What are the benefits of exercise for children?

Exercise is a physical exercise that each of us must do. Exercise can not only increase children's height, but also for the elderly, exercise can make them live longer. So what are the benefits of exercise for young children? First of all, it can enhance children's resistance and immunity, and secondly, it can enable children to grow rapidly. So what other benefits are there besides this? Let’s take a look at it together.

1. It can increase your height.

Physical exercise can enhance the functions of various organ systems in children and make them physically strong. Children are able to grow taller due to the growth of bones throughout the body, especially the growth of long bones, because the epiphyseal cartilage at both ends of the long bones is the growth point of the bones. Physical exercise improves blood circulation and provides more nutrition to bone tissue. At the same time, exercise acts as a mechanical stimulus on bones. Therefore, it can accelerate bone growth and increase the child's height accordingly. Infant swimming is widely practiced in countries such as the former Soviet Union and Germany. Research by physiological and medical experts in those places has shown that infants who participate in swimming grow faster than normal children.

2. It can exercise children's limbs, increase muscle strength, and make muscles gradually become fuller.

If the abdominal muscles, lumbar muscles, back muscles, and limb supporting strength are strengthened before the child's various movements develop, and the lower limb muscle strength training is strengthened and some conditioned reflex training is performed, the child can establish connections in the brain center through these tactile stimulation and muscle training, and the child's movements can become more sensitive and his muscles can become developed.

3. Exercise can promote cardiopulmonary function, accelerate blood circulation, enhance metabolism, develop the myocardium, and strengthen contractility.

During exercise, children's muscle activity consumes a lot of oxygen and discharges more carbon dioxide, so the respiratory organs need to work twice as hard. Over time, the range of chest movement expands, lung capacity increases, and the minute ventilation (i.e. the amount of air breathed in per minute) in the lungs increases, which enhances the function of the respiratory organs and has a good effect on preventing common respiratory diseases.

4. Exercise can increase children's gastrointestinal motility, enhance gastrointestinal digestion ability, increase appetite, and completely absorb nutrients, allowing children to develop better.

Children with anorexia or food refusal need more exercise.

Benefits of sports for children:

1. Exercise can give children a healthy body, effectively reduce the risk of children suffering from high blood pressure, heart disease and other diseases, comprehensively improve children's physical fitness and strengthen bones, blood vessels and joints.

2. Exercise can promote children's brain development, increase the number of brain capillaries, promote the establishment of permanent links between brain neurons, and improve children's body regulation, balance, reaction, sensitivity, motor skills, and large and small muscle development levels.

It truly enables children to have “stronger limbs and smarter minds.”

3. Exercise helps children improve their mental health, making them more confident, independent in action, and more efficient in doing things. Children who are good at sports are more socially skilled, more popular with their peers, and will be better at handling interpersonal relationships in the future. Exercise allows children to relax their body and mind, feel happy, and allows neurons to connect freely.

Here, we can help your children grow up healthily through sports and develop their intelligence and potential.

Exercise has many benefits for young children, but nowadays every child is the apple of the family's eye, so few parents let their children exercise. This is not good. No matter how young your children are, they should cultivate their athletic cells from an early age, so that they can grow up more healthily and better face each day that follows.
