O jogo como metodologia no treinamento esportivo infantil: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

In children's sports training, there is a transition period from initiation to more specialized practice training. It is in this transition process that care must be taken as to how the training is handled, as we are not dealing with fully developed individuals, but with individuals in development, both physiologically and socially and psychologically. The objective of this study was to carry out a literature review analyzing the contribution of using the game as a methodology in children's sports training. The Game, being one of the study contents of Physical Education, is a playful activity with established rules capable of developing technical, cognitive and social skills, thus being an efficient pedagogical tool. The study methodology consists of bibliographical, descriptive research of a qualitative nature. The study searches were delimited by descriptors and carried out in the Scielo and Lilacs databases, and the temporal scope of the studies corresponded to the years 2000 to 2024. The results of the reviewed articles elucidated that the application of games as a pedagogical method contributes strongly to training of sporting practices, for its playful nature and for promoting the development of creativity and autonomy, having an organizational structure that allows the various necessary skills to be dealt with in a dynamic and complete way.
