MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF MOTOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Author: Dr. Abhay Buchha, Dr. Dabir R. Qureshi

It is clear that children and adults who are physically active on a regular basis are healthier than those who are not active. It is also evident from research findings that many children and adults do not regularly take part in physical activities that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. The most evident reasons for lack of physical activities are the lack of exposure at an early age to physical skill development activities. Physical activity does not have the level of importance it deserves.
