Abstract
The elementary skills that create complex physical literacy of preschool age, are the basis for more complex motor skills, used often for life. Sufficient physical literacy, not only in terms of number of skills, but also in terms of the quality level of their technical mastery, then determines the possibility of effective use movement to promote health and maintain an active lifestyle.
Genetically acquired fundamental motor schemes are implemented in postnatal development of postural development framework functions and enrich the experience gained by new learning. The motor learning must be based on the neurophysiological, kinesiological and psychological principles of development and unconditionally respect the individual variability in psychomotor development of each child.
It will be appreciated that the basal physical performance such as running, if not professionally corrected, in most children and adults can be very inefficient and make significantly overloading with negative consequences for the musculoskeletal system. As an example of skills that the child is not able to learn at an early age without significant help from a parent or an instructor with controlled motor learning are swimming skills and swimming locomotion.
