How to teach a child to run fast and correctly

Running is one of the most popular and effective sports. Running is the constituent element of most types of movements (for example, jumps in height or length from takeoff). Basketball, volleyball, football and tennis also require the athlete's ability to correctly and quickly run.


For proper running, good coordination of the movements of the legs and hands, proper posture and positioning of the foot on the support, which depends on the type of running, is necessary. In addition, rhythmic activity is important in running. Rhythmicity provides high speed and running time. Rhythm is characteristic for running in a hall or on a sports ground. But running on the terrain, where there are irregularities, turns, ascents and descents, requires the ability to quickly rearrange the coordination of movements.

What are the basics of running need to train children?

Children of preschool age must learn to run fast, easily, rhythmically, well coordinating their hands and feet. The child needs to be able to change the technique and vibega depending on the conditions. On an uneven surface run in a slowed down tempo, uphill - in small steps, from the mountain - wide. Games, when you need something to hype, or games like salok or specks require the ability to dramatically change the tempo, suddenly stop.

By the age of two, the toddler walks already confidently and at times makes attempts to accelerate walking. He leans forward and makes quick steps on his knees bent. It seems that he is about to fall. This is not yet running, but only a trial, an attempt. But pretty quickly he really starts running. At the first stage, the steps are still uneven, the movements of the hands and feet are often inconsistent. Stopumalysh puts heavily (neighbors from the bottom immediately understand when your child runs around the apartment).

Gradually the run becomes easy, rhythmic, coordinated. Rebenokinkictively learns to rearrange the foot from the heel to the toe. Over time, it develops various techniques of running. If you ask a child to quickly run a short distance, he will run vigorously, on his toes, actively working with his hands. The real distance, he will act differently: he will run at a calm pace, rearranging his leg from his heel to his toe and not working so actively with his hands.

When the child runs correctly, his torso is slightly tilted forward, he looks straight. The arms and shoulders bent at the elbows move freely, the fingers are half-bent. He puts his foot smoothly, mostly on the outer toe part of the stomp. At the moment of repulsion, the jogging leg is fully straightened, and the mowing leg, bent at the knee joint, is pushed forward with the thigh. When running the sub-chair the torso is tilted forward, the length of the step increases, the foot becomes full stop. In the process of slow, prolonged running, the thigh of the flight of the legs is not high.
