Daily physical activity is necessary for building strong bones and muscles as well as strengthening hearts and lungs. Exercise also helps young children to improve their gross motor skills, including running, kicking, throwing, and swinging. Regular physical activity can greatly decrease children's risk of becoming obese and developing associated health problems, as well as promoting better sleep. As well, since many young children play with other kids, exercise time can also help young children to develop good social skills such as sharing, communicating, and empathizing. Play time can also become a family experience which serves to bond family members together and allow adult members an opportunity to model healthy exercise habits for children.
For example, regular brisk walking can help you: • Maintain a healthy weight • Prevent or manage various conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes • Strengthen your bones • Lift your mood • Improve your balance and coordination The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits. Walking and biking are both excellent forms of cardiovascular exercise which, when performed regularly, can ward off disease, shed pounds, improve mental outlook and reduce the likelihood of dying young. Each have their merits and drawbacks, and which is the best choice for you largely depends upon what you'll enjoy doing most, the health of your joints and how much weight you'd like to lose. “Like walking, biking is low-impact and easy. It's also fun, and according to NutriStrategy, burns a lot of calories - significantly more than brisk walking.” (Bigelow) You’d be forgiven for wondering but stair climbing can have a significant and positive impact on an individual’s health over time.
It helps anyone who wants to build muscle endurance, increase lean body mass, boost strength, and increase anaerobic performance. Creatine helps your cells retain water, which is good for performance. This can, however, give you a higher body weight; this is why fighters and other weight-class athletes may need to cycle off creatine from time to time. Creatine is safe for teenagers and it's also effective. Research suggests that creatine improves strength and performance in teenagers who were already in shape and highly-trained for their sport.
CYPOP4-1.1 Explain why physical activity is important to the short and long term health and well-being of children. Physical activities are an essential component in children’s overall health and well-being. Many of the population of children don’t seem to be as active as they should be and this has harmful short-term and long-term effects on their health and well-being. Being very active/physical can prevent these effects. The current guidelines for physical activities suggest that children should be doing at least an hour everyday of some form of exercise engaging in physical activities.
1.2- Explains the benefits of regular exercise to: health of the family, the child’s or children’s growth and development. Health of the family self-esteem--- feeling happy *Confidence- *Helps you lose weight *Self-image- feeling good about yourself because you have lost weight The child or Children’s growth and development When children do exercise it can benefit from regular exercise because if they are active they will have stronger muscles and bones, can have leaner body because of exercise can help control body fat, can become less likely to get overweight, decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, can get possibly lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, have a better focus on life, and if the child get regular exercise then they can sleep better and are able to handle physical and emotional challenges. The Three Elements of Fitness If you've ever watched kids on a playground, you've seen the three elements of fitness in action when they: run away from the kid who's "it" (endurance) cross the monkey bars (strength) bend down to tie their shoes (flexibility) Parents should encourage their kids to do a variety of activities so that they can work on all three elements. (http://kidshealth.org/parent/nutrition_center/staying_fit/exercise.html# ) However if children do aerobic exercise then the heart can beat faster and the child wild breathe harder. So if the child has done exercise for a long period of time then the aerobic activity can strengthen the heart and improves the body’s ability that can deliver oxygen to all the child’s cells.
Exercise can significantly increase Muscle strength and as well as the fast twitch fiber, which improve the speed of response and quality of muscle activity, and help prevent injuries and falls. Bone mass loss begins around the age of 35-40 which increase the probability that the older person will break their legs or arms from falling. Recent study strongly support that exercise can prevent bone loss and bone density in older person with regular and long-term exercise and it also helps the treatment of osteoporosis. Therefore, stronger bone can be achieved through regular physical activities and lower the chance of fracture and injuries. (c ) Exercise increases the body's level of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that reduce pain and induce a sense of well-being.
Each day is started by an appropriate warm up and finished with a warm down. The warm up is to prepare the body for training; enabling the athlete to perform at their optimal performance. The benefits of a warm up include increasing blood flow to the heart and muscles, increase in heart rate, increase in muscle elasticity and it prevents injuries. A warm down is an essential part of any fitness program. Following a training session a good warm down assists the speed of recovery by helping to remove lactic acid, preventing injuries and reducing muscle soreness.
This includes cognitive and emotional development, fostered through access to play in the early years and high quality education in school, and physical development, for example through a nutritious diet. School is a key area of children’s lives where experiences vary greatly and negative experiences have a significant impact on well-being. 1.2 When children show healthy development in spite of adversity, it is called resilience. Fostering resilience in young children requires strengthening the family, the community, as well as children’s own personal resources. If children are resilient they will be able to cope better with problems, they will have better health and they will be happier and more fulfilled.
CYPOP 4 In this unit I am going to explain the importance of physical activity and the development of movement skills for children’s development, health and well-being. It is important to promote physical activity from a young age, even when children are babies we are encouraging physical activity for example rolling to crawling then walking, also babies fine motor skills like pointing or picking up a toy, because this will contribute to their overall health and well-being. Physical activities help reduce risks of children getting any diseases like diabetes later on in life. Other benefits of regular physical activity from a young age includes; * Muscle and bone strength * Reduces body fat and
There are many benefits from steroid use. To begin, athletes will attain a greater increase muscle mass and reduced fat. When it is used with a combination of rigorous training and the drug, the results are sometimes overwhelming. A major benefit of the steroid use is that the athlete's body suffers fewer breakdowns. This decrease in muscle breakdown and lower recovery time permits more frequent training sessions at higher intensity and for longer periods of time.
