Abstract
That physical education and sports for children is indisputable, this has been proven and is proven by scientific achievements, even going so far as to categorize physical education and sports for children as a separate branch of sports, unlike adults, i.e. a branch independent of sports science and the sports system. The problem of scientific research in motor activity in the first years of life is of special importance because in these years they are a fundamental element necessary for the formation of personality. With preschool motor education, the foundations are laid for an organic programming of pre-sports and sports activities, providing at the same time the essential elements of the individual's own life. , significantly facilitating regular learning both in school and pre-sports. Data sources: A systematic literature search on the topic of this doctorate was conducted in electronic databases such as PubMed, CrossRef, Google Scholar, Research Gate, as well as books and doctorates dedicated to this topic. The availability of the text is - free full text; The attributes of the requested articles are – review, systematic review; Publication date; Last 10 years until December 2022. Study eligibility criteria: A systematic approach was used to evaluate 16 articles from PubMed, 34 articles from CrossRef, 9 articles from Google Scholar, and 5 books (64 total references). identified for initial screening. After an in-depth review of these materials, 21 of them met the conditions to be considered valid for the topic we are dealing with. Physical education and sports play a certain and important role in the physical and mental development of children at certain stages of development and why not, even determining. Through this education, children are given all the opportunities to discover and know themselves, to continuously develop their motor skills inextricably linked to their childhood world, to their talents, predispositions and entertaining potential, valid for the present and the future, forging, at the same time, their personality. Being born as a creature of nature, but with the many confrontations in social life, he potentially turns into a social being where education understood in all aspects plays a special role for this. In this framework, physical education and sports have their weight. This education aims to contribute to the creation of a better, peaceful world, to preserve human dignity. In addition to these positive values, if the purpose of this education tends towards selfish goals, then participation in it will have negative consequences, creating a state of false superiority over others. The rules of physical activity are rules of the democratic activity of living, where our goal as physical educators is not to create the strong, to train the lion, but to educate with the rules of society, of the state for a better future. Physical education sport today is no longer a profession, but a mission, a philosophy, which, along with the development of physical skills, also pursues intellectual achievement for a balanced human being, that is, to train the individual on both sides: physical and intellectual, in a harmonious character. Through active participation, the child will develop the basic concept of sport as a single and integrated being where he is and should be the protagonist of his own education. Someone calls this education a weapon that, no matter how small, is effective in fighting vices such as alcohol, drugs, prostitution and other temptations that today's youth are going through. Winning the competition is not everything, it is only one thing , because to impose on children, to make their victory so important, you have actually weakened their autonomy, their internal motivation, their sense of self. Psycho-physical education conditions school success. It presents the most efficient means of preventing disorders and limits the risk of a failure at school by assuming the dependence of normal intelligence. It is an educational tool that strengthens the possibility to accept a sports practice without the risk of compromising the equilibrium of the subject, avoiding the damage of a premature specialization, with essential aspects of a problem that affects children at that age in which the foundations of what the child's future will be are laid. For a general unbalanced development of the child a complete development of motor skills must be guaranteed, both in the expressive and the transitory plan. The behavior of the individual in the sports activity, as well as his behavior in general, is complex and dynamic. That physical education and sports for children is indisputable, this has been proven and is proven by scientific achievements, even reaching as far as physical education and sports for children to categorize it as a separate branch of sport, unlike adults, i.e. an independent branch of sports science and the sports system. Motor education of 3-6 year old children cannot be other than psychokinetic education, that is, with the aim of the global formation of the child from all perspectives: motor, affective, cognitive and social. So we can talk about basic motor education, because it must guarantee the child the most complete adaptation in different forms of learning: social (relationships in life), sports (multivalent motor readiness aimed at the beginnings of the future practice sports. In order for the individual to accept from a normal life, to a complete personality structure, he will have to ensure a normal evolution of psychomotor functions. In order to understand these attitudes that do not belong exclusively to the physical sphere or the psychic sphere, but to the psycho-physical interactions, at that level when any division between the body and the mind is deeply arbitrary. The methodological-operative plan of motor education is essentially focused on the structure of the body scheme, in the space where the following basic functions are shown: 1) Adaptation function. 2) Body sides or lateralization 3) Knowledge and perception of the body itself. 4) Time and space perception. Briefly analyzing the characteristics of these functions and their importance, which for us contains the basis for a regular development of the child. Essentially, these functions are closely related to the function of the central nervous system. Before talking about functional development, we must emphasize that as long as psychomotor functions can be developed optimally, the interaction-affective aspect must be constantly present. We mean the relationship that stabilizes between the teacher and the child himself. If it is not operated in a relaxed and calm climate, where the teacher does not stabilize effective communication with the children, cases of contraction and closure can be observed in which nothing can be built. This depends on the attitude of the teacher
