Functional abilities of preschool children

Ovaj se rad temelji na analizi stručne literature koja se odnosi na važnost tjelesnoga vježbanja koje potiče razvoj funkcionalnih sposobnosti kod djece predškolske dobi. Funkcionalne sposobnosti čine sastavni dio antropoloških obilježja u čovjeka. Spomenute su sposobnosti od iznimne važnosti jer imaju veliku zadaću što se tiče proizvodnje i prijenosa energije u ljudskome organizmu. One su potaknute tjelesnim vježbanjem koje je vrlo važno za rast i razvoj djeteta. Osim što djeca razvijaju mišiće, kosti i druge sustave, tjelesnim vježbanjem djeca uče o (samo)disciplini, (samo)pouzdanju, (samo)poštovanju, lakše se uklapaju među svoje vršnjake. Također, na taj način razvijaju radne navike u čemu im uvelike pomažu odgojitelji i roditelji. S obzirom na sve elemente koje ovaj rad sadrži, cilj je ukazati na važnost razvoja funkcionalnih sposobnosti, ali i učenja te svakodnevnog prakticiranja tjelesnoga vježbanja jer na temelju tih znanja djeca lakše razvijaju sve svoje sposobnosti, a ponajviše funkcionalne.This graduate thesis is based on professional literature regarding importance of physical exercise which promotes development of functional abilities of preschool children. Functional abilities are main components of human anthropological features. Mentioned abilities are extremely important as they perform important task of production and transfer of energy in the human body. They are instigated by physical exercise, which is very important for children growth and development. Besides growing muscles, strengthening bones and other systems, through physical exercise children learn about (self)discipline, (self)confidence, (self)respect and it facilitates peer bonding. Also, it enables them to develop work habits with the support of preschool teachers and parents. Considering all the elements of this thesis, it's objective is to emphasize the importance of functional abilities development, learning about and practicing physical exercise on a daily basis, as this knowledge enables children to develop their abilities more easily, especially functional abilities
