Tennis Elements as Part of Physical Exercise in Preschool Children

Razvojem tenisa kao profesionalnog sporta dolazi i do razvoja različitih metoda i pristupa kojima će tenis postati pristupačniji i zanimljiviji sport za poduku, posebice se to odnosi na podučavanje djece predškolske dobi. U ovom završnom radu prikazan je plan i program od osam sati tenisa u kojem se provode elementi tenisa. Provođenjem plana i programa povećao bi se broj predškolske djece koja primjenjuju teniske sadržaje, čime bi se ostvarila i promocija hrvatskog predškolskog sustava, te bi program u značajnoj mjeri utjecao na poboljšanje njihovog zdravstvenog i psihosocijalnog statusa i osigurao većem broju djece mogućnost da nauče igrati tenis.The development of tennis as a professional sport, also leads to the development of methods and approaches that will make tennis an easier and more fun sport to teach, especially when it comes to teaching kindergarten and preschool children. This paper presents the plan and program of eight hours of tennis, in which the elements of tennis are implemented. By implementing the plan and program, number of children who use tennis facilities would be increased, which would also promote the Croatian preschool system, and the program would significantly affect the improvement of their health and psychosocial status and would ensure more children the opportunity to learn play tennis
