Small-Group Physical Function Sports Class Begins On-Site Instruction for Shinjuku Youth Sports Program

Life & Sports Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Toshimitsu Yamanoi) is scheduled to handle the on-site exercise instruction for the child-oriented sports project 'Regas Shinjuku Elementary School Sports Class' implemented by the Shinjuku Future Creation Foundation.

In this initiative, we will utilize the instruction methods cultivated in our small-group sports class 'Physical Function Sports Class (Karaspo)' to provide a program where children can acquire basic athletic abilities while having fun.

### Background of the Initiative
In recent years, the decline in children's opportunities for exercise and physical strength has been pointed out, and there is a demand for enriched sports opportunities not only in school physical education but also within the local community.

In response to this situation, the Shinjuku Future Creation Foundation plans to implement sports programs where local children can move their bodies safely.

Life & Sports Co., Ltd. operates the 'Physical Function Sports Class' in Bunkyo-ku and has been providing exercise instruction tailored to children's developmental stages. Through this initiative, we will contribute to creating exercise opportunities for local children by leveraging the instructional know-how gained from our classroom operations.

### Features of the Instruction Program
The program provides lessons centered on elements considered important for children's motor development, allowing them to move their bodies while having fun.

1. **Acquisition of Basic Movements**: Incorporating basic actions that should be acquired during a child's growth process, such as running, jumping, and throwing, to develop body usage as a foundation for exercise.
2. **Improvement of Coordination Ability**: Incorporating exercises that enhance the linkage between the brain and body, such as rhythm, balance, and reaction, to foster the ability to move the body as intended.
3. **Balancing Fun and Growth**: Providing a program where children can enjoy exercise by combining introductory game elements like tag with circuit training and ball exercises.

### Lesson Structure (Example)
Based on a 60-minute lesson, it will be conducted as follows:
- Introduction (games like tag)
- Warm-up (stretching)
- Circuit training
- Original exercise program
- Summary exercise like jump rope
Through these activities, we aim for children to naturally enhance their athletic ability while feeling the joy of moving their bodies.
