Sažetak
In the past few decades, a substantial reduction in the level of physical activity (PA) of children was registered, so the goal of this study was to determine the level of physical activity of pupils from 1st to 4th grade. The study involved 107 participants from two primary schools in Zagreb. The level of physical activity was examined by Fels questionnaire for children aged 7-19. Analysis of the physical activity levels trend was tested by polynomial regression analysis. The results showed that there was a significant effect of time on the indexes of each component of physical activity, but overall physical activity over the years has stagnated. Given the results of this longitudinal study, we can conclude that children need to increase their level of physical activity as soon as possible because studies show that the level of physical activity reduces even more by entering adolescence.
