Title: Improving physical activity levels in primary schools: Slackline Training education strategy

Abstract: Physical education (PE) can be considered the focus of cognitive and social physical literacy (PL) school programs. In primary school, the PL of children is fundamental, both to raise levels of motivation, confidence and competence and to educate an active lifestyle. Slacklining (SLK) is based on the use of a support band, stretched between two solid fixed supports, which stimulates the balance of the body and provides a high variability of movement. The article proposes situations of SLK with which to increase levels of physical activity to expand curriculum planning, in primary school, and offer children educational experiences in which to solicit both psycho-motor and motivational and social aspects. In other words, it is about involving children, through engaging and fun proposals, in the acquisition of an active lifestyle that will last even in later ages.

Title: Migliorare i livelli di attività fisica nelle scuole primarie: Slackline Training come strategia educativa

Abstract: L'educazione fisica (PE) può essere considerata il fulcro di programmi scolastici di alfabetizzazione fisica (PL) cognitiva e sociale. Nella scuola primaria è fondamentale la PL dei bambini, sia per elevare i livelli di motivazione, fiducia e competenza sia per educare uno stile di vita attivo. Lo slacklining (SLK) si basa sull'uso di una fascia di appoggio, tesa tra due solidi sostegni fissi, che sollecita l'equilibrio del corpo e fornisce una elevata variabilità di movimento. L' articolo propone situazioni di SLK con cui aumentare i livelli di attività fisica per ampliare la pianificazione curricolare, nella scuola primaria, e offrire ai bambini esperienze educative in cui sollecitare sia gli aspetti psico-motori sia quelli motivazionali e sociali. In altre parole, si tratta di coinvolgere i bambini, attraverso proposte coinvolgenti e divertenti, nell'acquisizione di uno stile di vita attivo che perduri anche nelle età successive.
