Psychomotor Development and its relationship with Physical-Sports Activity in Early Ages.

Abstract

Introduction. The psychomotor development of the child is essential for their progress in the practice of physical-sports activities, however, in order to achieve favorable results, different aspects must be considered. Objective. Reflect on the relationship between psychomotor development and the practice of sports physical activities at an early age. Methodology. The methodology followed was descriptive, documentary, based on the RSL (Systematic Literature Review). The use of theoretical methods favored the inquiry, review and analysis of the preceding documentary information, located in 37 sources from different databases; all related to the subject under study. Results. 1. The relationship that exists between psychomotor development and potential reached for the practice of sports physical activities is evident. The greater the psychomotor stimulation received at an early age, the better the child's performance in physical sports activities. 2 Psychomotor development goes through several stages, which must be respected and stimulated through playful activities to promote full child development. 3. All physical-sports program at this stage must consider the dosage, loads, intensity, sex, age and type of activities to be carried out 4. There is no single criterion in the scientific community regarding the advantages or disadvantages of early initiation to   The   practice of physical sports activities, regardless of this, the close relationship between optimal psychomotor development and perceptible improvements in the practice of physical sports activities at an early age is established. Conclusions. Coinciding with the preliminary theoretical and scientific position, the close relationship between the child's psychomotor development and the favorable potential for the practice of physical-sports activities is supported. Optimal psychomotor development encourages perceptible improvements for the practice of sports physical activities at an early age, making it necessary to respect the evolutionary stages of child development to enhance their maximum performance.
