Resumo
[Abstract]: The practice of physical activity is linked to an improvement in the state of health and integral development in
childhood. The aim of this research was to determine the levels of regular physical activity carried out by children in the
school, out-of-school, family and socio-community environments. A descriptive and correlational study was carried out
with a total sample of 320 subjects aged 3 to 6 years. The levels of physical activity were collected through an ad hoc
questionnaire completed by the parents. The results show that only 30.3% of the children participate in some
extracurricular sporting activity, while 6.9% attend federated competitions. There is a higher participation in
schoolchildren in the last year of Infant Education and, especially, boys are those who do more physical activity than girls.
The use of daily active transport is characterised by 30.6%. Most of the subjects do not comply with the recommendations
provided by the World Health Organisation regarding the practice of 180 minutes of physical activity per day. The
competent authorities in education, social and sports policy are invited to promote the practice of physical activity from
early childhood
