On the basis of our questionnaire it was showed that preschool teachers for the most part, recognized by themselves, that they had sufficiently understood the subject of exercise instruction for preschool children. However, some preschool teachers misunderstood that children should learn specific motor skills from an early stage. This misunderstanding tended to be present among the group of teachers who believed they sufficiently understood the subject of exercise instruction for preschool children compared to those who did not think so. These results showed that there is a discrepancy between what teachers perceive they have learnt and what they actually have learnt. Since most preschool teachers do not have an adequate understanding of exercise instruction, it was concluded that it is necessary to develop in-service training of preschool teachers, in addition to enriching the professional education program at school.
