In the first part of this period of movement development, which covers the age of 7 to 10, children are always ready to move. However, at this stage, the aim of achievement is not typical yet; that develops only by the end of this period. The motor learning skills are very effective in this period; children are capable of acquiring a great many new movements at an adequate level, the precision and economy of movements improve. In the course of the development of movement learning skills, a process of differentiation develops, when the characteristic sport techniques develop from the basic forms of movement.
In this period of children’s development, playfulness and games are very important, through which monotone trainings can be avoided.
