Effects of Recreational Activities Nautical Sports in Leisure on the Strengthening of Motor Skills in Children of School Age

Abstract

As children grow, motor performance develops. Motor performance skills allow children to process information in the effective management of specific tasks. Although children develop motor skills in a variety of physical activities, it may still be easy to achieve when engaging in voluntary activities according to their interests and pleasures. In this sense, the nautical activity, based on the navigation with the canoeing and standup paddle on smooth waters, offers the possibility to the children to relax and to play in the same measure in safe conditions, without rules of constraint and limitation of the capacity of expression and initiative.
