Conclusions and perspectives Human life and motion cannot be viewed separately. Children are born to move and are spontaneously active in early life. Health and development of children at early ages depend on physical activity and movement possibilities. This important understanding is characterized by the fact that more and more research is focused on studying different aspects of children’s movement within the scientific world.
