Sport can bring great benefits to children by helping to improve their cognitive and emotional development, working on concentration and their emotional well-being in different ways that we will discuss in this blog.
As far as concentration is concerned, children improve their concentration and cognitive performance since through play and following instructions they increase the circulation of blood and oxygen to the brain, allowing the optimal functioning of the nervous system and body organs.
Another of the physical benefits that sport provides is emotional well-being, helping them to release tension and improve their mood since endorphins are released, these hormones help to relieve stress and anxiety, helping them to release a little of the tensions that may be feeling.
In addition, it develops planning skills, logical and strategic thinking in both team and individual sports, for example in basketball where a team strategy is planned or golf that requires greater concentration and planning in shots.
In conclusion, sport will help improve their concentration, cognitive performance and mood in a fun way, allowing them to reach their full potential from an early age.
