​
Here are a few of the benefits of obstacle courses.
-
It makes them stronger and enhances their sense of balance at a young age.
-
Obstacle courses help children become problem solvers as they learn how to run, climb, and move through a course. They also learn how to adjust to changing conditions and memorize the faster and better ways to run a course.
-
Children experience deep pressure sensory input (also known as proprioception) as they pull themselves up a climbing wall. They encounter linear (up and down), sagittal (side to side), and rotary (spinning) inputs as they run through the obstacle course.
-
Fine and gross motor skill development is important during childhood development. Fine motor skills help children learn how to hold a pencil or grip small objects. Gross motor skills help children walk, run, jump, and climb.
-
Complex coordination involves moving separate body parts at the same time to complete a task. Obstacle courses provides opportunities for children to develop bilateral coordination.
