At present, more than 65% of China's 6-15-year-old teenagers spend their spare time on mobile Internet and video games, so that the physical health problems of Chinese teenagers are shockingThe lack of attention to physical education is fundamental to the problem.
A growing body of scientific research has shown that spending a certain amount of time playing sports can make children more focused in class, which is beneficial to learning Xi. More exercise can make children safer, whileThe level of cognition is related to the health of the body.
An entrepreneur named D**e Fulk posted on LinkedIn explaining why so much money is spent on children in various sports.
"We don't spend money on sports, we spend money on the opportunities that come with sports to develop the character that children will use for life. ”
It doesn't have to be a professional athlete, so why do you want your child to stick to physical training?
We all know that exercise can strengthen muscles and enhance heart and lung function, but this is only the basic role of exercise, the key is that exercise can not only fitness, but also exercise the brain and make you smarter.
Exercise and the brainMany people think that exercise has little to do with the brain, some people are naturally smart and creative, and some people are born stupid, what does this have to do with sports?But more and more research has confirmed that exercise awakens our brains and makes our bodies stronger, and more and more kinesiologists are discovering that the most critical role of exercise is to strengthen or improve the brainEspecially in childhood, scientific exercise can promote brain development. (Childhood refers to children between the ages of 0 and 14 who are in the preschool and primary school stages.) )
Evolutionarily speaking, humans are endurance animals, and we can hunt antelopes that are faster than us by running for long periods of time.
When we no longer need to run in search of food, our genes are still written for this activity. This makes our bodies inherently need to move.
Maintaining a certain amount of physical activity enhances the neuronutrition of nerve cells in the brain**, keeping our brain flexible and making it less susceptible to damage by putting moderate stress on the body.
Today's students, the school's contempt for physical education, and the parents' lack of attention to children's physical activities have also led to the lack of vitality that children should have. Physical activity can help children build a mind-body connection that keeps their brains in tip-top shape. Engaging in sports for a long time can improve children's attention, memory, etc., and engaging in team sports can also cultivate children's sense of teamwork. An important part of the child's brain is attention and memory, which plays a very important role in children's academic Xi and cognitive function, and the improvement of attention and memory is completely helpful to the improvement of children's academic Xi performance.
Some students have difficulty learning Xi, not because of their IQ, but because of their concentration and memory. If you want children to improve their Xi performance, first improve their concentration and memory. And it is precisely in sports that it has such an effect.
"Exercise not only strengthens the body, but also exercises the brain and makes you smarter".This conclusion has been confirmed.
Some researchers randomly selected 180 children aged 6-10 years old and divided them into control group (90 people) and experimental group (90 people), and randomly divided the experimental group and the control group into 3 groups with equal numbers.
They were the 10-minute exercise experimental group, the 10-minute exercise control group, the 20-minute exercise experimental group, the 20-minute exercise control group, the 40-minute exercise experimental group and the 40-minute exercise control group.
The exercise intervention programs were basketball and taekwondo, with exercise twice a week for 5 weeks.
Results: There were also differences in the effect of different time of participation in physical activity on children's executive function, and 40 minutes of physical activity had the best effect on children's executive function.
Movement & ExecutionExecutive function is an advanced cognitive function that is the process by which the brain controls and regulates various resources when completing complex cognitive tasks.
Children will have executive function after the age of 1 year, and the executive function of children in early childhood has improved significantly, approaching ** at about 12 years old. Executive function plays an important role not only in children's brain development, but also in mood.
Early childhood is the rapid stage of children's brain development, but also an important stage of the development of executive function, whether in school Xi or in life, if children have good executive function, not only can help them in life can effectively manage themselves, but also in the Xi to achieve the effect of improvement.
Poor executive function in children can not only reduce their ability to learn Xi, but also cause behavioral and emotional problems, such as aggressive behavior, irritable temperament, lack of concentration, hyperactivity, etc.
Many researchers have found thatParticipation in sports is the improvement and enhancement of a child's executive function.
Researchers have compared children aged 5-8 who like to participate in sports with children who do not like to participate in sports, and the results show that the executive function of children who like to participate in sports is significantly stronger than that of children who do not like sports, and the reason is that children who often participate in sports can learn to control their behavior during sports, which is obviously helpful for children's physical and mental health.
Self-reinventedAt a time when the integration of sports and sports and education in the high school entrance examination is being vigorously promoted, how to use sports to cultivate children's physical and mental health, adapt to society, and coordinate the development of brain and body is a question worth considering. Today's parents understand children's intelligence as how many words they know, how many stories they can memorize, and even send their children to Xi classes during their children's rest time, learn foreign languages, art, etc., which is a wrong misunderstanding, IQ is not only manifested in excellent grades Xi in school, but also the ability to adapt to society, effectively and quickly deal with problems, and so on.
One of the most effective ways to develop a child's IQ is to participate in sports with a purposeNow, let's change our mindset about the misconception of sports.
As an important carrier that affects people's thoughts and mental activities, the body is also the whole of energy. The transformation of the body is the transformation of the self from the source, the limbs are developed, and the mind is not simple!
Sports not only improve children's physical fitness, but also change their inner character and mental health. Compared to video games, which only need to sit still, sports are beneficial and harmless from the perspective of physical and mental development. In addition to giving people a good body and good energy, sports also convey a kind of spirit. In particular, the process of setbacks, struggles, successes, setbacks, and re-emergence in competitive sports can give young people a new understanding of themselves, and at the same time can change their hearts and become more confident. There are other things that children learn from sports that they can use for a lifetime.
Physical education and education have always complemented each other, and only with a healthy body can we learn Xi more efficiently.
In addition to physical education classes during the semester, weekends, long vacations, and winter and summer vacations are also good times for Xi to master sports skills and develop regular sports Xi habits, which should be taken seriously. Parents can work with their children to create an exercise plan and complete the check-in goal according to the plan. You can also participate in sports research camps to improve your sports skills with more professional and systematic courses.
