What should children pay attention to when running?

When children first start learning to run, their running posture is very incorrect. Exercise is necessary to help our children develop a good running posture. We also need to pay special attention to the precautions for children's running posture, which can help our children win better at the starting line. Many people may not be particularly aware of the precautions for children's running posture. Let us learn about the precautions for children's running posture.

Running is one of the best ways for children to exercise. During running, a large number of muscle groups contract and stretch alternately, and energy consumption increases sharply. Therefore, breathing volume and blood circulation are accelerated, promoting the development of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Children under the age of 6 have weak lower limb strength, uncoordinated limb movements, small strides when running, a top-heavy feeling, and are prone to falling. To take your child running, follow these steps:

1. When you first start practicing running, you can alternate between walking and running, that is, walk for a while, run for a while, walk for a while, run for a while. It can mainly be done in the form of games, such as walking interspersed with imitating movements, to stimulate children's interest in running.

2. Cultivate a natural running posture: lightly clench your fists, bend your elbows and swing them naturally, lean your upper body slightly forward, look forward, and land your feet lightly and softly.

3. Help your child learn how to breathe through the nose or through both the mouth and nose at the same time.

4. Arrange the running exercise load (including time, distance, etc.) according to the child’s physical condition and climatic factors.

5. The content of running is diverse, such as fast running, curve running, chasing running, etc. Different forms of running have different amounts of exercise and physical training effects. Parents can change their methods to increase their children's enthusiasm. Since running is a strenuous sport, you can do some warm-up exercises before running, and do some relaxing activities at the end of running to allow the body to gradually return to a calm state.

Knowing more about the precautions for children's running posture is very good for our children to learn to run. I hope everyone can take children's running posture very seriously so that children do not have to bring unnecessary influence to themselves because of their own running posture. Our mothers must pay great attention to this.
