Children’s health experts say that children are in a period of rapid growth and development, the body organs, tissues are not yet mature, there are many different anatomical and physiological characteristics with adults, so some physical exercise is not suitable for premature development in children.
Children under 10 years old should not play bumper cars.
Children’s muscles, ligaments, bones and connective tissues are not mature, very fragile, easy to cause sprains and bruises when subjected to strong collisions.
Children under 8 years old should not play scooters.
When playing scooters waist, knees, ankles need to force to support the body, these parts are very vulnerable to injury, so be sure to do a good job of protection, it is best to have a parental escort, and find a flat and spacious area to play.
Children should not engage in tug-of-war.
From a physiological point of view, the heart of young children is developing, and when the limb load increases, it mainly relies on increasing the heart rate to increase the blood supply. Therefore, the heart is easily fatigued and young children cannot afford a big force confrontation like tug of war. A physiological examination of 250 children aged 5 to 6 years old in a tug-of-war was conducted by medical practitioners, who found that the heart rate was high and that 30% of the children’s heart rate failed to return to normal one hour after the match.
In addition, tug of war is a strong confrontational sport, due to both sides pulling too long, too hard, under the action of strong external forces, easily caused by dislocation or soft tissue injuries.
Children should not practice muscle too early.
In the process of human growth and development, height before weight growth, children are the first to grow in height, weight, and muscle contains more water, containing little protein and inorganic salts, weak strength, easy fatigue. Therefore, it is not advisable to carry out muscle weight-bearing strength exercise too early in childhood.
Children should not be upside down.
Although the IOP regulation of young children is strong, if they often perform inversions or each inversion is too long, it will damage the eye’s regulation of IOP.
Pediatricians believe that for the physical development of children and adolescents, parents can allow their children to jump rope, bouncing, jumping jacks, shooting small balls, playing small soccer, playing small basketball, swimming and other sports, these projects will help to increase the height of children and adolescents, but will not harm the body.
