Summary/Abstract: The article aims to show the relationship between physical activity and human health and development, with the greatest emphasis on preschool age. It shows a gap in research in this field in Poland and indicates important directions of research (the impact of physical activity on the child’s psychophysical development and learning ability, factors influencing the child’s physical activity and their correlations). Against this background, the functioning of a systemic kindergarten institution, both Polish and Norwegian, is presented in order to provoke reflection among adults caring for children aged 3–7.
