Abstract

This study aims to identify the physical activity of children aged 3-5 years in highland and lowland areas using a survey method by looking at a picture of the physical activity situation in children over a period of one week or seven consecutive days using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). In this study there were 65 respondents who would be the research sample and the sample determination in this study used Non probability Sampling where each population would get the same opportunity to become respondents, but there were criteria in sampling, namely Inclusion and Exclusion criteria. Apart from that, there is a willingness sheet given and filled out by parents to strengthen eligibility for research. The research subjects involved children aged 3-5 years in the highlands and lowlands with a sample size of 21 in each region. Data from the two regions shows a significant p-value (sig. 2-tailed) with a value of 0.003 < &#945- 0.05. This result means that there is a comparison that differentiates physical activity in children aged 3-5 years in the highlands and lowlands.
