Early Childhood Physical Education and Physical Activity: Literature Review

Abstract

The focus of the data in the literature review is "Early Childhood Physical Education and Physical Activity". Secondary data was collected using the systematic literature review (SLR) method, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) approach. Results; (1) Early childhood physical education and physical activity should include learning in the form of social interaction so as to create an active and interactive atmosphere. (2) The implementation is directed towards the development of multilateral movements. (3) Not all children are comfortable learning and doing physical activities in groups, so individual play activities can also be used. (4) In the learning process, it is better to use 18 learning and or training tools that are suitable for the characteristics of children, especially in terms of dimensions, convenience, comfort, and safety of these tools. In the future, the production of physical education and physical activity for early childhood should always refer to the characteristics, norms, patterns, principles, and or phases of early childhood development.
