Understanding the 4 Basic Physical Abilities
1. Endurance
Ability to endure an effort for as long as possible.
- Aerobic endurance (marathon, triathlon, soccer) or general resistance.
- Anaerobic resistance (1500m, 3000m, abs).
1.1 Aerobic or Anaerobic Endurance
When work begins, the anaerobic process is triggered, it lasts a couple of minutes. If it is aerobic, it is continuous effort.
1.2 Methods of Work
Methods are based on the race.
- Continuous methods: no interruption of exercise stress (continuous running and fartlek). Continuous run with gentle
Psychomotor Development in Children: Birth to Six Years
Introduction
This theme develops from the fundamental idea that psychomotor skills play a crucial role in child development. Through activity and movement, children build a mental image of their own body, enabling them to understand and interact with their environment.
This document examines psychomotor development up to six years of age, its presence across the three curriculum areas, sensation and perception as sources of knowledge, and their organization. Finally, it discusses our role within appropriate

Effective Physical Activity Programs for Better Health
Key Features of a Health-Focused Activity Program
- Types of Activity: Ideally, include aerobic endurance (3 days/week), resistance training (2 non-consecutive days/week), and flexibility exercises (daily). If combining activities in one session, perform them in that order (aerobic, resistance, flexibility).
- Frequency: Between 3 and 5 days per week.
- Duration: 30 to 60 minutes per session.
- Intensity: Between 55% and 65% of maximum heart rate for aerobic exercise, and an appropriate weight/resistance for
