Title: Health, physical activity and executive functions in 3-5 years old children: Parents' beliefs
Abstract: This research aims to investigate parents' beliefs and practices about physical activities in their children. Questionnaires were administered during a "special physical activity day" in an Italian kindergarten. Survey's results highlight that parents believe physical activity is very important for their children, although there is evidence of discrepancies between what declared and what put into practice when it comes to physical activities. In spite of parents believing to be competent enough in this subject matter, results about their knowledge are very far from what recommended by the international health organizations. It is therefore necessary to provide parentswith training in order to empower them regarding their role in children's physical development.

Title: Salute, attività fisica e funzioni esecutive nei bambini da 3 a 5 anni. Le opinioni dei genitori
Abstract: Durante "il giorno speciale per l'attività fisica" in una scuola dell'infanzia dell'Italia del nord sono stati somministrati ai genitori dei bambini dei questionari per indagare credenze e pratiche in merito all'attività fisica dei loro bambini. Nonostante i genitori credano molto importante la pratica dell'attività fisica per i loro figli emergono discrepanze tra quanto dichiarato e quanto praticato. Sebbene i genitori si considerino competenti nell'attività fisica i risultati sono molto distanti da quanto raccomandato dalle organizzazioniinternazionali sulla salute. Si ritiene necessario, pertanto,provvedere a dei percorsi formativi per sensibilizzare i genitori al loro ruolo nello sviluppo fisico dei figli.

Title: Santé, activité physique et fonctions exécutives chez les enfants de 3 à 5 ans: croyances des parents
Abstract: Cette recherche vise à étudier les croyances et les pratiques des parents concernant les activités physiques chez leurs enfants.Des questionnaires ont été administrés lors d'une «journée d'activité physique spéciale» dans un jardin d'enfants italien.Les résultats de l'enquête soulignent que les parents pensent que l'activité physique est très importante pour leurs enfants, bien qu'il existe des preuves de divergences entre ce qui a déclaré et ce qui a mis en pratique en ce qui concerne les activités physiques.Malgré les parents qui croyaient être suffisamment compétents dans ce sujet, les résultats de leurs connaissances sont très loin de ce qui a recommandé par les organisations internationales de santé.Il est donc nécessaire de fournir aux parents de la formation afin de leur donner des moyens de leur rôle dans le développement physique des enfants.
