At Kids Arena, we understand that childhood is a crucial stage for establishing lifelong healthy habits. Regular physical activity is essential for the overall development of children aged 6 to 12, significantly contributing to their physical growth, emotional well-being, and academic success.
Benefits of Physical Activity in Childhood
Regular exercise in children offers multiple advantages:
- Improved Cardiovascular Health: Exercise strengthens the heart and improves blood circulation, reducing the risk of future heart diseases.
- Bone and Muscle Development: Activities like running, jumping, and climbing help strengthen bones and muscles, promoting healthy growth.
- Weight Management: Staying active helps prevent overweight and obesity, conditions that can lead to additional health problems.
- Mental and Emotional Well-being: Physical activity releases endorphins, improving mood and reducing stress and anxiety levels.
- Enhanced Academic Performance: Studies indicate that active children tend to have better concentration and academic results.
Physical Activity Recommendations for Children
Health authorities suggest that children aged 6 to 12 engage in at least 60 minutes daily of moderate to vigorous physical activity. These activities can include outdoor games, organized sports, dancing, or simply playing in the park.nhs.uk
