Why Children Need Physical Activity to Grow up Strong and Healthy


Doing certain types of exercise have been proven to help children build stronger muscles and bones. Developing a good physical foundation from a young age includes building healthy bone mass and density. This will help reduce the risk of developing bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis later on in life and in addition, could prevent heart complications.


According to recent data released by the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) there are three types of physical activities that should be included each week for children and adolescents. The CDC also recommends that in order to try and build/maintain a healthy lifestyle, children and adolescents should complete 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on a daily basis. Some examples of exercises your child can incorporate into their daily routine are:


1. Aerobic Activity:

Should be implemented at least 3 days a week. Thirty to sixty minutes per day where your child is getting an increased heart rate, like the extended running included in basketball will help your child prevent risk factors for various health conditions like heart disease, childhood obesity, and type 2 diabetes.




2. Muscle-Strengthening:

Activities such as: climbing, doing push-ups, and maintaining a solid defensive stance while guarding your opponent will help build your child's muscles and core strength.




3. Bone-Strengthening:


In addition to a high calcium diet, activities that include: walking, running, and especially jumping, two to three days per week can help the development of your child's bone structure while maintaining a lower overall body fat.

At Royal Basketball School, we believe there is so much more to developing your child's basketball skills than just going out on the court to shoot. We focus on the fundamentals of the game. The critical building blocks your child needs to become a solid overall basketball player. The younger a child begins working on their game, the faster they will develop into a well-rounded athlete.  Developing proper body movement, harnessing athleticism, perfecting hand eye coordination, enhancing  work ethic, and the promotion of a daily exercise routine, will all be taught to your child.  Our youngest age groups focus on: How to run, jump, slide your feet, skip, move dynamically with high knees, and jump on a single foot.
