Gommern calls for children's fighter: strong kids for a healthy future!

Sonneberg, Deutschland - movement is life, and this applies especially to the youngest among us. The health and children's fighter (GKZ) brings a breath of fresh air to the sports landscape and gives children the opportunity to try out in a varied competition. Initiated by sports teacher Steffen Hartwig, this varied competition is very popular across the borders of Gommersn, including in Brandenburg, Sonneberg, Celle and Wernigerode. The first registrations by SV Eintracht, SC Magdeburg and Potsdam, who want to participate in this event for children from 2014 to 2019, are already reported. You can register very easily via the Malig-lauf.de website.

But what exactly is behind the GKZ? With the motto "Make children strong without addiction and drugs", supported by the BZGA, the competition pursues an important goal: to get children from their sporting time off for the past two years. This advance is also necessary because movement plays a crucial role in the development of physical and psychological skills in childhood, and diverse types of movement are particularly important. The World Health Organization recommends that children of preschool age are active three hours a day, of which at least 60 minutes with medium or higher intensity. Events such as the GKZ are all the more important that convey the kids fun with the movement and promote their health.

an exciting competition system

The GKZ offers an innovative competition system in which the children can demonstrate their skills based on various disciplines. The challenges include the 6 -second sprint, long -term zone jump, medicine shocks, high vault, 30 seconds run, 30m hurdles, discus throwing, softener throw, stick flying and a stadium run over 400 meters. These disciplines are designed in such a way that they are adapted to age and at the same time increase the fun of movement.

With a specially developed evaluation and measuring system, which has been experiencing regular adjustments since 2019, half points can now also be achieved. The children start in a triangle of 15 meters, which is an exciting challenge, especially since only two of them compete at the same time. The competition is also supported with documents and medals for all participants and trophies for the winners. During the competition, a fruit buffet from Schmidtchen on Tour ensures that the little athletes are also culinary.

movement as the cornerstone of childhood

The importance of movement in early childhood development cannot be assessed highly enough. Children who move regularly not only develop their motor skills, but also benefit in their concentration and social interaction. According to an investigation, the lack of exercise in Germany is worrying, and it is clear that educational institutions and parents are required to make the everyday life of children more moving. This knowledge is emphasized in numerous sources, including the Federal Center for Political Education, which indicates the social differences in movement and educational opportunities.

This day, it is all the more important that children are motivated by role models in their environment to be active. Not only access to sports offers plays a role, but also the social and emotional support that you receive. Movement should give joy and not be burdened by sitting for hours, because after all, we are all asked to promote the natural urge to move of the children. So, dear parents: be active and let your little greetings take from the fresh air!
