 Course description:The aim of this course is to introduce DNS structured exercise units along with a complete structured exercise series, and to give the practitioner a methodical description and practice of their management. Course objectives include an introduction to the principles of motor control with an emphasis on testing and correction of movement in selected developmental positions and variations. The kinesiological links between individual transitions and tips to correct children performing the exercise sub optimally will be explained. DNA FIT KID exercise units of structured exercise are programmed to keep the children focused for 15-60 minutes. The duration of the lesson varies depending on the purpose and the individual characteristics of the child. At the same time, we strive for the active involvement of children by improving their body perception and awareness. Children are taught how to recognize "correct" and "poor" movement and to learn how to self-correct. The ultimate goal is to improve spontaneous movement of the child. The course is a guide about how to work with children individually or in a group. The course introduces the basic neurophysiological principles of DNA, but the main focus is on practicalities of working with children course participants performing the exercise under the instructor's supervision, as well as workshopping with young children present at the course.
