Parents are looking for more than just watching their kid chase a ball, because where is the ‘overcoming obstacles’ in that? It’s no secret sports like NinjaZone, gymnastics, dance, and yoga are proven winners in the kids sports and activities game for whole body training. But why? The answer is multifaceted and can seem complex, but we’ve got it, baby!
Let’s break it down to SIX key scientific principles.
1. Physical Development (well, duh!)
- Muscle Development: strength, agility, and flexibility
- Bone Health: stronger bones
- Coordination: fine and gross motor skills
2. Cognitive Development (we like big brains and we cannot lie)
- Problem-Solving: enhancing their cognitive skills
- Focus and Concentration: improved attention span
3. Psychological Benefits (we’re awesome & we know it)
- Confidence: self-esteem & feelings of accomplishment
- Resilience: emotional resilience and ability to cope
4. Biomechanics (woah, that’s a big word…)
- Balance and Stability: body control and maintain balance
- Injury Prevention: minimize the risk of injury
5. Neuroplasticity (ope…so is that one)
