To assess the levels of motor activity among older preschool children to identify methods for improving institutional physical education programs.
Conducted an assessment of 115 children (50 five-year-olds and 65 six-year-olds) across preschool education institutions in Dnipro, Ukraine, with parental informed consent.
Utilized motor activity timing, analysis of educational and scientific literature, and mathematical statistical methods to evaluate daily movement patterns.
A minority of children (27.8%) participated in organized sports sections, whereas 55.6% attended extracurricular academic preparation courses associated with low motor activity.
Children exhibited sedentary screen time on television and electronic gadgets averaging 4 hours 25 minutes per day for 5-year-olds and 4 hours 45 minutes per day for 6-year-olds, alongside an overall lack of organized physical exercises, active games, and walks.
