RESEARCH AND ARTS

Basic movement patterns are the forms of movement that children acquire during their childhood and form the basis for the acquisition of sport-specific movements.

The project aims to provide support in the design of training programmes for the acquisition of fundamental movement patterns in childhood. Objectives:

1. to develop various training programmes for the development of basic movement patterns,
2. to test the effectiveness of the training programmes using empirical data; and
3. to provide the means to systematically monitor the development of fundamental movement patterns in young children.

The programme was made possible thanks to co – funding from the Sports Foundation.
