FINE MOTOR SKILLS

Fine motor skills are important for school readiness.  Research indicates that fine motor skills play a role in cognition and language development.

Origami as an art reaches back thousands of years. “Origami is really almost as old as paper,” Ms. Zeichner explained — it means “to fold paper” in Japanese — and paper in sheet form is thought to have been invented in China around 105 A.D.

BASIC PHYSICAL ABILITIES

There are four basic physical qualities or abilities (BPA):

  • Strength
  • Resistance
  • Speed
  • Flexibility

All are very important and are involved in games and sports, albeit in different ways depending on the activity.
Strength is the ability to overcome resistance. We can develop it with fighting games, thrusts, pushing, pulling objects, climbing, throwing balls, etc ...
 
Speed is the physical capacity that allows us to perform movements and displacements in the shortest time possible. We can develop games and exercises where we run as much as we can for a short period of time.


 
Resistance is the body ́s ability to exercise for a long time. We can develop this with games, sports or exercising for a long time but at a gentle pace.
 
Flexibility is the ability to make broad gestures. We develope specific exercises. All of our food depends on the type of muscle fibers, age, sex, training, muscle temperature, etc. At your age, girls ́ BPA are more developed than boys.
