Fitness of children manifest

We have a fight on our hands.

A struggle to retrieve a physical culture, which I suspect has become lost on this current generation. A task of this magnitude requires a basic understanding of the needs of children from a perspective of inspiration, and physical development.

Here's a primer on some philosophies of fitness for children, and how we can help the health of our young people through activities to retrieve.

The ultimate goal for any children fitness initiative is to instill a joy for activities that will continue into adulthood. One of the most important things that we can provide children is the importance of savoring the CNS. decision-making the develops spontaneously, but also is formed through the right kind of activity. There are critical and sensitive periods neural development that depend on physical activity. Children better move through opportunities, experience, reward, indications and adequate stimuli. For children (under 9), fun and game should be the focal point of activities. It shouldn't feel like "work". That said, there should be an element of fun at any age. Trying to teach complex design skills or "Play" makes no sense for children under the age of 6, as are egocentric. Imposition of collections and artifacts on children is a form of deprivation of play Machines are no longer safe-learn to move properly introduce ISA. Slowly rather than task force on children. Creating inclusive environments are of vital importance for the enjoyment of all Built-in variety.: Vary the stimulus, including land, the situation or activity. Repetition (within the context of the variety) is a good thing. Children need repetition to build familiarity-which generates mastery-that builds confidence. Early Specialization of sport is harmful to the general well-being, physical and mental of most children. For 6-9 year olds: this age group must be focused on the discovery-put the value in an attempt (does not correct the form). Embed basic skills such as running, climbing, crawling, skip and jump.As progress of children in age and physical/emotional maturity, add the technical skills required.There is no such thing as "good" or "bad" coordination.Coordination is a multi-faceted concept that includes the balance, spatial awareness and rhythm, to name a few. En ok for kids to fail and yes even the cry-this builds resilience and adaptability. children should not be relegated to an emotion.(Note: this does not mean that we test and "makes them cry", simply means that children get frustrated sometimes and we need to tell them it's OK to feel that way). Seize every opportunity to go out and be active with your children. walking, cycling, swimming or playing a sport with them.
