its beneficial effects on healthy physical growth, correct body-control, which is fundamental for every physical movement and sport. Our recommendation and guidelines provide basic information for parents and teachers to gauge sufficient physical activities of children.
Key words:
children, physical activity, physical load
