Children become aware of community facilities and competitions.
Community clubs are more aware of school programmes.
2.
The relative size of the head in early childhood influences the balance of the body
during movement.
The relative shortness of legs in very young children limits running ability.
Long arms and legs at the beginning of puberty enable children to run better.
Rapid growth leads to clumsiness.
The additional weight that girls gain during puberty, and their change in body
posture influences the speed at which they can move.
Changing from a shorter distance to a longer distance is often advisable, because
pubescent girls run more slowly.
3.
This knowledge will enable the coach to know how the child/athlete responds to exercise
and training, which exercises are relevant for the child and which are suitable for the
athlete's level of development. Children should not be treated as little adults, which mean
that the coach has to make certain adjustments when teaching children.
4.
The integration of physical activities and health
The relationship between health and physical education must be exploited by the teacher.
Effective integration can be achieved by showing children how to measure their heartbeat
and breathing rates and by clearly explaining the relationship between exercise, diet, and
health. The following examples illustrate how health and safety can be integrated into a
variety of physical education activities.
Periodic measurement of height and weight with discussions about growth,
maturation, and the need for daily physical activities.
Discussion relating to the importance of personal cleanliness - showering, nails, hair
and so on.
Projects that involve obtaining background information on physical fitness, personal
assessment and maintenance, or remedial programmes.
