L’attività fisica nel periodo prescolare assume un ruolo di primaria impor-tanza per lo sviluppo integrale del bambino/a. Le ricerche evidenziano i suoi effetti nei diversi ambiti della vita, da quello motorio, cognitivo, socio-rela-zionale, affettivo nonché le conseguenze di sedentarietà e inattività. Da un’analisi del concetto di sviluppo umano elaborato dalla Nussbaum risulta che l’attività fisica ha un ruolo importante anche in questo ambito e può es-sere uno strumento utile per contrastare e ridurre la diffusione della povertà educativa. L’ambito più adatto per operare in tal senso è senza dubbio quello della scuola dell’infanzia, il centro di incontro di più del 90% di bambini/e dai 3 ai 6 anni. Per fare questo è necessario prendere coscienza di questa prospettiva e promuovere delle azioni educative per divulgare conoscenze e pratiche in insegnanti, genitori e bambini/e.

Abstract
Physical activity (PA) in the pre-school period of life is of primary importance for the integral development of the child as shown by scientific studies on the positive in different areas of life, from the motor, cognitive, socio-rela-tional, affective and the negative consequences of sedentariness and inac-tivity. An analysis of the concept of human development elaborated by Nussbaum indicates that PA has an important role also in this area and can be a useful tool to fight and reduce the spread of educational poverty. The most suitable period of life to operate to this aim is preschool. Kindergartens are indeed the meeting points for more than 90% of children aged 3 to 6 years. For implementation of appropriate interventions is necessary to be-come aware of this perspective and promote educational actions to dissem-inate knowledge and practices in teachers, parents, and children.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
