Spring has arrived, the temperature is gradually warming, and the earth is full of life. According to the World Health Organization's survey report, March to May is the period of the fastest growth and development of children, with an average monthly increase of 73 mm. During this period, proper exercise can safely and effectively promote your child's height growth. So, which sports are right for kids? Let's take a look!
1. Reasonable collocation and step-by-step exercise plan
1.Choose the right sport
In the spring, children can try some jumping sports such as touching heights, jumping, jogging, jumping rope, cycling, shuttlecock kicking, basketball, volleyball, swimming and stretching gymnastics. These exercises stretch muscles and ligaments and stimulate cartilage growth, which is beneficial for the development of bones in your child's spine and limbs.
2.Follow the "Three Perfection Principles".
When choosing an exercise program and adjusting the intensity of exercise, it is necessary to follow the "three-pronged principle": that is, to work the whole body, to cover all the elements of exercise health, and to adjust the exercise intensity moderately. This ensures that your child is well-rounded in sports and doesn't focus too much on one aspect of training to the expense of other important aspects.
3.A combination of swimming, cycling and stretching gymnastics
Activities such as swimming, cycling, and stretching gymnastics are very beneficial for your child's growth and development. However, a single sport program may not meet the needs of a child's holistic development. Therefore, parents can reasonably match these sports according to the "Three Perfection Principles", so that their children can achieve the best results in spring sports.
2. Precautions before and after exercise
Warm up and stretch
Before exercising, children need to warm up to reduce the risk of sports injuries. Warm-up exercises should include movement of the neck, shoulders, arms, waist, knees, feet, and ankles. After exercise, proper stretching exercises are also performed to help muscles recover, increase flexibility, and reduce the risk of injury.
2.Control the duration of exercise
It is recommended that children exercise between 2 and 8 p.m. During this time, the human body functions at its best and is suitable for all kinds of sports. Also, avoid exercising on an empty stomach or in extreme weather conditions.
3.Assess your physical condition
Before and after exercise, parents should pay close attention to their children's physical condition. If your child has symptoms of discomfort, lack of desire to exercise, or lack of sleep, the exercise plan should be adjusted or the exercise should be suspended.
In short, in the spring, the first period of growing taller, parents should encourage their children to participate in jumping sports more, and follow the "three principles" to reasonably match sports and control exercise intensity. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the warm-up, stretching and physical condition assessment before and after exercise to ensure that children can safely and effectively promote height growth during exercise.
