Abstract

Preschool institutions play a key role in laying the foundation for the overall development of a child, including physical, emotional, cognitive, and social aspects. Through various educational programs, special attention is given to physical activities that support the development of motor skills and the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits. Planned sports activities not only contribute to better physical fitness but also promote socialization, the development of discipline, and the creation of a positive self-image. The aim of this research was to analyze the frequency, type, and intensity of sports activities in preschool children during their stay in kindergarten, with a special focus on their motor skills. The research was conducted in a preschool institution in Mostar, where preschool educators were surveyed. Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected about the organization and implementation of sports activities and their impact on the development of children aged 3 to 5 years.
