The Impact of Physical Activity in Cendana Early Childhood Education's Obesity Prevention

Abstract

Obesity is one of the issues the field of early childhood education is dealing with in this digital age. The intricate social dynamics and daily lives of children have changed as a result of technological advancements. Whilst it has numerous benefits, innovation in technology also has drawbacks. The truth on the ground is that children's risk of obesity is significantly increased by their excessive usage of devices. Children's limited mobility as a result of social mobility being supplanted by technological advancements is evidence of this. In order to combat childhood obesity, this study will examine the Cendana early childhood education physical activity program. A qualitative case study was the research methodology used in this study. Teachers and students from Kindergartens A and B in Cendana early childhood education served as the study's research subjects. The findings of this study suggest that a variety of locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative physical activities are performed in the institution on a scheduled basis as a means of preventing obesity. A contributing aspect to the prevention of obesity in Cendana early childhood education is the availability of indoor and outdoor play facilities and infrastructure, as well as teacher innovation in presenting physical activity-based learning.
