Jumping: their role in the life of the child and exercise

The child must jump, otherwise it's not a child, but an old man. Toddlers usually like this very much, although at the age of one and a half to two years, jumping without support, they fall more often than they land.


Jumping positively affects the children's body. They develop all the main groups of muscles, joints, ligaments, especially the legs. In the process of jumping, children develop their strength, speed, balance, eye and coordination of movements.

Unlike jogging, there are no repetitive phases, they are not cyclical. This is a speed-strength exercise.

For kindergarten children recommended the most simple jumps: jumping from a height, jumping with advance, bouncing on the spot, jumping and taking off in length and in height.

Courage when jumping a child quickly finds in the game. At first, he learns to jump with the help of an adult, later - on his own. Never hurry events, train the child to jump in a certain sequence. Beginning with the simplest is bouncing and jumping off the heights. Next, gradually move on to more complex exercises - jumping and rushing in length and height.

First, the child must learn how to jump on the floor with two legs, then gradually move to one leg, and later - to jump to a jump.

Learning to jump starts with a very small height-centimeters from five, so a strong swing (swing) is not required. Gradually the height of the subject increases. By the age of five, it can be up to 40 cm. When jumping, the child's attention should be turned to landing. The kid should land with a straight back and keep the balance after landing.

For classes to pass with interest, it is necessary to give the child an assignment. Older children can draw a line or circle at a distance of 15-20cm from the object from which the child jumps off, and ask him to land for this line or circle. As you master the technique of jumping from the height of the quest, you can complicate, jump, for example, sideways, with claps, etc.

Performing a jump includes the starting position, swing and run, push, flight and landing. The overall success depends on the correct execution of each element. The starting position will help correctly carry out zamahpri jumping from the ground or take-off for jumping from a take-off. A swing defines a silo. When the takeoff develops speed, which gives strength for the push. All in the complex determines the flight range.

When jumping from the ground, the jog is carried out with two legs simultaneously, and when jumping from the run, a single, stronger leg. The force of a push is determined by the range or the take-off.

The main task at landing is the repayment of the flight speed without sudden shocks and shocks and maintaining the balance.

Jumping can be divided into two types: jumping by pushing two-legged jumps and jogging with one foot (with take-off).

Children very often confuse these two different techniques. Therefore, for the beginning, it's better not to mix these jumps in one lesson. One day to perform only jumping with a push with two feet, and in the other - with a running start.

Leap preferably on a soft covering (mattress, mat), and in a volatile environment - on grass or napeske, always in shoes.

Equip an obstacle course at home with a few items placed on the floor: chairs, a table, an ironing board for an Ibelian rope (fasten it low over the ground). Let the child with your help overcome the obstacles created, alternately climbing, stepping and climbing them, jumps on the carpet (the height of the jump should not be higher than the level of the child's belt).

In the open air, you can equip a path of obstacles with ropes, twigs, boards, logs, bushes, etc. Overcoming the path should be repeated at least four times. In some areas, allow him to climb around, in dangerous locations, carefully monitor him to exclude any possibility of any injury. In the process of such a game, the foal develops independence.

Exercises with jumps

Run and jump

Draw various circles and dashes on the ground. Then take the child by the hand and with it in the run jump over the indicated obstacles. The purpose of this exercise is to ensure that the child does not stop the front line, does not interrupt the run.

The doll is jumping

One of the adults holds the child by the hand facing him and, together with him, jumps from foot to foot or jumps on two legs simultaneously. Later this exercise is performed without support by the hand.

Sparrows

The child on both legs jumps in place, as well as forward inadvertently. The adult first holds the baby under the armpits, and later face to himself by the shoulders. Having mastered this method, the child should only be held by one hand. Jump with him.

We jump through the puddles

With children of three years, you can jump with two feet from a place through "puddles". Use a hoop as a puddle. If the child at first can not jump such a distance, then take another landmark: note the puddle with a rope, rope, chalk, scarf, pattern on the rug, etc.

As an option, you can double jump: jumping into the hoop, immediately jump out of it.

Jumping

Beginning jump starts to four years. The child first jumps through the hoop to the mat with a short take-off (3 m). Mind the correct technique: take-off, push one leg, landing, crouching over the legs. Do not fall on your hands, buttocks, etc. Gradually, the size of the hoop is increased.

High jump

Approximately from the age of five, the child can learn to jump to the altitude. You need to jump from a straight run, bending your legs. Usually they jump through a torn overturn, but many children are afraid of catching the rope and falling. Also they are protected when the rack on which this rope is fastened is swinging. Best of all, simulate grass and a height of about 30-40 cm from old plastic bottles. On the street try to jump through the bushes.
