The significance of children's sports
The Guide to Learning and Development for Children Aged 3~6 issued by the Ministry of Education holds that children's health refers to a good state of physical, psychological and social adaptation. Children's physical education is carried out through physical exercise, which can achieve the purpose of physical fitness and mental health. In sports activities, we should cooperate and communicate with others, and the adaptability of society should be cultivated accordingly. Therefore, in the process of participating in sports activities, children can not only get physical exercise and development, but also contribute to good psychological and social development.

(-) Promoting the development of children's body shape and function.

The growth and development of early childhood is very rapid, and the tissues, organs and systems of the body are in a critical period of development. Appropriate physical activities can stimulate and promote children's motor system, cardiopulmonary system and nervous system.

First of all, physical activities can improve children's nervous system's ability to regulate and control the body. For example, children can improve the control and adjustment ability of the nervous system to muscle tissue through various body movements, so as to continuously improve the accuracy and quality of movements; Children's participation in running, jumping and other sports can enhance the regulatory function of the nervous system to the cardiopulmonary system; In the process of throwing, jumping and catching the ball, children can improve the comprehensive adjustment ability of the nervous system to visual and muscle movements. In addition, some targeted sports activities can effectively promote children's bilateral brain differentiation and vestibular balance function, enhance the stability of vestibular function, and at the same time make children's vision, touch and proprioception develop in harmony, avoid sensory integration disorder and promote the development of learning ability.

(B) to promote the development of children's physical fitness

Physical fitness is a comprehensive response to the functions of the main organs and systems in muscle work, which shows a person's ability to exercise effectively, including strength, endurance, speed and flexibility. Children's participation in sports activities can effectively promote the development of physical fitness, which is a process of improving children's physical fitness and enhancing children's physical fitness. At the same time, physical fitness and basic activity ability are interrelated, and children's basic activity ability is the external expression of children's physical fitness development level. For example, if a child's leg strength develops to a certain extent, he will learn to stand and walk. Improving children's physical fitness is the basis of developing their basic activity ability.

Promote children's psychological and social development.

The research of sports medicine and brain science shows that early childhood exercise is helpful to enhance the function and sensory integration of children's brain tissue, which will provide a good physiological basis for the development of children's cognitive ability. At the same time, children are accompanied by a lot of cognitive activities in sports. For example, children need to know and remember the names of body parts and sports equipment; Understand the game method and sports rules; Pay attention to observe and remember the teacher's action demonstration and action requirements; We should imitate and express various body postures and movements; It is necessary to judge the speed, direction and position of the movement of objects or others, and adjust their own spatial orientation and speed in time.

In sports, children will face some challenges, as well as some difficulties and setbacks. At this time, children need to face it bravely, establish confidence in overcoming difficulties, and boldly try and explore. Therefore, exercise helps to cultivate children's positive and optimistic attitude and good will qualities such as being strong, brave and not afraid of difficulties.

Children participating in sports is also a process of communicating with others. Children need to abide by the requirements and rules of the game, overcome self-centeredness and self-impulse, learn to wait, share and cooperate, and have a certain sense of group consciousness and responsibility, which will provide favorable opportunities for the good development of children's sociality.
