Obstacle course (or coordination route) - develops motor planning, includes alternating exercises, movements, changing directions, speed of execution, and the use of different equipment.
Depending on the direction and complexity of the selected exercises in the motor route, you can powerfully affect the child's body and only 2-3 exercises.
To correctly create an obstacle course, it is important to determine:
1. The goal, objectives, direction of the PP, pace (power or coordination, speed or low tempo, etc.)
2. Physical qualities and skills.
3. Difficulty and sequence of exercises.
4. Determine the time of passing the distance, taking into account the capabilities of the child.
5. The number of exercises.
6. The part of the lesson in which the PP will be used.
7. Inventory.
It is important to remember that obstacle courses can be warm-up, main, exercise therapy, coordination, etc.
A few methodical life hacks:
1. Use exercises known to the child and safe in the PP.
2. First, practice each exercise separately.
3. Gradually add the number of stations (fix 2 stations, then 3, 4, and so on) and increase their complexity.
4. The PP must have a clear start and a clear finish.
5. Add cognitive load, train your attention.
6. Don't get hung up on the obstacle course. Remember that this is an element of the training process and there are different directions of classes.
7. Complicate, change the direction of movement, inventory: surprise the muscles and adapt the child to new conditions.
8. Build a PP taking into account the individual characteristics of the child.
