The health of our children depends on how responsibly we ourselves approach this issue. Modern means of physical education allow you to instill in your child a love of an active lifestyle. What should it consist of? Let's figure it out.
How to carry out physical education?
As you know, health promotion is not only direct physical activity and exercises, but also a number of procedures related to hygiene. That is why the existing means of physical education can be reduced to three varieties:
- physical exercise;
- natural forces of nature (meaning the effect of the sun, air, water on the body);
- measures of public and personal hygiene.
The use of these varieties in combination is the most harmonious and effective tool that allows you to properly heal children.
Exercises: types and features
The most effective means of physical education are physical exercises, which are expressed in motor actions. Their effectiveness depends primarily on what their content is. It is understood as physiological, psychological, biomechanical processes that occur in the body during the performance of an exercise.
As a rule, exercises are aimed at improving the body, as well as providing an educational impact on the individual. Means of physical education suggest that recreational classes can be carried out both individually and in a group. It is important that in the process of collective studies, everyone coordinates his actions with the actions of the group, that is, the individual submits to the general strategy of actions. Any physical exercise consists of three phases: preparatory, main and final. That is, first you need to create favorable conditions for the execution of the action, then the actions themselves are performed, and at the final stage they are completed.
Means and methods of physical education suggest that the following indicators should be taken into account during the exercise:
- spatial and temporal characteristics (body position, trajectory of motion, amplitude, duration of movements and pace);
- dynamic characteristics (that is, the interaction of internal forces: muscle traction, resistance and gravitational forces, friction, environmental resistance).
However, the means of physical education of children will not be so effective if you do not pay attention to the healing powers of nature. In this case, the natural forces of nature should create favorable conditions for an active lifestyle. For example, performing exercises on the seashore or in the forest significantly activates the biological processes that cause physical exercise, so the body becomes more efficient and resilient. In addition, natural healing powers are expressed in procedures such as taking an air bath or hardening.
They promote health and increase the impact of exercise on the body and hygiene factors. This includes personal and public hygiene, adherence to a specific sleep and diet, general daily routine and physical activity. If hygiene measures are not given proper attention, the effect of exercise will be much lower.
