Step - aerobics for preschoolers
Step - aerobics for preschoolers.
In childhood, movement is vital. As a result of a lack of movement, the muscular system suffers, muscle tone, performance, endurance decrease, the body's resistance to colds decreases, and metabolic disorders occur. Motor activity is a powerful biological stimulator of the vital functions of a growing organism. An accessible means of increasing health potential is physical education. In order for children to have a feeling of joy and improve their mood during physical education classes, new technologies, methods, and forms are needed to improve the health of preschoolers. Particular attention should be paid to the selection of physical education equipment.
One of these is the step platform. “Step” translated from English means “step”.
What are the advantages of the step platform:
? Children develop a stable balance;
? Confidence;
? Orientation in space;
? General endurance;
? The accuracy of movements is improved;
Physical qualities are developed: agility, speed, strength. Endurance increases, and subsequently the body's resistance to diseases. But the most important advantage of the step platform is its healing effect.
Classes with a step platform contribute to:
? Formation of posture, musculoskeletal corset;
? Development of coordination of movements;
? Strengthening and development of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems;
? Formation of the ability to perform simple movements in a rhythmic manner.
The scope of application of steppe is quite wide: it is both individual work and independent motor activity of children, which is the main thing in physical education classes.
Physical education and health work in our preschool educational institution is delivered at the proper level. In my work, I use professional step platforms with middle and high school children.
I use step platforms at every stage of the lesson:
? In the water part, children go around the benches (walk or run like a snake);
? In general developmental exercises, which are performed in the form of step aerobics and in different starting positions on the step (standing, sitting, lying), which develops a sense of balance, coordination and contributes to the development of orientation in space;
? In the main part: these are various exercises to develop strength, agility, endurance, incl. with various attributes;
? In outdoor games and relay races.
When organizing step training, we must not forget about safety precautions and physical activity for children of a certain age, its distribution taking into account their state of health and level of physical fitness. So, more complex exercises should be alternated with less complex ones.
I remind children to maintain correct body position during all movements.
The basic rules for performing step-training techniques (are also reflected in the physical education corner for parents):
- Perform steps to the center of the step platform;
- Place the entire sole of your foot on the step platform when ascending, and when descending, place your foot from toe to heel before taking the next step;
- When descending from the step platform, remain standing fairly close to it. Do not retreat more than the length of your foot from the step platform;
- Do not start teaching children how to use their hands until they have mastered the movements of their legs perfectly;
- Do not rise or fall from the step platform while standing with your back to it;
- Take a step with ease, do not hit the step platform with your feet.
- Classes should be carried out only in sneakers.
The selection of music for exercises is of great importance. It simultaneously serves as a motivating factor, guides the progress of the workout and dictates the speed of movement.
When choosing musical accompaniment, I am guided by the presence of a clear percussive rhythm in the composition. For each segment of the step program, I select the music taking into account the tempo and duration.
I include children's performances with a step platform in the program of holidays and entertainment. This increases children's interest in physical exercise and causes a positive emotional response in them.
Thus, the use of a step platform allows children to develop a strong interest in physical education, which is one of the most important conditions for the formation of motivation for a healthy lifestyle.

Step - aerobics in kindergarten
The problem of the physical development of children is one of the most pressing and priority in the work of our kindergarten . To develop the physical qualities of children, we use the following programs and technologies: “Physical education for preschoolers”
L. D. Glazyrina, dance and play gymnastics Zh. E. Firilyova, E. G. Saikina
“Sa-fi-dance”
, innovative methodology - eurythmics, breathing exercises technique of A. N. Strelnikova.
All this is aimed at preserving and strengthening the child’s health, promoting the formation of the beginnings and habits of a healthy lifestyle, the foundations of physical education, and instilling in children the need for physical improvement and movement based on “muscular joy
.
The above can also include step aerobics .
Step aerobics is rhythmic movements up and down on a special step platform , the height of which varies depending on the level of difficulty of the exercises.
Step aerobics develops mobility in the joints, forms the arch of the foot, trains balance, strengthens the muscular system, improves flexibility, plasticity, restores body tone, normalizes the activity of the cardiovascular system, helps develop good posture, beautiful, expressive and precise movements, promotes harmonious development .
To work with this technology, you do not need to purchase expensive equipment. A walking bench, no more than 8 cm high, 25 cm wide, 40 cm long, covered with soft leatherette, which you can make yourself, is enough.
working with steps with a few simple but important rules:
1. Perform steps to the center of the step platform ;
2. Place the entire sole of your foot on the step platform when ascending, and when descending, place your foot from toe to heel before taking the next step;
3. When descending from the step platform , remain standing fairly close to it. Do not retreat from the step - platform more than the length of the foot;
4. Do not start teaching children how to use their hands until they have mastered the movements of their legs perfectly;
5. Do not rise or fall from the step platform while standing with your back to it;
6. Take a step with ease, do not hit the step platform with your feet .
Then comes the learning of the basic elements:
1. Basic step
2. Step feet apart, feet together.
3. Side step with touch on the platform or floor.
4. Steps with rising onto the platform and bending the leg forward (various options)
5. Touching the platform with the toe of your free foot.
6. Step across the platform
7. Lunges to the side and back
8. Additional steps to the right, left, forward, backward, with turns.
9. Steps to the corner
10. B – step
11. A – step
12. jumps (jump onto the platform with one leg)
13. Jumping
14. Upper back muscles. Lying on your stomach, on a step platform , your shins are on the floor, your arms are bent, your forearms are up. Pull your arms back, return to i. P.
15. "Boat"
on the stomach.
16. Adductor muscles of the thigh. Lying on your side, put the “top”
foot on the platform.
“lower”
works (lifts up) .
17. Push-ups while lying down become more difficult if the feet are fixed on the platform.
18. Back support, using the edge of the platform, is a good triceps exercise.
19. It is advisable to perform a number of exercises for the abdominal muscles while lying on your back, on a platform.
20. Chassis – side gallop to the side, in small steps.
Exercises for step aerobics are selected primarily of a cyclic nature (mainly walking, causing active activity of the circulatory and respiratory organs, enhancing metabolic processes, simple in their motor structure.
The set of exercises consists of a preparatory and main part. The preparatory part ensures that the body is warmed up and prepared for the main physical activity. All exercises of the main part are performed on the step in a light dance rhythm with a small amplitude. aerobics complex ends with breathing and relaxation exercises performed at a slow pace.
One set of step aerobics , as a full lesson, is performed by children for three months; some exercises may change and become more complex as they are mastered.
Step aerobics is performed to cheerful music familiar to children. You can use modern pop music. The most important thing is that it is rhythmic, cheerful and emotional.
Collective activities for children with musical accompaniment are perceived much better by the pupils and increase their emotionality. When doing joint exercises, children do not feel discomfort or uncertainty, even if not everything works out.
In kindergarten we use the following options for step aerobics :
• in the form of full health-improving and training sessions with children of senior preschool age, lasting 25-35 minutes. ;
• as part of a lesson (duration from 10 to 15 minutes)
in the form of outdoor switchgear with and without objects;
• in the form of morning exercises, which enhances its healing and emotional effect;
• in children's demonstration performances at holidays;
• as step entertainment ;
The step platform is used in a variety of ways:
•as equipment for the formation of basic types of movements: running, walking, jumping, crawling;
• for outdoor games for both older and younger children,
• for holding relay races,
• for performing rhythmic compositions, dance movements, game rhythms and eurythmics elements;
• for individual and independent motor activity.
