In the master's thesis, we examined the problem of the connection between the covid-19 pandemic, which affected us and partially stopped sports and social life, the parents' attitude towards sports and solving the consequences of closed kindergartens. The study included 180 kindergarten children from the Pedenjped kindergarten. The correlation coefficients are very low, but the statistical data are mostly unreliable in social changes, because they do not include psychological and human elements.
The data on physical activity of children and parents were obtained from the results of a survey, sent to the parents of the children. The collected data were processed with the IBM SPSS Statistics. In the study, we investigated whether families living in rural areas were more physically active during the closure of kindergarten; the results showed that there are few statistically significant differences between the rural and urban parents. We further determined whether older kindergarten children were more physically active than younger ones. The statistical difference is very small, so we found that the age of the child does not influence a lot on physical activity.
The results of the survey also showed that the amount of movement of children was not significantly affected by whether they attended afternoon sports activities before closing kindergartens or if they had both parents at home and not at work.
In processing the data, we concluded that the sports lifestyle of parents who raise a child with role-modelling, will and love for movement is an important factor in changes such as pandemics or other unnatural conditions, as children are more physically and mentally endurable.
