Sažetak
The paper titled “The Correlation Between Parents’ Attitudes Towards Physical Exercise and the Anthropological Dimensions of Preschool Children” is based on research data collected at the Grigor Vitez Kindergarten in Zapruđe (Zagreb, Croatia). The research was conducted on two preschool groups of children (six year of age and older), Ivančice (Daisies, 26 children) and Ljubičice (Violets, 27 children) and on their parents. The goal of this paper was to establish the strength and the impact of parents’ attitudes towards physical exercise and anthropological dimensions (physical abilities – repetitive = MST and explosive strength = MSDM, balance = MRSJN, coordination = MKPN, speed = MBTR, flexibility = MFSR and morphologic characteristics – height = ATV and weight = ATM) of preschool children. The survey was conducted (using the Likert scale approach) among parents, after which a measurement of the children’s motor skills and morphological characteristics was carried out. The results showed an insufficient/weak link between parents’ attitudes and the children’s’ measured motor skills. A possible explanation of such an outcome could have its roots in the relatively small sample, as that of measured variables as the limited number of participants. In order to obtain more reliable results, it could be beneficial to conduct further research on a bigger sample of participants.
