Whether it is competitive sports or mass fitness, it must be progressive step by step. Exercise does have a strong improvement effect on our physical and mental health, but this improvement must be carried out according to our own physical and mental health.
Here we mainly talk about how children and adolescents of all ages can grasp the relationship between exercise volume and exercise intensity.
Preschool children can already start exercising because at this time they are in a period of rapid physical development and are also active. If you do not exercise at this time, it will have a great negative impact on their entire body growth and intellectual development. However, please be careful not to have too much exercise intensity and exercise volume, because some important organs in childhood, including the heart and lungs and internal organs, are still in the process of development and cannot withstand greater intensity of exercise.
Regarding exercise time, preschool children should have a cumulative time of various types of physical activities throughout the day, of which the cumulative amount of physical activities of moderate or above shall not be less than 60 minutes. Physical activities of moderate or above do not mean completing at one time. They can be interspersed in daily life, such as going up stairs, walking briskly, etc., or they can be completed in kindergarten activity classes, such as doing gymnastics, playing games, etc.
Exercise intensity can be gradually increased in primary school. Generally speaking, children and adolescents should undergo at least 3 days of moderate and high-intensity aerobic training per week. We should turn exercise into a lifestyle and arrange appropriate exercise every day based on the child's mental state, sleep condition, and nutritional status.
Some strength training can be taken in junior high school. At this time, the visceral system of children and adolescents and nervous system has been developed relatively well. Carrying out some strength training and high-intensity training is very beneficial to the growth of children.
