Why Choose Gymnastics
Gymnastics is perhaps one of the most comprehensive “lifestyle exercise programs” available to children, incorporating strength, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination, power and discipline.
Gymnastics and early childhood movement education is directly attributed to developing neurological pathways in students and promoting reading readiness. While the preschool gymnastics teacher runs about and plays with the little kids in her class, she is preparing her students for successful experiences in school; children who have participated in movement education activities have longer attention spans, increased communication skills, general problem solving skills and improved self-esteem.
Why is physical activity for kids so important?
Young children who engage in 40 minutes of normal vigorous activity each day have significantly stronger bones than their less active peers, according to new research presented in the Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the official scientific journal of the American College of Sports Medicine.
The researchers at the Center for Disease control report that youth who undertake lifestyle exercise programs, like gymnastics or cheerleading, that increase physical activity, reduce the intake of high-caloric foods and involve parents have the best chance of preventing and reducing obesity over the long-term.
Researchers at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School found a relationship between physical activity and children's self-esteem. The more time children ages 10 to 16 spent being active, the higher the thier self-efficacy and self esteem were reported to be.
