Active engagement in physical activity
Our organism is not adapted for inactivity. Prolonged periods of inaction are not natural for us. Movement constitutes an indispensable human need, accompanying us throughout our lives and exerting a positive influence on all bodily systems. Humans require physical activity just as they require oxygen or food. In childhood, movement plays a crucial role in overall development and the formation of correct posture, prevents postural defects, increases resistance, and ensures healthy habits. Therefore, the need for movement in children is of great significance. Appropriately selected and dosed physical activity helps avoid negative consequences of psychological and physical overload of the body, prevents deformities, contributes to maintaining correct posture, and develops physical fitness.
