How important is a child's balance ability?

Speaking of poor balance, we usually think that walking is easy to fall, one foot is unstable, and the center of gravity is unstable when crossing the balance beam. ......

Some Buddhist parents believe that children's poor balance ability is a common phenomenon, and all children are the same. When children grow up, they will naturally "get better".

However, we will find that the difference in balance between adults is still very obvious.

Can poor balance have a negative impact on children? Today, let's discuss this topic together.

Body balance refers to the ability to keep the whole body in a stable state by resisting the external force that destroys balance, and the ability to coordinate the stimulation from vestibular organs, muscles, tendons, body receptors and vision.

It reflects the strength of the body's core strength, can ensure the normal development of teenagers' spine and bones, maintain normal body posture, improve the body's control and balance ability, and improve the efficiency of whole body movements during exercise. It plays an important role in mastering the rhythm and stability of movements.

Poor sense of balance will lead to children sitting and standing instead of sitting, always staggering when walking, and falling down when something trips.

Holding things in your hand is unstable, fidgeting, inattentive and inefficient in learning. Standing on a high place will make children afraid, even lead to aggression and slow language development.

Balance ability is the basic athletic ability of children and the foundation of walking, running, jumping and crawling.

The early development of balance ability directly affects the development of children's sports ability in the future. It ensures that we will not fall when walking or standing, and the strength of balance ability will directly affect the child's sports ability.

What we usually call balance mainly includes two kinds:

①.？ Static balance ability. The ability of static posture to keep the center of gravity and posture of human body relatively static;

②.？ Dynamic balance ability. Refers to the ability to control the center of gravity and posture of the human body under the state of motion.

When children's balance shows the above-mentioned poor balance ability, parents should pay attention, because balance has a great influence on children's sports ability.

A sense of balance is not innate. Poor balance is a sensory imbalance. Many parents think it doesn't matter when they grow up.

Then you are wrong. Some things stand out more when you are young, such as balance. Some adults are just not as good as children.

A child's ability to balance is not achieved overnight. Children with poor sense of balance (standing on one foot and walking in a straight line can be tested) will have obvious improvement after exercise for a period of time.

In order to improve children's balance ability, we can do this:

①? Stand with your feet back and forth: stand on tiptoe with your heels and put your hands on your sides naturally. See how long the child can stand and how his body shakes from side to side. You can go forward, close your eyes and go backwards.

②? Standing on one foot: the body stands naturally, lifting one foot until the thigh is parallel to the ground, the calf naturally hangs on the ground, and the hands are akimbo or raised horizontally. If you can persist for more than 30 seconds, you can gradually close your eyes, or step on some soft and unstable mats for training, and constantly stimulate proprioceptors to adapt your body to such an unbalanced state.

③ Practice of complex movements with one foot. For example, one-legged squat, swallow balance, multi-directional one-legged jump and so on. And then it can be advanced into an unstable jump, which is more suitable for children over six years old.

4 core training. A specific anti-rotation training method can make children more stable and powerful.

Core cluster is the most important thing to maintain the stability of the body, which can effectively resist the external force that makes the body unbalanced.

In order to avoid unnecessary movements or body rotation and affect running efficiency, the trunk must have a solid foundation. Trunk is the central link of our limbs movement, connecting our limbs, and its strength directly affects the effect of coordinated movement of our limbs.

Children can also do some physical support movements, such as cat crawling, belly dancing and so on.

We adhere to such a principle in training balance, and we can't break it without breaking it.

Before training balance, it was to destroy his balance and establish a new balance. Whether standing on one foot, standing with eyes closed or unstable movements, including core training, are all aimed at changing the original balance components, making the practitioner's body adapt to such an environment, and achieving the purpose of improving balance ability.

It is necessary to proceed step by step in a safe environment. It is against the law of things to run away before leaving.

Appendix (Postscript)

The ability to play well will be integrated into the curriculum of all ages, and the difficulty coefficient will be adjusted with the increase of age, so as to steadily improve the comprehensive ability of children's balance according to the needs of children of different ages.

The course to win physical fitness is not only balance training, but also other physical qualities, such as strength, endurance, speed, flexibility and agility.

In addition, emotional intelligence is added to the curriculum, so that children can improve their physical fitness and emotional intelligence in sports, get along with others better, and be more confident and cheerful.
