Analysis of preschoolers' involvement in organized sports activities

The aim of the dissertation project is to analyze the level of involvement in organized physical activity among preschool children. Parents of preschool children aged 3 to 5 were asked to participate in the study by taking an online Google Forms questionnaire (N=50). A two-part questionnaire firstly asked about their education level and their child's age, and then asked for information about their child's involvement in organized extracurricular physical activity. The questions covered whether the child partakes in any organized physical activity and the reasons why or why not, which physical activity is the child involved in, how many have they previously taken part in, and why have they stopped with a particular activity or changed to a different one. The study finds that most children do not currently partake in any organized physical activity but have previously been enrolled. We conclude that there is no direct correlation between parents' education level and the number of different activities their child has tried out. However, we find a slight dependency between parents' education level and average time their child is involved in organized physical activity per week
