The best age for sport

Actually, the physical exercises are recommended since the very early age. As for the professional sport, there are some age recommendations. First of all, every parent is to remember that a few children are inclined to the high sport achievements due to their hard work, goal orientation, and natural abilities. If your child does not achieve the high results even with the condition of discipline and hard work, so, sport activity is useful to his development anyway.

As for the age recommendations, such kinds of sport as acrobatics, callisthenics and football are advised since six years old. Three-year old children are able to be involved into swimming (with parents, in the age of seven they can start swimming alone), skiing and gymnastics. Five-year old boys can start hockey playing. Tennis and figure skating is available to the kids at the age of five too. Such martial art as wushu is better to begin in the age of four. Nine years old children have a number of the sport opportunities too. They are in biathlon, fencing (even if your child is eleven years old, it is not late to start fencing as well), basketball (as for me, I started playing basketball in the age of thirteen. Anyway they recommend eight or nine years as the best age for it). Volleyball as a professional kind of sport is recommended to those children who turn eight years, but not older than ten. Bicycling can be started with the first three-wheel bicycle, but the professional sport is available to the kids of seven-ten years. Box training is better to begin since twelve-thirteen years.

These recommendations are connected with the physical development and opportunities of a child as a guarantee of sport success and proper sport influence.
