Task 1
1.1 Explain why physical activity is important to the short and long term health and well-being of children:
Physical activity is extremely important to the short and long term health and well-being of children. Without physical activity children’s growth and development would be affected. Physical activity strengthens children’s bones, improves their flexibility, strengthens muscles and often improves their balance. There is also a less likely chance of them developing heart disease in later life if they are engaging in enough physical activity. When involved in team sporting activities children often learn how to interact better with other children and by taking part in exercise the child will often develop their self-esteem. A child needs to be physically active to prevent their health being affected both in long and short term.
Short term health
A child who takes part in enough physical activity will be more energetic and less stressed out than a child who takes part in no physical activity at all. It is more likely that a child who is engaging in physical activity will sleep easier and often sleep for longer lengths of time. Sufficient sleep and enough exercise make’s a child’s immune system much stronger which will help prevent the child from catching any infections like colds and flu.
Long term health
Enough physical activity when a child is young will have long term positive effects on their life. A child who is physically active for at least an hour a day is less likely to become over weight in later life. A child who is less likely to become over weight in later life is also less likely to suffer from health problems that include heart disease and cancer. Physical activity in younger life will help strengthen bones in later life. Physical activity in younger life will also reduce blood pressure and with a lower blood pressure you are less likely
