Abstract

This work seeks to contribute to research on the holistic value of motor activity for three to eleven year old children, which is recognised as essential to their development. Motor activity shapes personality, helps define self-perception and self-esteem, and contributes to harmony of body and mind and to a higher quality of life. Physical activity encourages the development of all aspects of the human being, cognitive, emotional and social, throughout our entire lives, from birth into old age, with the end result of permanent and sustained growth towards “WELL-BEING”.
