Plivanje djece predškolske dobi

Plivanje predstavlja jednu od najzdravijih tjelesnih aktivnosti jer pozitivno utječe na sve organe i njihove funkcije, a posebno na lokomotorni, kardiovaskularni, metabolički i živčani sustav. Dakle pridonosi poboljšanju općeg zdravlja, otpornosti organizma kao i poboljšanju funkcionalnih i motoričkih sposobnosti. Upravo iz tog razloga je idealna aktivnost za djecu predškolske dobi jer na direktan ili indirektan način utječe na sve antropološke karakteristike i time osigurava pravilan rast i razvoj. U ovom završnom radu ukratko su obrađeni najvažniji detalji vezani za plivanje djece predškolske dobi, te metode rada koje se koriste u školi plivanja podrazumijevajući metode učenja, metode vježbanja, metode uvježbavanja, metode sigurnosti, metode nadzora i metode prikazivanja. Kako bi kasnije objašnjenje utjecaja plivanja na antropološke karakteristike djece predškolske dobi bilo jasnije ukratko je objašnjeno na koje dobne kategorije se odnosi predškolska dob te obrazloženje pojedine antropološke karakteristike. Također ima govora o upoznavanju djece predškolske dobi s tjelesnom aktivnosti općenito, te usporedba antropoloških karakteristika djece koja se bave drugim sportom poput atletike, biciklizma, gimnastike i tenisa s onima koji se bave plivanjem. Zaključno su ukratko sažeti razlozi zašto bi se svako dijete trebalo baviti tjelesnom aktivnošću i kakve beneficije plivanje ima na njihov organizam.Swimming is one of the healthiest sports because of its positive effect on all organs and their functions, especially the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic, and nervous systems.

This bachelor's thesis is shortly describing the most important details about swimming in preschool children and methods of work in swimming school including methods of learning, methods of practice, methods of intensity management, methods of safety and prevention, and methods of presentation. For a better understanding of later mentioned influence of swimming on the anthropological characteristics in children of preschool age, there is a short explanation of which age groups are considered when talking about preschool age and an explanation of anthropological characteristics individually. Also, there is mention of a general introduction to physical activity plus a comparison of anthropological characteristics of children in preschool age in different sports like athletics, cycling, tennis, and gymnastics with those who swim. In conclusion, there are summarized reasons why every child should be involved in any kind of physical activity and what kind of benefits swimming has on their body
