Influence of the family environment on the physical activity of primary school children 11 to 15 years of age

Original language description

More and more studies and research focus on the uneven numbers in the energy intake and rate which are related to the low levels of physical activity. The current lifestyle of the young population is influenced by many factors. The main goal of this study is to put a new insight into the relation between the family environment and physical activity of pupils (students) of elementary schools (In Czech Republic the senior elementary children ages 1215). For the purpose of this particular analysis two questionnaires were used. The Questionnaire CAV2001 helps to find out the elementary somatometric indicators such as height, weight and the time period given towards physical activity or inactivity. The questionnaire for parents then observed the elementary data about the family environment of the students (education and sport activity of parents). The research sample consisted of 2858 participating pupils from the senior elementary level of school education in Czech Republic, specifically 1356 girls and 1502 boys. The results show that from the overall number of 2858 children, only 35 % show participation in physical activity. Also there was found a positive correlation between the physical activity of parents and children (p=0, 0003). The participation of parent during physical activity has significantly positive influence on the physical activity among children. For these reasons it is essential to build up interest in physical activity in family environment and this way to create suitable conditions to anchor physical activity in the daily routine of children and also to give attention towards the amount of time given towards inactivity.
