Attitudes Toward Physical Activities By Girls In Young School Age
Vol.8,No.1(2014)
The evaluation of attitudes towards physical activity by children is a very often discussed issue. The main objective of this study was to determine the attitudes towards physical activities by girls from Prague (DP) and other regions (DM) in primary schools. The results were to compare both groups with the help of a questionnaire CATPA/Grade Year 3. The questionnaire compares six dimensions of attitudes (social sensibilities, health hazards, social perception, aesthetics and the joy of movement). The research sample consisted of 74 girls (age=10,32±0,12) from the fourth grade of elementary school. Of that, 37 were girls of primary school in Prague (DP) and the rest 37 girls were from outside Prague´s primary school (DM). The results of the study described the attitude to physical activities of girls from Prague and outside Prague elementary school elementary school in each dimension of the questionnaire CATPA/Grade Year 3. The results were compared. The result demonstrated that the dimensions of social engagement, health, danger and joy of movement girls (DM) (M=4,61; SD=0,51) have a more positive attitude towards physical activities than girls (DP) (M=3,95; SD=0,87), in determining the significance level of p<0,05. This research confirmed the conclusion of both Czech and aboard researchers. The results confirm that girls from primary schools outside Prague have a positive relationship to physical activities than girls from primary schools of Prague.
