During the winter vacation, more children are moving! Physical exercise for primary and secondary school students has become a common practice

At the beginning of the winter vacation, Chen Youyou, a second-grade student from Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, turned on the "sports mode": at 9 a.m., he appeared at the badminton hall on time to participate in the training camp, in the afternoon, he completed 10 sets of standing long jumps and 3 sets of 1-minute timed rope skipping at home, and after dinner, he and his parents had a "City Walk" along the streets of the old city......

For Chen Youyou, this winter vacation is a bit special. In previous years, during the winter vacation, her parents would always sign her up for several subject training classes, but this year there was none. "Mom and Dad said that they hope I can take advantage of the winter vacation to exercise more and strengthen my physique, which is more important than getting a few more points in the exam. ”

In fact, parents like Chen Youyou's parents are not a minority. This winter vacation, the reporter observed that more and more parents realize that it is more meaningful for their children to have a healthy body and mind than to have a perfect report card, and more and more parents are taking their children to exercise and cultivate exercise habits.

Why are primary and middle school students and their parents more and more in favor of the "winter vacation exercise"? How can more "little glasses" and "little chubby dun" raise their heads and move from their mobile phones and computers? This reporter conducted interviews and investigations on this.

1 With the winter vacation coming, physical exercise for primary and secondary school students has become a common practice

At a children's parkour gym in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, 7-year-old boy Ollie is intently shuttling through uneven fields, running briskly and coherently, running, jumping and rolling between obstacles. This winter break, Ollie has parkour classes twice a week.

Shuai Shuai, from Chengdu High-tech Zone, Sichuan Province, has just entered the first grade of primary school. During this year's winter vacation, his mother signed him up for a physical training class, which lasted for two hours a day, which was rich and interesting. "The first is a warm-up for athletic dance, followed by training, including running, long jump, climbing, skipping rope and other events, and finally stretching. ”

The reporter saw in a children's sports training institution in Beijing that there were obviously many more children participating in the exercise in the venue than usual, and there was an endless stream of parents who came to consult and sign up.

This winter vacation, why has the physical education training class become the choice of many parents?

"Exercise is so helpful in strengthening a child's physique. "Handsome mom is quite touched. Since the autumn and winter of last year, mycoplasma pneumonia, influenza A, influenza B and other respiratory diseases have been rampant in various places, and many students in Shuaishuai's class have been hospitalized because of illness and missed a lot of classes. Because he usually likes sports and has strong physical fitness, Shuai Shuai persevered to the "finals".

In the view of Shuai Shuai's mother, there are many benefits of children's exercise: "In addition to improving children's physical fitness, it can also promote metabolism and nutrient absorption, so that children can develop better, and can also prevent obesity caused by overnutrition in children." In addition, outdoor exercise is also good for preventing myopia and protecting eyesight. ”

"Usually at school, my child doesn't have much time for sports, and the winter vacation is relatively free, so we hope that he can live a more fulfilling time during this time, so we choose to strengthen his physical fitness. Shuai Shuai's mother introduced that in the preschool stage, the child was exposed to physical training, from the initial physical fitness game, to the current special physical exercise, "Shuai Shuai's physical fitness is getting better and better, and he also fell in love with sports unconsciously." At present, Shuai Shuai's level of basketball, football, running and other sports is envied by his classmates at school, "This is a virtuous circle, and he is full of self-confidence because of this, and his interest in sports has also increased." ”

2. Choose sports to build a good psychological quality for your child

As soon as the winter vacation arrived, Liu, a third-grade student at the No. 2 Primary School in Yanqing District, Beijing, couldn't wait to go skiing with his brother. Yanqing District has complete ice and snow facilities, and you can reach the professional ski resort in about half an hour's drive.

When arriving at the ski resort, Liu Zao needs to wear a helmet, do a good job of protection, and be fully armed before he can start skiing. It is not easy to control this sport well, sometimes it will stagnate when you slide, and sometimes it is easy to fall "squat" if you can't brake the car. But this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the early morning, and every time he skied, he was full of anticipation: "My brother is very handsome when he skis, and I want to be like him." I'm not afraid of difficulties and have fun skiing. ”

Liu Zao's mother, Ms. Zhang, said that although her youngest son's skiing skills are not as good as those of her brother, she can hone his willpower by falling down again and again. "I believe that in the future, he will also have the courage to get up and continue to move forward in the face of other difficulties in life. ”

In the interview, when it comes to why children should strengthen physical exercise during the winter vacation, many parents and experts mentioned that sports can play a vital role in shaping the psychological quality of children and adolescents.

"In addition to enhancing children's ability to resist frustration, sports are of great help to establish children's sense of rules and cooperation. Guo Rui, a physical education teacher at Xiyuan Primary School in Haidian District, Beijing, said.

"We often say that there are no rules and no rules to be a person and do things. Sports are precisely very rules-oriented. Whether it's a physical education exam, a sports competition, or a sports game, there are rules. If participants don't follow the rules, they won't get a score, let alone decide a winner. Therefore, in physical exercise, children will gradually understand and learn the rules, and will learn to play fairly on the basis of abiding by the rules. This lesson is very important to them. Guo Rui explained.

Talking about the shaping of children's psychological quality through sports, Ollie's mother said that sports not only make children's attention more focused, but also improve their social skills. She also hopes that in the future, she will have the opportunity to add another group project for her children to exercise their sense of teamwork.

Guo Rui also agrees: "Sports are very helpful for establishing children's sense of collectivism and cooperation. She pointed out that in addition to maintaining excellent academic performance, children should also learn to socialize with others. Participate in more sports that require cooperation, such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, etc., to develop a sense of mutual cooperation. "When a child learns how to deal with his peers in a sports group, he will naturally be able to handle his relationship with others with ease in his studies and social interactions. Guo Rui said.

3 It is more important to make the "little chubby" and "little glasses" move and develop exercise habits

Wang Yue, from Linfen City, Shanxi Province, is in her first year of junior high school this year and is an out-and-out "house girl". The greatest pleasure of the holiday is to stay at home, dive headlong into the sea of short videos, and occasionally plunge into the world of video games, and inadvertently, the day passes.

"Children are addicted to electronic gadgets, don't eat on time during the holidays, but eat a lot of snacks. After the holidays, my myopia deepened and my weight increased. But every time she cares about her, her left ear goes in, and her right ear comes out, and we can't keep an eye on the child 24 hours a day. Wang Yue's mother was distressed about this for a while.

However, things have taken a turn for the better during this winter vacation of the first year of junior high school. Wang Yue had a deeper understanding of health, and took the initiative to express her desire to lose weight with her mother. Wang Yue's mother seized this opportunity to make an exercise plan for the winter vacation with her children, and squeezed out time to accompany her children to exercise after work. "We don't think it's too strict, just exercise in moderation, and then gradually when we are interested. So we currently plan to let the children play badminton or skipping rope downstairs every day after studying, and go out for a walk with the whole family after dinner. ”

"Parents are the best role models for their children, and the same is true when it comes to physical activity. Ollie's mother said that she has a habit of exercising all year round. Subtly, every time she went to the gym, the child shouted to go with her. The winter in the Northeast is cold and outdoor exercise is limited, so Ollie's mother takes her children to the gym to exercise. Together, they jump rope, throw balls, do planks and sit-ups, and Ollie acts as a little teacher for her mom, teaching her parkour moves. "My child has a great sense of accomplishment when he teaches me, and we interact very well when we play sports together, and the parent-child relationship is more harmonious. ”

In order to allow primary and secondary school students to move more in addition to completing written homework, schools around the country have left some "winter vacation sports homework" for children. Guo Rui told reporters that Xiyuan Primary School has set up physical education homework for students in grades one to six, "all of which are physical fitness tests that can be completed at home, such as skipping rope, sit-ups, etc." However, she said that the school's arrangement is only a basic reference, and it does not force children to follow the content. Children are encouraged to choose exercise programs based on their interests and conditions. "Whether it's signing up for a sports winter camp, exercising with fitness equipment in the community, or going outdoors to climb and hike, it's all good. The form of exercise is not the most important, it is important for children to realize that sports are a part of life, so that they can gradually develop the awareness of spontaneous exercise and develop a habit that will benefit them for life. If parents are able to participate in exercise with their children, it can also promote a good parent-child relationship. Let children have a strong body and heart, this is the precious wealth left to children. ”
