The benefits to climbing are endless. Climbing works almost every
major muscle group. They increase upper-body strength, using their
arms and hands or they work their lower body using their legs.
Climbing does more than work the obvious muscle groups. It also
initiates good balance and body control. Climbing aides in problem
solving and challenges the child to improve their memory, due to the
need to remember certain grips and the location of hand and foot
holds. It has been found that children more experienced with certain
movements were better at recalling those movements later. Climbing
also creates an awareness of space and direction by allowing the
child to decide the best path to take to reach the intended
destination. It improves power (strength to reach new heights),
agility (moving from one point to another as quickly as possible),
speed, balance (to stay on the path to the top), and coordination
(Frost, 2005). |
