It is important for parents to instill in their teenage child the desire to play sports and strengthen the body. Otherwise, it is difficult to count on the full physical development of your own child. The first step towards achieving the goal is to regularly perform special exercises for a teenager. There is a whole set of exercises that are easy to do in the morning and evening. Such actions have a beneficial effect on the development of plasticity and coordination of movements, strengthening the immune system. Exercising makes a teenager disciplined and instills a desire to play sports.
How important is training for a child?
Exercise for a teenager is of decisive importance in physical development. Children aged 12–14 years experience active body growth and changes at the mental level. Puberty occurs. During the period of hormonal transformations, it is important for boys and girls to resort to actions that help strengthen muscles and bones, and train the cardiovascular system.
Gymnastic exercises ensure the fastest adaptation of a child’s not fully formed body to changes. Regular exercise for teenagers 12 years and older makes it possible to feel less tired in the evening. Physical exercises help avoid the occurrence of stagnant processes in the body of schoolchildren who lead a predominantly sedentary lifestyle.
Where to begin?
It is wise to introduce a teenager to physical activity by going for morning or evening jogging with the whole family. A good option would be to perform aerobics and gymnastic exercises at home. Parents should set an example for their child by systematically devoting time to training. You should not stop exercising for a long time. Otherwise, long breaks will not allow the teenager’s body to get stronger. You need to start with light exercises, gradually increasing the load.
Neck warm-up
For teenage girls and boys, exercises should begin with a neck warm-up. The feet are placed shoulder-width apart. The back is held according to its natural curves. Hands are placed on the lower back. Slowly tilt your head to the right and left, back and forth. Perform rotations in a clockwise direction, and then in the opposite direction. During warm-up, try not to throw your head back too much. Otherwise, the risk of injury to the cervical vertebrae increases.
General physical training for children 12-14 years old
General physical training for children 12-14 years old
Physical training is one of the most important factors for further progress in teaching technique and tactics. The characteristics of children 12-14 years old make it possible to specifically influence the development of such qualities as speed, agility, flexibility, strength and coordination.
Approximate list of exercises for general physical training classes;
Walking
– usual at a moderate pace, on toes, on heels, raising knees high, rolling from heel to toe, left-right side from heel to toe (two legs together), on the outer and inner side of the foot, cross step, lunges, back forward and etc.
Run
along straight lines and arcs; snake (with high knees); wide, small steps with overlapping shins; cross step; jumping, slowing down and speeding up; with jumping over obstacles; jumping; with a change in direction; shuttle; raising straight legs forward; starts from various positions backwards; side step; various running combinations.

Bouncing on your toes; on one, on two legs; jumping from foot to foot; jumping from various heights, jumping up and jumping over an obstacle; in length and height from place; with a jump rope, rotating it forward, backward, on two legs, alternately changing legs as you move forward
Exercises to develop speed and agility
All exercises are performed in pairs to maintain a competitive spirit. In running exercises, you can place a ball at the finish line, and the competition for speed and agility will take on a slightly more interesting character - the task of who can get to the ball faster.
A.
Starting position – face forward. At the first signal from the coach, students perform a fast run (“running frequency”) in place; at the second signal, they dash forward 10-15 meters to the finish line. Do 2-3 series 5-7 times, pause between series – 3-5 minutes.
B.
Starting position - turning with your left side, right side or back to the starting line. At the coach’s signal, quickly turn around to face the starting line and make a dash forward 5–15 meters. The same thing only from a sitting position facing forward, with your back, left or right side; lying in support on your hands. Each exercise is performed 3–5 times.
C.
Starting position – left or right side to the starting line. At the first signal - run in place, at the second - turn around to face forward and make a dash 10-15 meters forward to the finish line. Repeat 3-5 times.
D
.
Starting position - children stand at a distance of 50-60 centimeters, facing each other and sideways to the starting line. They start after one of the partners touches the second. The second one’s task is to catch up with the first one at a distance of 10-15 meters and “sully” him. The exercise is performed 4–8 times. Rest pause between repetitions – 1 minute. Exercises to develop strength
Exercises A–D are performed in pairs.
A
. The players stand facing each other, take each other’s hands and try to pull their partner to their half with one hand. Make from 4 to 6 attempts.
B
. Starting position – arms to the sides. One partner puts his hands on the hands of the other and prevents him from raising his hands. The goal is to lower and raise your arms with resistance. Perform 16–20 lifts and lowers.
C
. Starting position – hands on the belt. One partner places his hands on the other's shoulders and puts gentle pressure on them. The goal is to rise on your toes and lower yourself. Perform 20-25 lifts.
D.
Passes and throws of small medicine balls from various starting positions: throws with two hands to the right, two hands to the left, two hands from behind the head. The distance between partners is 6–10 meters. Each exercise is performed 8–14 times.
E.
Push ups. From 20 to 40 times.
Exercises to develop flexibility
The basis of work on developing flexibility is exercises, which, when performed, lengthen the muscles necessary for the athlete to perform any motor actions with the required amplitude. There are two types of such exercises . Dynamic exercises
– these are repeated swinging movements of the arms and legs, flexion, extension, and twisting of the body, which are performed with a large amplitude and different speeds. Examples of such exercises:
• Active free springy bends forward and to the sides with constantly increasing amplitude (15–20 times).
• Swing your left and right legs forward and backward (10–12 times).
• Starting position – feet shoulder-width apart. Bend back, first reaching your right heel with your right hand, then reaching your left heel with your left hand. Do 5-7 bends on each leg. • Starting position – place your feet as wide as possible. Make springy forward bends with your palms on the floor. Perform 10–18 times.
Static exercises
- these are various poses in which a certain muscle or group of muscles is stretched for some time. Examples of such exercises:
• Starting position – feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly lean forward, hang your arms freely and touch the floor with your palms. Bend your legs slightly at the knee joints, grab your toes with your hands, then straighten your knees. Make sure your breathing is even and calm. Hold the pose for 6-12 seconds, then return to the starting position. Repeat 3-5 times with a rest of 5-10 seconds.
• Starting position – sit on the floor, straighten one leg forward, bend the other at the knee joint, and bring the foot to the buttocks. Keep your torso straight. There is a certain stretching of the muscles already in this position, but if the level of flexibility is good, then you can complicate this exercise by tilting the upper body towards the extended leg.
Exercises to develop coordination
Acrobatic exercises
A
. Somersaults in a forward tuck. 3-4 series of 3-5 repetitions.
B
. A forward somersault combined with a 180 degree turn. 1-2 series of 3-5 repetitions.
C.
Tuck back somersault. 3-5 reps. D. Walking and various balance exercises on a balance beam: walking face forward, left and right side, part ways with the oncoming partner. The height of the log is no more than 30-40 centimeters.
Exercises to develop a sense of balance
An integral part of a person’s coordination capabilities is a sense of balance. Equilibrium can be static or dynamic . Static balance
– maintaining the pose for some time (“swallow”, stand on one leg, raised leg pressed to the knee).
Dynamic -
when the athlete leaves the pose and returns to it again.
A.
Walking on a board 10–12 centimeters wide and 4–5 centimeters high, placed on the ground.
B.
Walking on an inclined board of the same dimensions.
C.
Slow, medium and fast circling in place.
D.
Walking on bricks placed at a distance of 15–20 centimeters from each other. E. Easy run on the board with 5-6 360 degree turns
Relay races for coordination and balance
A.
Passing an obstacle course 15 meters long. Two teams are participating. A cone is placed every 5 meters from the starting line (3 cones in total). A narrow board 3-4 meters long is placed from the starting line to the first cone or a thin line is simply drawn on the ground. Two gymnastic mats are laid from the first to the second cone. At the coach’s signal, the starters run along a narrow board or line. Having reached the gymnastic mats, they do 2 somersaults forward. Between the second and third cones, participants make 1-2 360-degree turns in motion, run around the last cone and repeat all exercises in reverse order, and then pass the baton to the next participant. Not only the speed of the distance is recorded, but also the mistakes made. For example, how many times has a student lost his balance while running on a narrow board, after doing 360-degree turns, etc.
B
. The scene is the same obstacle course. The starters move along the board first with their left side (in the opposite direction - with their right side). Between the first and second cones, participants roll forward, turn 180 degrees, do another somersault, and turn 180 degrees again. Between the second and third cones, they run face forward, making 360-degree turns in motion, first over the left shoulder and then over the right, run around the last cone and return to the start line, repeating all tasks.
