Physical activity is one of the key determinants of health in life,
which can be expressed in sports, playing with friends, family,
physically-active transport, dancing, and others activities. Move-
ment and sport activity in a population is very difficult to evaluate,
especially when measuring physical activity directly. The Republic
of Slovenia has a lot of data on physical activity in children, but to
this day it has not been possible to read an overall view of the phys-
ical and sporting activities of children and adolescents in one place.
This book summarizes the best available, and most reliable data
and results from the field of physical activity in children and youth,
presenting a current picture of various aspects of this social phe-
nomenon. This book will be extremely welcome for all sports teach-
ers, researchers in the field of kinesiology, sport, public health, and
all those who have sports and movement in their heart. The content
of this book is also appropraite and recommended to the parents of
children who are involved in organized sport activities, and to the
general public, especially to policy makers in government, public
health, and education.
