| Description | Child growth and development need suitable types and dosing of movement activities. Risk of insuffi cient movement activities (immobilization) belongs to significant risks of school attendance, besides infections and overloading. In the city of Brno 50 pedagogues have been inquired by means of anonymous questionnaires in 10 basic schools. Questions were focused on defects of the movement system with emphasising disorders of back (the incidence, diagnostics, prevention). In classrooms of one-fi fth of the teachers there are children with orthopaedic disorders of back. Just parents should bring their children to regular and various movement activities, encourage them in proper life habits, motivate them by joy of movement; the school should use short exercise during lessons, motivation to movement in breaks, in interest groups and in out-of-school activities, reduced performance evaluations in physical training lessons and care of proper body posture. |
