Children are in a period of long knowledge and long body, full of energy and like activities. In addition to normal school activities, children can also be organized to engage in appropriate amateur physical exercise in a large number of spare time, which is an important means to educate children about capitalism and train successors to the proletarian revolutionary cause. Gymnastics training requires athletes to bear hardships and stand hard work. Many movements in gymnastics training need the revolutionary spirit of "courage, firmness and composure", which requires athletes to have a high degree of organizational discipline in training and competition. These have a positive effect on the formation of proletarian world outlook, the cultivation of brave and tenacious will and style, and the cultivation of children's strict organizational discipline and hard-working spirit.

Childhood is the fastest growing period of the body, but it is also a period of uncertain development. To make children develop healthily, it is very important to organize and guide children to participate in sports activities. Gymnastics is rich in content, suitable for children's physiological and psychological characteristics, can effectively promote children's all-round development, and has a good effect on regulating the central nervous system, improving the function of vestibular analyzer, improving the whole body material metabolism, and developing the qualities of flexibility, dexterity and strength. Systematic gymnastics training can promote children's development.

Children's physiological characteristics also determine that children can create better results in gymnastics training. Children's central nervous system has high flexibility. Although excitement and inhibition are transformed quickly and learning actions are easy to repeat, they have good memory and strong plasticity. As long as they pay attention to the training methods, once the movements are consolidated, the skills will not easily disappear. With the development of gymnastics techniques, there are many somersaults, which require athletes to have good vestibular analysis organs and proprioception and external receptors that can closely cooperate with them. The exercise of these inner and outer receptors is most effective in childhood.

Gymnastics is also suitable for the characteristics of children's motor organs. Children's bones have more collagen, less calcium, stronger bone elasticity, wider range of joint movement, more muscle moisture and less protein. Although their muscle strength is not as good as that of young people and adults, their flexibility and joint flexibility are much better than that of adults and young people. Gymnastics training from an early age and laying a good foundation for flexibility are of great significance for forming correct action essentials and postures and for developing to a high level in adulthood.

Before sexual maturity, young female athletes are lighter and have greater relative strength, so it is easier to master some difficult movements. Experience has proved that female gymnasts can reach a higher training level before puberty after strict, reasonable and scientific training since childhood.

It can be seen from the above points that it is appropriate to carry out gymnastics training among children, but when organizing children to carry out gymnastics training, we should pay attention to their psychological and physical characteristics, strictly control the amount of exercise, avoid local overload and excessive strength exercise, and ensure their healthy development and growth. It is very necessary for them to develop morally, intellectually and physically in an all-round way and lay a good foundation for improving their sports skills quickly in the future.
