Motor activity as a basis for the formation of schoolchildren's stress resistance

The paper emphasizes that during the period of active psychophysiological development, physical activity plays an important role in maintaining emotional stability, adaptation to stress, and overall physical health of schoolchildren. That is why it is necessary to introduce effective methods of physical education aimed at reducing stress, improving the psycho-emotional state and increasing the overall resistance of the body to negative environmental factors. The scientific literature is analyzed. The positive effect of physical activity on the stress resistance of school-age children is confirmed. Among the effective methods are aerobic programs, dance classes, yoga, breathing practices, and participation in team games. Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce cortisol levels (a stress hormone), improve cardiovascular endurance, and develop self-regulation skills. It has been proven that playing sports in childhood improves cognitive abilities, healthy behavioral habits and emotional regulation.
