Benefits of physical education classes for young children

Improve children's motor skills

Since kindergarten children are relatively young, their coordination and agility are not strong. By participating in more sports games, children's motor skills can be effectively improved. Differentiated exercise training is provided for children of different ages. For example, hula hooping can be used for younger children with smaller and lighter ones, while for older children with slightly larger ones. At the same time, the teacher explains the correct exercise methods to the children and then leads them to hula hoop. Mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm can effectively inspire them to improve their various sports skills, build self-confidence, and thus encourage them to love sports and exercise more.

Cultivate a happy mood

Physical activities can relax the body and make people feel happy, especially for young children. Studies have shown that young children who regularly engage in outdoor sports not only have a good mental state, but also have stronger resistance. Therefore, kindergarten teachers should actively organize outdoor sports, understand the different personality characteristics of each child, be good at discovering the strengths of children, encourage and affirm children more, help those introverted and incompetent children build self-confidence, let every child experience the joy of success, and thus promote their healthy development. In addition, the ages of children in the small, medium and large classes of kindergarten are different, and their physical skills development is also different. Therefore, teachers should treat them differently and choose game activities suitable for children's development, striving to achieve the goal of everyone being happy and everyone improving through physical activities.

Promote intellectual development

Various movements in physical exercise are directly controlled and regulated by the nervous system. When people move, the nerves in the muscles can transmit various stimulation impulses to the brain, thereby promoting brain function and making the brain more responsive to movements.

Babies who learn to swim grow up to be more intelligent, independent and confident than other children. From a physiological point of view, physical exercise can increase blood flow to the brain, and supply brain cells with more nutrients and oxygen. Nutrition before the age of three is very important in determining intelligence, and exercise is very beneficial to infants and young children's intake of nutrition, promoting the normal growth and development of brain cells, and is very beneficial to intellectual development.

Exercise your child's body

Physical exercise can enhance the functions of various organ systems in children and make them physically strong. Physical exercise can improve blood circulation and provide more nutrition to bone tissue. At the same time, exercise can mechanically stimulate bones, which can accelerate bone growth and increase children's height accordingly.

If you add before the child's various movements develop

Strengthen the abdominal muscles, waist muscles, back muscles, limb supporting strength, and lower limb muscle strength exercises and conduct some conditioned reflex training. Through these tactile stimulation and muscle training, children can establish connections in the brain center, which can make children's movements more sensitive and their muscles more developed.

During exercise, children's muscle activity consumes a lot of oxygen and discharges more carbon dioxide, so their respiratory organs need to work twice as hard. Over time, lung capacity increases, which is good for preventing common respiratory diseases.

Shape children's character

Physical exercise is not only an exercise for the body and the brain, but also an exercise for the will and character. Sports can overcome certain bad behaviors and make children cheerful, lively and optimistic. When children play in the bathtub, run and laugh while chasing a rolling ball, and enjoy nature in the sunshine, they will be very happy. This good mood is beneficial to physical health. Exercise can also cultivate children's perseverance. Young children have to put in a lot of effort to do some actions, and sometimes have to overcome various difficulties. This is a good way to exercise their willpower. After exercise, children have more self-confidence and a greater sense of success. Children will become better and more polite, and will be more proactive and peaceful in getting along with others. Appropriate exercise plays a great role in the development of children's interpersonal relationships, helping them to develop the habit of cooperating with others and abiding by rules, which is suitable for future social needs. For children who are withdrawn and unsociable, they should be encouraged to participate in more group activities and various games so that they can interact with many children. This can change their withdrawn and depressed personality and is beneficial to their healthy physical and mental growth.
