For many parents, sport is still associated with health; they are convinced that the sooner their child starts doing it, the more beneficial it will affect his body. Alas, today's serious sports and even the first classes in sports sections for children have nothing to do with health. Quite the opposite.
Do as I do!
Modern sport is rapidly becoming younger. A child will be gladly accepted into serious sections of sports, rhythmic gymnastics, and figure skating as soon as he turns 4 years old. Yes, such kids still understand little, but they are poorly aware of the danger of some difficult and, at times, dangerous elements, so they easily go through with them. And it’s also easy for a trainer to train such little ones “to suit themselves” and teach them to obey.
In sports sections, there is no play form of classes - and this is the only correct form of any education for children under 6 years of age. This is not a kindergarten at all. Rather, modern sports sections, with a claim to results and the advancement of students to the heights of sports, can be compared to the Suvorov School. This is a strict discipline designed to develop determination, teamwork, and heavy workloads beyond one’s years. All of the above causes enormous harm to the child’s health, including, of course, his nervous system. Depending on the character, in some children strict discipline suppresses individuality, in others, on the contrary, leadership qualities progress. In addition, a child who starts playing sports early is, as a rule, no longer interested in anything else. We can say that in the sections there is a kind of zombification, where the guys have only one goal - to achieve results.
Athlete! But not an excellent student
Children who spend their childhood in sections are characterized by scattered attention, constant fatigue, and constant muscle overload worsens the blood supply to the brain, since all the blood goes to restore muscle tissue. As a result, it is then difficult for such young athletes to switch to school; due to poor blood supply to the brain, they study worse than others. Contrary to popular belief that in order for a child to stop getting sick often, he needs to be involved in sports, classes in sports clubs provoke increased fatigue and regular colds. And no wonder, the baby lives in a state of constant overload, and his immunity declines.
And how many children’s injuries occur in sports clubs! How many female athletes have a delayed maturation process and no periods! And after all, it is for health that most parents send their children to sports. Parents should understand that working in one sporting area is narrow, primitive and, in the vast majority of cases, futile. And not only in relation to the small number of medals being awarded, but, above all, in relation to health. It is no secret that for many young athletes their career ends very early due to injury or even disability. And to do this, you don’t have to break your back, you can just fall on it regularly. It is obvious to experts that an early start to a career always shortens an athlete’s lifespan and makes his results less progressive.
See a doctor first
If parents, despite everything, still decide to send their child to sports, he needs a medical examination. If the club where you send your child is called a sports section, a doctor’s examination is required there. If your section doesn’t offer this, you just shouldn’t stay there.
To understand whether a child is fully ready for sports activities, they must check his heart, pulmonary system, and musculoskeletal system. If a child has hidden heart problems, which he may simply outlive with age, then sport often provokes them. Up to early deaths due to sudden cardiac arrest.
And not only for health reasons, but also in order to avoid disappointments in the future, you need to consult a doctor. For example, badminton. From the point of view of the average person, the sport is easy, frivolous and not at all dangerous. However, with undiagnosed flat feet, a young athlete will never achieve good results in this sport, no matter how hard he tries. The fact is that with flat feet, the ligaments and muscles of the foot do not work, the child is simply not able to jump fast and high enough, which is extremely important in badminton. You can avoid disappointments in the future by consulting your doctor and immediately eliminating certain sports.
Reply to the topic:
Svetlana Zhurova, Olympic champion (speed skating), deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and mother of two sons:“Today it is customary to start early, too early specialization: in figure skating, in hockey. Smarter coaches, those who know children's physiology, devote a lot of time to general physical training. But not all. On the other hand, there are also parents who, for the most part, do not understand anything about this at all, and only see that the child was sent to hockey, and instead of kicking the puck around the ice, he is doing some kind of exercises in the gym . But this is the most correct way into sports. I believe that in any sport the first year should be devoted to general physical training plus a gentle introduction to the sport and getting to know it. I think coaches involved in the early introduction of children into sports can argue with this. But compared abroad, people start playing sports not as early as here. And the results are no worse.”
Sports that are obviously unhealthy at any age
All asymmetrical events: tennis, badminton, high jump, javelin throw etc. When practicing these sports, there is underdevelopment of one part of the body at the expense of another. Although trainers offer compensatory exercises, this does not help the matter. Underdevelopment of one half of the body leads to scoliosis, poor posture, early osteochondrosis and rapid trauma. And this, by the way, applies not only to children, but also to adults.
Rowing is harmful to posture and provokes back diseases due to severe overload of the spine, especially in the lumbar region. Despite seemingly more or less healthy movements back and forth, there is an overabundance of work in the upper body and underdevelopment of the lower body. A rower, a young athlete, is forced to sit all the time, which is extremely harmful for the back. In addition, stagnation and varicose veins of the pelvic organs occur. Plus hypothermia during the cold period, since rowers swim in open water from early spring until late autumn.
Wrestling, such as Greco-Roman, when there is contact between the floor and the head. With such movements, the cervical and thoracic spine is greatly injured, which leads to deformation of posture and the entire body.
Boxing, due to regular concussions.
Artistic gymnastics, acrobatics, diving very traumatic sports and, due to numerous somersaults and somersaults, leading to growth inhibition.
Figure skating unacceptable due to jumping on a hard surface such as ice. But calm skating in the fresh air, on the contrary, is very useful, because it is similar to walking. The main thing is to fall less on hard and cold ice. But even with ordinary skating, you shouldn’t rush; it’s ideal to put your child on skates after 6 years, when the foot is formed.
Ballroom dancing, by the way, is also an asymmetrical load - partners constantly make movements only in one specific direction, with one arm extended to the side. Scoliosis forms.
Ballet - due to the many constant jumps, a strong impact load is created, usually on one leg. The same applies to rhythmic gymnastics and anything that uses one-sided splits or high jumps.
All exercises where there is unilateral footwork: splits on the right leg, high jump over the right leg, they all lead to the formation of incorrect scoliotic posture. Well, an athlete cannot reach heights while achieving results, but, thinking about health, he can jump on his left or right leg! He will always jump only on one convenient one.
Also harmful to health are all exercises that require squats with a barbell, which are widely practiced by coaches in athletics when practicing fast, powerful starts with children. This is a prohibited movement for children.
Typical diseases that occur over time in all athletes.
Osteochondrosis, herniated intervertebral discs, protrusions, glenohumeral arthritis, bronchitis, myopia (decreased vision). To be guaranteed to develop these diseases, it is enough to practice one type of serious sport for ten years. To avoid problems, the best option is to engage in a particular sport for no longer than two years.
Before enrolling their child in a sports section, parents should honestly answer the question: what do they want as a result for him - medals or health. Because it’s either one or the other.
In addition to serious sports, there are many other physical activities in life that are beneficial for the health of both children and adults. About them - in the next article.
Unfortunately, statistics inexorably show a deterioration in the general health of children in Russia. Many factors are to blame. The influence of environmental factors, the rhythm of modern life, the emergence of gadgets, computers, workload at school and even in kindergarten; overwork, the influence of numerous electrical appliances surrounding the child instead of flowers and trees, a basic lack of walks in the fresh air - weaken the health of a little person. Therefore, it is important to strengthen the body’s defenses through preventive measures aimed at strengthening immunity, as well as through physical activity. The sooner you start doing physical activity and sports, the greater the benefits for physical and psychological health. Physical education, sports and health are closely interconnected. There are two different concepts: physical education and sports. Physical education is aimed at improving health, and sports is aimed at obtaining maximum results and sports awards.
Physical Culture has a positive effect on the growth, development and strengthening of the child’s body. Current objectives are to instill in children an interest in physical exercise and teach them accessible motor skills. But physical education is not just running and squats. This is a principle, an ideology, a system that includes a set of actions and exercises, correctly set up and correctly performed. Therefore, in order for physical education to be effective and beneficial to the body, it is necessary to follow some rules. Physical education for children of different ages includes very different activities. Physical education for children under one year old includes reflexive, passive and active exercises. As the child grows up, the exercises become more complex and varied. At first, everything happens in a playful way, but closer to the age of 6 it approaches a school lesson. Parents should be interested in ensuring that their children’s daily routine includes physical activity every day. It is important that the joint work of preschool institutions and families is achieved in using all the possibilities of physical education. If measures to improve a child’s health carried out in kindergarten are supplemented by daily exercises and outdoor games in a family setting (taking into account the child’s individuality and the use of a variety of exercises), he develops individual inclinations and interests.
The family largely determines children’s attitude towards physical exercise, their interest in sports, activity and initiative. Children are especially susceptible to the beliefs, positive behavior of their father, mother, and family lifestyle. Therefore, it is desirable to involve parents in the active pedagogical process, so that the knowledge they acquire is embodied in the specific work of raising children.
Movement, physical education and sports- This is an opportunity to give the child a vital exercise for the body. Little physical activity in a child can lead to a number of serious changes in his body. Today, 4-8% of schoolchildren are diagnosed with obesity. The optimal age to start physical education is 6 years old. Various dance clubs can accommodate 4-5 year old children. In any case, the child should not be sent to where adults want, but to the section that is most suitable for him - in terms of weight and height, in terms of the degree of emotional formation.
Positive characteristics of sports:
- during physical exercise, the human body accelerates metabolic processes, as a result of which fat cells are intensively burned;
- sport helps strengthen the immune system, especially against viral and colds;
- regular exercise promotes a healthy lifestyle, excluding smoking tobacco and drinking alcoholic beverages;
- sport has a positive effect on the human spine, developing correct healthy posture;
- Constant sports activities help strengthen the muscle frame, improve bone tissue, oxygen flows much more easily to all muscles, thereby improving cellular metabolism and lipid metabolism;
- thanks to sports, a large number of blood vessels appear, the condition of the cardiovascular system improves;
- has a beneficial effect on the human nervous system. During sports, speed and agility, as well as reaction speed, improve;
- improves attention and cognitive abilities of children;
- the person becomes more resilient. Sports build character.
Due to new movements and team games, for example, playing basketball, volleyball, football, lateral vision develops, which contributes to quick decision-making. Improves brain activity. In the process of physical activity, endorphins are produced, hormones of happiness, which improve mood and give a feeling of satisfaction with life.
In cases where a child has health problems, physical therapy classes are recommended. Therapeutic exercise is a set of physical and breathing exercises that has a general health-improving and therapeutic effect on the young body. Exercise therapy classes are very useful for chronic or congenital pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, respiratory, and digestive systems. Regular adequate physical activity promotes the harmonious development of the child and reduces the frequency of colds and other diseases. In addition to the main task, physical therapy provides the necessary positive emotional background. A competitive spirit in the company of peers helps to develop favorable motivation, which is a necessary condition for training.
Duration of physical therapy sessions:
20-50 minutes (depending on age, physical fitness, severity of disorders, psycho-emotional state of the child, features of the treatment complex).
Classes are conducted under the guidance of a specialist instructor, where the following tasks are solved:
- developing the skill of correct posture;
- strengthening and healing the whole body, training the respiratory system and heart;
- relaxation and stretching of overstrained muscles;
- training weakened muscles;
- meeting the child’s physical and social needs for self-development.
So, the influence of physical education on a child’s health is difficult to overestimate.

The process of identifying, training, developing, and educating gifted and talented children is one of the most important tasks of modern education. Based on this, the main task of the school’s teaching staff is to create conditions for mental and spiritual development with high intellectual and creative abilities, to educate a physically developed personality and to form a holistic attitude towards a healthy lifestyle. The main objectives are to strengthen the health of students, promote physical development, and help improve the performance of students
The work of teachers and educators with gifted children is a complex process that requires personal growth, good, constantly updated knowledge in the field of teaching, growth in skill, and pedagogical flexibility. Since the influence of physical exercises on the mental development of children is high, it is necessary to devote a lot of attention and time to their implementation.
Work on the development of sports opportunities in a school for gifted children of a musical and aesthetic profile is based on the fact that sport is one of the processes of personal development. It can be effective and productive thanks to the constant systematic work of creative associations, the interaction of an educational institution with the family, established school traditions, the activities of student self-government, the stability of the composition of students employed in creative associations, the use of new forms of education and training that meet the interests of children.
Significant work on the development of children's talent and mental abilities is carried out through the system of additional education. The school has all the conditions for the development of physical development in the form of various sports schools and physical education sections. The development of a child’s mental abilities is facilitated by an active lifestyle and sports, in particular: tennis, checkers, chess, football, relay race, etc.
In a boarding school at a school for gifted children with a musical and aesthetic profile, the Bekbolat sports club has been functioning for more than 10 years. Every year the club's composition is renewed and the captain of the football team is elected. I would like to note that students are very fond of sports games and take an active part in all sports activities.
During the game, conditions are often created when the interests of one child collide with the interests of the entire team; subject to proper guidance, this contributes to the development of many moral and volitional qualities and the development of intellectual abilities. So, for example, pure logic works in checkers, because the concept of the game is very deep - the development of ingenuity, speed of reaction, and erudition.
TO 
Team games, such as football, require the child to be able to coordinate his actions with the actions of other children and control his body.
An active lifestyle has a good effect on blood circulation; during play, signals are sent through receptors to the child’s brain, which ensures the child’s mental development.
P 
indoor games, for example, table tennis, increase motor functions of the body, develop memory, and strategic thinking.
The sports listed above help develop mental abilities. The level of children's skills acquired after school hours during sports activities, the activation of physical and mental activity of students makes them competitive among their peers and increases the authority of the school.
IN 
In conclusion, I would like to say that the physical education of children is inextricably linked with mental and physical activity. It is this connection that ensures the significant influence of physical education on the overall development of children. Physical exercise undoubtedly has a very good effect on the mental development of a child, which means it is necessary to stimulate the child’s body with the help of logical thinking and the development of physical health. The most important thing is to monitor this process, and if the child is overdoing it, find out what amount of exercise is suitable for him. And then our children will be smart, healthy and physically developed.

The influence of sport on child health.
There is a general understanding that sport has a positive effect on the health and development of a child. And this is partly true. If you start playing sports from early childhood, they bring great physical and psychological benefits, including good health and good social adaptation. But sports can often be very dangerous for your child’s mental and physical health. All parents, without exception, care about the safety and health of their children. And while the question arises of what kind of sport the child will engage in, then, of course, the question also arises of how safe this sport is for the child.
According to statistics, about 3,000,000 children get injured every year when playing sports or during outdoor games. In general, these injuries are not severe and could be prevented with the use of special protective devices. Children are much more susceptible to sports injuries than adults because: children have a slower reaction and a weaker degree of coordination than an adult; Babies of the same age can vary greatly in weight and height. Injuries that occur as a result of physical activity can be caused either by sudden injuries (abrasions, fractures, head injuries, torn ligaments), or as a result of excessive stress (overwork, dehydration, overheating) or if the child returns to physical activity without having healed the previous injury.
Before sending your child to a team sports section, it is better to wait until he is 6 years old. In addition to age, parents should take into account the child’s weight and height, as well as his emotional development, for example, the ability to make independent decisions. When choosing a sport, in addition to the level of physical and psychological maturity of the child, do not forget to take into account the following factors:
Quality of preparation and degree of coaching.
A child’s view of the possible increased attention of spectators and guests of the competition.
Risk of injury during training and competition.
The cost of sports equipment that your baby will need.
Certain sports are more traumatic and dangerous to your child's health than others. Basically, all sports can be divided into “high contact sports”, “medium contact sports” and “low contact sports”. It is believed that the higher the degree of contact in sports, the higher the risk of injury.
To prevent the possibility of injury:
Do not ignore special protective devices (helmets, knee pads, etc.). For sports with a high degree of contact, you should purchase a helmet with full face protection, and it is desirable that the face shield is made of polycarbonate (a modern, lightweight and unbreakable material). Helmets must fit exactly and be equipped with a strap that snaps under the chin.
Before you enroll your child in any sports section, consult with your pediatrician and ophthalmologist.
Make sure your child is supervised at all times during classes.
To prevent dehydration, be sure to give your child a bottle of water during training.
Ensure that accessories, sports equipment in the section and surfaces are maintained in safe working condition.
Do not allow your child to wear contact lenses or glasses during training. Regular glasses and lenses will not protect your eyes from injury, but can only aggravate them.
Children with poor eyesight should not take up sports with a high degree of contact.
Follow these simple commandments, and sport will only have a positive effect on your health! And the child will be maximally protected from serious sports injuries. Sport is the prevention of human diseases and quite seriously has a huge impact on human health. We did not previously attach importance to human health, did not compare SPORTS AND HEALTH. It turned out that if a person is healthy, he performs very serious life tasks and can overcome difficulties. Thanks to. Good health leads to a long and happy life. What happens in the body during regular exercise? During sports activities, the main load falls on the system of muscles, bones, joints, ligaments - i.e. on the musculoskeletal system. When we play sports, the muscles contract, which also brings the work of the nerve centers into line. Gentle and constant physical activity has a positive effect on joints. Physical exercise has a beneficial effect on the respiratory system. People who exercise have better ventilation, which has a significant impact on reducing diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia. When playing sports, and with moderate physical activity, there is a beneficial effect on many processes in the human body, namely: improving metabolism, accelerating fat metabolism... . Regular sports, as mentioned above, with moderate physical activity, is the prevention of diseases of the blood vessels - vascular atherosclerosis. We also need to draw your attention to accelerating the metabolism of carbohydrates, which is necessary to obtain energy.
