Abstract

The dynamic development of all areas of life requires increasing mental resistance, vital energy and exercise capacity. Technology makes human life easier, makes it more efficient, but its development is accompanied by unfavorable phenomena, which consist in eliminating movement and physical work from human life. We live in a time where a lot of work is done in a sitting position. A comfortable lifestyle in the comfort of civilization (e.g. watching TV, computer games), avoiding sport, physical recreation or physical education classes are the most important causes of developmental abnormalities, increased susceptibility to diseases, posture defects, neuroses, mental diseases, obesity, sleep disorders , tissue hypoxia, muscle failure, diabetes, hypertensive disease and many other so-called " civilization diseases ". In addition, the lack of exercise accelerates the aging process, impairs the functioning of organs, and reduces efficiency and physical fitness. The above examples are the cause of personal tragedy for many people. Physical (movement) activity is a key and integrating component of a healthy lifestyle, it is one of the basic human needs at every stage of life. Without it, any health strategy, its maintenance and multiplication is impossible, and proper development in children and adolescents. Activating the child's movement affects not only motor development but also other areas of development and functioning of his body. As is known, the deficiency, but also the excess of physical activity can cause many disorders and an increased risk of diseases. Taken on a regular basis, not occasional, moderate and maintained within the tolerance of the system, it results not only in the increase of muscle mass, strengthening of bones and joint connections, but also an increase in heart mass, lowering blood pressure, slowing the heart rate, slowing down the respiratory rhythm, etc. in the mental and social sphere, it helps to obtain a number of features necessary in adult life, e.g. resistance to stress, emotional balance, the ability to psychologically adapt to changing conditions. By arranging and slightly detailing the fundamental changes taking place under the influence of regular physical activity, they can be presented in the following schematic approach. from developmental stage, sex, living conditions, health, fitness level and physical capacity, genetic factors. We know that every child, in order to develop properly, should be physically active for a few hours a day and, if possible, it should be a varied exercise. With age, interests differentiate, and in particular the needs of girls and boys (this is mainly due to gender differences in motor skills, motor skills and psyche) and adults (men are more interested in strength efforts, and women are more interested in coordination and with a musical background); spontaneous physical activity and the need to move noticeably decrease. This is a research challenge for many fields and scientific disciplines. This study responds to the challenges in its scope.
