Abstract

The study aims to compare the levels of physical activity in children aged 3–5 years living in densely populated urban areas and residential areas. This research is a comparative study with an observational data collection technique, examining the physical activity levels of children aged 3–5 years in different demographic areas. The selection of parent respondents was based on consent forms to become respondents, with the observation subjects being children aged 3–5 years. The research instrument employed the Global Physical Activities Questionnaire (GPAQ) or global physical activity assessment questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate analysis with frequency distribution presentation and bivariate analysis involving normality and homogeneity prerequisite tests and conducting a t-test. The findings revealed that the physical activity level of children aged 3–5 years in densely populated urban areas ranged from 1400–3320 METs, classified as moderate with a percentage of 86% and classified as vigorous with a rate of 14%, and a mean value of 2428 METs. In contrast, the physical activity level of children aged 3–5 years in residential areas ranged from 1440–3840 METs, classified as moderate with a percentage of 67% and classified as vigorous with a rate of 33%, and a mean value of 2799 METs. The prerequisite test results indicated that the data was normally distributed with a p-value of 0.200 > 0.05 and came from the same or homogeneous variance with a p-value of 0.409 > 0.05. The t-test results showed a p-value of 0.28 < 0.05. Based on the analysis test, it can be concluded that there are differences in physical activity levels in children aged 3–5 years in urban areas compared to residential areas.
