In recent days, parents of primary and secondary schools in Guangdong Province have forwarded the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau and the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education to jointly issue the "Implementation Opinions on Deepening the Integration of Sports and Education and Promoting the Healthy Development of Adolescents" in the circle of friends. The "opinions" mentioned in the "opinions" that "sports are directly linked to graduation", which has triggered a hot discussion on the Internet.

If I remember correctly, this should be another province that has made a major reform of the sports score of the middle school entrance examination after Yunnan Province, Henan Province (Sanmenxia City) and Shaanxi Province (Ankang City) raised the sports score of the middle school entrance examination to 100 points.
As the secondary school physical education exam continued to heat up, this wave of sports gradually spread to primary schools and kindergartens, causing a chain reaction. Primary schools and kindergartens across the country have increased the schedule of physical education classes to varying degrees.
At the same time, non-disciplinary off-campus training institutions are also moving, and sports training programs for kindergarten and primary school have sprung up. Many parents of children want to register their children, but in the face of a wide variety of sports training programs, they do not know how to choose correctly.
Next, we will take 3-6-year-old children as an example to see what are the characteristics of children's sports in this age group. What issues do I need to be aware of? For your reference.
From the perspective of children's psychology, it is necessary to interact with fun
Children aged 3-6 are at the core stage of mental development, with the advantages of being curious, lively and energetic. The disadvantages are: sensitivity, vulnerability, lack of patience.
Therefore, when carrying out children's sports, it is necessary to give full play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, stimulate the enthusiasm of children's sports through encouragement, and build children's self-confidence through praise. At the same time, it is necessary to fully consider the objective differences of each child, and avoid standardized and professional sports training for children, so as not to cause frustration in children's hearts because the movement is too difficult.
Jogging, cycling, rhythmic gymnastics, badminton, table tennis, basketball and other sports are more suitable for 3-6-year-old children, parents can choose according to their children's interests and hobbies, if parents can accompany children to carry out parent-child sports, the effect is better.
In addition to the traditional sports introduced above, there are some intelligent sports projects launched by kindergartens and children's physical fitness training institutions. Like the "Little Firefighter" AR somatosensory sports game in the AR wisdom classroom below, children simulate firefighters for physical training, and in the process, they need to complete running, jumping, throwing, balancing, drilling, climbing and other actions, and have fun.
Classroom practice proves that interactive and interesting sports games can allow children to play in middle school and practice during play, which not only satisfies the curiosity of children's role-playing, but also exercises the physical fitness of children, and also cultivates children's willpower to be fearless of difficulties and complete goals.
From the perspective of children's physiology, it is necessary to be scientific and progressive
Children aged 3-6 years are in an important stage of physical development, with a significant gap compared to adults. For example: (1) Children's heart contractility is weaker, and less blood is pumped out each time the contraction is pumped. (2) Children's bones are relatively soft and not easy to fracture, but the hardness of the bones is small and easy to deform. (3) Children's muscle contractility is weak, lack of endurance, and easy fatigue.
Therefore, when guiding children to exercise in sports, we must strictly abide by two basic principles: First, the intensity of exercise should be low. Long-distance running, weight-bearing, tug-of-war, wrenching and other sports are not suitable for children aged 3-6 years old, otherwise it will cause an excessive burden on children's heart, lungs, bones and muscles. Second, exercise should be less. Children's physical endurance is limited, and attention should be paid to controlling the amount of exercise, so that children will not produce obvious fatigue.
3-6 years old, belongs to the enlightenment stage of children's sports, should use children like to play, can often play fun sports games to attract children, so as to cultivate children's interest in sports, and gradually form a like sports, adhere to the habit of sports.
Like the "Cheetah" AR somatosensory sports game in the AR wisdom classroom below, the children control the cheetahs in the three-dimensional scene through their own body movements, swim in the river, catch antelope in the African savannah, and have a lot of fun.
In the relaxed and happy game process, the children's attention is focused on the animals in the three-dimensional scene, and they are fully integrated into the storyline of the sports game, and unconsciously, the children's strength, speed, flexibility and coordination have been fully exercised.
Technology empowers sports and makes children fall in love with sports
Chen Heqin, a well-known expert in children's education in China, once proposed: "A strong country must first strengthen the breed, a strong seed must first strengthen the body, and to strengthen the body, we must first pay attention to the young children."
Therefore, as early as a few years ago, the education authorities put forward mandatory requirements for the daily teaching arrangements of kindergartens: the outdoor activity time (including outdoor sports activity time) of young children should not be less than 2 hours per day.
At the same time, under the impetus of the Education Informatization 2.0 Action Plan, the teaching methods for children's sports are constantly being innovated. Gamified teaching methods based on AR technology and somatosensory technology began to rise quietly in kindergartens.
When I visited the kindergarten, I found that when children play AR somatosensory sports games, they make dozens of actions according to the plot design of the sports curriculum, as long as they can successfully complete the actions, the system will give different encouragement and praise to stimulate children's greater interest in learning.
Kindergarten teachers said that the usual sports are mainly carried out outdoors, and sometimes the weather is not good enough to cancel. The AR Wisdom Classroom is used indoors and is not affected by the weather and is more convenient.
brief summary
Exercise science research shows that scientifically beneficial sports have a very important role in promoting the development of the central nervous system, cerebral cortex and cardiovascular system in children aged 3-6 years, and educators and parents should attach great importance to children's sports.
It should be reminded that the sports of children aged 3-6 must not be rushed, and must be based on the physiological and psychological characteristics of children, using interactive, interesting and playful sports games to stimulate children's enthusiasm for participating in sports, and gradually improve children's physical fitness according to the gradual scientific principles, laying a solid foundation for a healthy and happy life.
