Motor development in early childhood:
The period of early childhood starts from 3rd year and continues till 6th year. The motor development during this period takes place rapidly. This stage is also known as the preschool years. In this period, a child becomes perfect in various fundamental movements such as running, jumping and throwing and acquires the ability to unite or combine these movements. In this period, children's stride length increases and they develop a more mature running pattern. During this period, proficiency in climbing on ladders becomes efficient. They can hop and gallop skillfully.
The motor development at the end of early childhood achieves a satisfactory level. So, the systematic training of children in various sports such as gymnastics and swimming can be started because their basic movements like rolling, hanging, pushing, pulling, etc., become efficient. They can combine these movements efficiently under changing and difficult conditions. They become efficient in various movement combinations such as running and jumping, catching and throwing, running and throwing, etc. Thus, they become efficient in all such movements but still competitions at this stage should be avoided.
