Childrens physical exercise is very important. Not only does it create a healthy body but it also causes a chemical change in the brain that causes a healthy mind. Active kids are all-round more healthy and happy, they have better sleeping habits and have better social skills than less active kids.
Other benefits play has include the development of gross and fine motor skills. Children are less stressed and have a better self-image. They learn much easier than less active children do. It also helps them keep a healthy weight, and to build muscle and joints, as well as stronger bones.

Why is it important to stimulate childrens physical exercise?
The increase of physical activity is directly link to an increased life expectancy and the decline of cardiovascular illnesses and disease. Physical activity and play create overall psychological, physical and social well-being. Studies have shown that children who are not active are most likely to be inactive as adults as well.
Physical activity also assists with the prevention and control of:
- Weight
- Blood pressure
- Increases good cholesterol (HDL)
- Reduces the risk of diabetes
- Risk of some forms of cancer
- Improves psychological well-being that includes a better self-esteem and sense of self-worth
If your child just plays for twenty minutes every day it will increase your child’s development rate. If kids play with children of their own age it also teaches them valuable social skills.
Your child and fitness
It is recommended that childrens physical exercise should consist of the following, especially if they are preschoolers:
- Sixty minutes of structured physical activity led by an adult
- Sixty minutes of free play or unstructured physical activity
- Unless children are sleeping, they should not be inactive for an hour or longer at any period.
Parents should know what activities and skills their children have mastered and whether the skills are appropriate for their age group.
At Jungle Gym World, we are able to assist you with this. One of the services we offer is providing parents with advice regarding the value of playground equipment for preschooler’s gross motor skills, creativity and cognitive, social and emotional development.
Childrens physical exercise at preschool level mostly consists of hopping, jumping, throwing, catching and balancing. We have special sports equipment in our range of playground equipment that will stimulate and assist children to master these skills. It has also been shown through psychological tests that children who do not play fail to flourish. Play should also be meaningful. Childrens physical exercise should consist of variety and choice. At Jungle Gym World, our outdoor playground equipment will provide the variety and choice you need. Contact us now to reap the benefits of our equipment. |
