The diploma thesis describes the program of the Children's Athletics, conducted by the Athletic Association of Slovenia. This is the Kids' Athletics program, designed by the World Athletics Association (IAAF), based on an analysis of athletics, exercise content in children and the biological characteristics of children. It is intended for children aged 7-12 years.
The content of the program is such that it allows exercises and competitions that are adapted to children and their developmental characteristics. The goal is the promotion of health (encouraging children to move), social interaction (team spirit) and the importance of adventure (motivation). Its features are gradual, practical and accessible. With this, the IAAF program seeks to prevent the decline in motor skills, early specialization and the decline of participating children.
But I want to draw attention to all the problems that arise in athletics for children in the diploma work. The purpose of the work is primarily of a useful nature, such as helping trainers, practitioners and professional workers working with young athletes or other young athletes.
Sports during the period of childhood and adolescence, man are marked throughout his life. Athletics is an exceptional all-round activity, which is very suitable for the proper development of a child. For children to get rich and positive experiences, they can be adapted to their abilities and qualities, characteristics and expectations. A varied exercise in the early stages of athletes' development is a more appropriate way to achieve sports achievements than more demanding and reluctant drones since childhood.
I totally agree that for the right winners, sport in childhood is primarily a game and a fun.
