? There are always readers who leave messages asking me: Mama Mi, what interest class should I enroll my children in?
I always suggest that everyone must sign up for a physical education class, any sport that children like will do. Without good health, where can we get the starting line?
A little boy in America was often accused by his teacher when he went to kindergarten, saying that he couldn't sit still, couldn't calm down, couldn't concentrate at all, and even told the boy's mother directly: "Your son can't do anything well."
When he was in primary school, he was often laughed at by his classmates because of stuttering and unclear speech. Later, he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and should receive medication for life. Later, the little boy became addicted to swimming. He swam100000 meters in the swimming pool every week, 7 days a week, even including Christmas.
Finally, he no longer needed the help of drugs, and/kloc-set his first world record at the age of 0/6, and finally he won 23 Olympic gold medals.
He is the flying fish, Michael? Phelps, the athlete who won the most gold medals and medals in Olympic history.
Yes, sports have such magic.
Every parent knows that children should exercise more. Exercise can help children eat more, sleep better, grow taller, enhance their resistance and even improve their learning ability. However, different exercises bring different help to the body, just like seeing a doctor for a cold. When the symptoms are different, the doctor gives different drugs.
Every child's development is different, and parents hope that sports can bring different benefits to their children: some parents hope that sports can make their children eat well; Some parents hope that exercise can consume their children's energy and go to bed early at night.
Parents have different purposes, so children need different sports.
There are many kinds of sports, such as stretching and breathing, muscle strength training, aerobic exercise, high-intensity interval exercise, etc. Different sports can bring different benefits to children. If time is limited, children must be taken to do "right sports".
What sports do you do with your children?
Some parents think it is exercise to take their children to the park to run and jump every day.
Some parents also think that children jump up and down at home all day, and do they still need exercise? Some parents also arranged football, tennis, swimming, fencing and other courses for their children early.
What kind of exercise should children do?
What sports can help make children smarter and smarter?
What sports can make children grow taller and taller?
What exercise can temper children's will?
1. To improve children's memory, choose aerobic exercise "moving to the feet"
Aerobic exercise contributes to the proliferation of hippocampal gyrus cells, which is the memory center of the brain.
Continuous moderate-intensity endurance aerobic exercise, such as jogging, can significantly increase the proliferation of hippocampal gyrus cells and improve the memory function of the brain compared with other muscle strength training or high-intensity intermittent exercise.
Exercise to improve memory: jogging, cycling, brisk walking, swimming and other moderate-intensity aerobic exercises.
2. Want to increase children's concentration and let them play with the ball.
Concentration requires the cooperation of many brain regions, including prefrontal lobe (executive function), basal nucleus (impulse control, attention transfer of different activities), cerebellum (attention) and parietal lobe (visual space processing).
To stimulate so many brain regions at the same time, the best exercise should be ball games. Because in the process of playing ball, it will include running, coordination, balance, visual space, speed and agility, so ball games should be the sport with the highest comprehensive CP value.
Fencing, which is very popular in recent years, is also a sport that needs the cooperation of multiple brain regions, which is effective in improving children's concentration!
I have written an article about fencing before. If you are interested, you can have a look: Why do I have to let my children learn fencing? Therefore, Mama Mi Mi started to contact fencing early, and he liked it very much. Watching him practice continuously over the past few years not only exercised his body, but also cultivated his concentration. The marginal benefits of this sport should not be too valuable!
Sports to increase concentration: football, basketball, rugby, tennis and other ball games and fencing.
3. Want to improve children's thinking and let them contribute.
Many studies have pointed out that exercising muscles can increase the executive function of the brain.
Because muscle strength training can increase the blood flow speed of the brain, improve alertness and attention, and promote the connection between nerve cells and the activation of bilateral prefrontal lobes. The prefrontal lobe is the commander-in-chief of the brain, responsible for reasoning, problem solving, execution and thinking. Therefore, stimulating the frontal lobe can help improve the executive function of the brain.
Sports to improve thinking: climbing, horizontal bar, sit-ups, tug-of-war and other muscle strength training.
If you want to increase your child's appetite, you should choose intermittent aerobic exercise.
Generally, we all think that sports will increase children's appetite. Wrong! In fact, exercise will reduce appetite! Yes, you are right. I was shocked when I found this conclusion.
The key lies in what exercise and when.
Many studies have found that long-term continuous aerobic exercise actually reduces appetite, because it reduces the role of an appetite-stimulating hormone (acylated ghrelin).
Some studies have pointed out more directly that high-intensity activities will suppress appetite and make the body lose its desire for food. Most studies also point out that if you want to increase your appetite, you must exercise in a low temperature environment, which is why you are always particularly hungry after swimming.
It is found that after intermittent aerobic exercise, when the body cools down, the appetite will increase greatly.
Exercise to increase appetite: swimming, playing with water and other intermittent aerobic exercise, roller skating.
If you want your child to grow taller, you should let him jump.
Children can grow taller constantly, relying on the growth board in the bones; Stimulating the growth board to the greatest extent before it is closed is the key to its height, and jumping is the most effective movement to stimulate the growth board.
Uninterrupted jumping activities, such as jumping on a trampoline, will have a better effect on height than intermittent jumping activities, such as skipping rope. After reading this, I decided to forgive the rice grains for always scampering in bed.
Sports to help you grow taller: jumping, basketball, running, skipping rope.
6. Want to enhance children's frustration tolerance, let children do yoga.
The amygdala is the emotional center of the brain; The insula deals with physical feelings and emotions; The inferior frontal gyrus is the position to develop empathy.
In recent years, many studies have found that yoga can increase the gray mass of insula, amygdala and frontal lobe. It can increase the secretion of serotonin, reduce the release of cortisol, help reduce anxiety, and increase self-concept and self-confidence.
In other words, yoga can help improve a person's emotional performance and stability. Exercise can increase dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins and other endocrine, and help the brain feel happy, so as long as it continues to exercise, it can make people feel happy.
However, if parents especially want to help their children increase their self-confidence and frustrate their endurance, yoga will be a very suitable exercise.
Yoga: A Exercise to Enhance Endurance of Frustration
7. If you want to improve your child's academic performance, you must do aerobic exercise+ball games+muscle strength training in a three-pronged manner.
Academic performance is the result of the cooperation of many brain regions. Aerobic activities, activities related to speed and agility can all help improve children's academic performance.
Running is the most basic thing to improve your academic performance. If you want to improve your willpower, you must add ball games that emphasize speed agility. Finally, muscle strength training should be added to improve children's learning ability comprehensively and effectively.
Improve children's academic performance: running+ball games+climbing
Finally, Mi Mi Ma will draw a key point and tell everyone what sports the child should practice at how old:
2-3 years old
Children of this age are at the stage of developing motor skills, such as walking, crawling on the ground, digging with a shovel, playing slide, running, building a block house, catching and throwing balls, etc.
Sports: 2-year-old children should start learning to kick the ball with their feet, throw the ball with their hands and run; 3-year-old children should start to learn to ride tricycles, jump and other sports.
4-5 years old
Children aged 4-5 already have basic motor skills, and the focus of this age group is to help children train their balance and hand-eye coordination.
Sports: children of this age can start practicing: football, swimming, cycling, climbing, mountain climbing, yoga, roller skating, skipping rope, etc.
It should be noted that children aged 4-5 are not suitable for antagonistic and competitive sports; We should strengthen children's sense of balance and motor skills on the basis of their original.
6-8 years old
Children of this age have mastered the basic motor skills, their physical functions of doing various movements are basically perfect, and they can connect some basic movements to complete more complicated movements.
For example, a 6-year-old child will hit a baseball that is flying in the air or rolling on the ground with a baseball bat, instead of just hitting a static baseball. And compared with young children, children at this time can exercise and play for a longer time because their physical exercise level has improved; And began to be interested in organized team sports.
Sports: Children in this period will begin to like fencing, baseball, basketball, rugby, tennis and other exciting and interesting sports.
8- 10 years old
At this time, children have enough ability to engage in any sports and begin to like to participate in team sports; I also began to consciously compare myself with my peers.
Those children who started to participate in various sports at an early age often show their advantages in sports at this time. However, those children who didn't do much exercise in the early days began to have disadvantages in physical fitness and skills, and some children began to give up exercise for fear of failure.
Therefore, in order to make children's physical development better, parents should let their children participate in sports suitable for his age as soon as possible.
Exercise makes children smarter. Many parents are worried that their children will lose at the starting point, so they have signed up for English classes, piano classes, painting classes and other talent courses since they were very young. Experts suggest that ensuring regular exercise every day can enhance children's memory, concentration and thinking cognitive ability.
