Children And Sports

Sports are good for children of all ages. It may be

enjoyable for children to enhance their physical activity
if they take part in organised sports and games.
However, the sports activities should be appropriate for
the children. If they are engaged in such sports which
are not according to their developmental abilities, they
can lead to disappointment. Even they can lead to early
dropout. As a matter of fact, children and sports are
closely related to each other. They cant remain away
from sports activities whatever the circumstances are.
In fact they have innate tendency to take part in sports.
The most important thing is that childrens motor
development should be according to the requirement of
sports.
Motor Development in Children :Motor development refers to the development of a childs
bone, muscles and ability to move around and manipulate
his/her environment. In simple words, motor development
means the development of movement and various motor
abilities from birth till death.
Test and Measurement In Sports:As a matter of fact, it is very significant for the individuals to
set the objectives which they want to fulfil in a physical
education and sports programme. It is essential to determine
whether or not the objectives have been achieved. For
example, if you want to improve your cardio- respiratory
fitness, you will have to participate in fitness programme. After
certain period, if you do not measure and evaluate your cardiorespiratory fitness, you may reamin in dark. Leonardo Da
Vinci has rightly said, if you are enamoured of practice
without scientific ways, you are just like a pilot who goes into a
ship without rudder and compass and does not know his
destination.
