What you can expect to work on in POWER MOVES
Coordination and Speed
Coordination refers to the ability to use different parts of the body together smoothly and efficiently. It involves the integration of sensory information (from vision, hearing, and touch) with motor actions, enabling kids to perform tasks like throwing, catching, running, or writing with control and precision.
By improving coordination, children develop a wide range of skills that support their overall physical, social, and cognitive development. These abilities not only enhance their performance in sports and activities but also contribute to a well-rounded, active lifestyle.
Speed refers to the ability to move the body or parts of the body quickly from one place to another. For kids, speed training often involves running, sprinting, or performing quick movements in sports or play. Speed isn’t just about how fast kids can run, but also about how quickly they can react and move their bodies in different situations.
Agility and Balance
Benefits of Agility Training for Kids:
Agility is the ability to move quickly and easily, changing direction with speed and precision while maintaining balance and coordination. It involves both physical and mental skills, such as reaction time, coordination, and the ability to make fast decisions during movement. Incorporating agility into kids' fitness routines can help them develop a strong foundation for both athletic and everyday physical activities.
Balance is the ability to maintain control of the body's position, whether standing still or moving. For kids, developing good balance is crucial as it serves as a foundation for many physical activities and everyday movements. Incorporating balance exercises into a child's fitness routine helps them become more agile, coordinated, and confident while reducing the risk of injury and supporting overall physical and cognitive development.
