In the definition of sports training that Harre gave, the concept of preparation for high and maximum sports performance appears, always inadequate to the sphere of childhood; in the definition of sports training given by Matwejew, the concept of "preparation by loading physical ": the motor activity carried out in childhood must be maintained in a playful dimension. The child is not yet able to bear the stress of a physical load, therefore even if one wishes to consider training in this way, it is not fits the baby. Even in the last definition of Harre, which I cited, the same characters of one of the previous ones appear again, therefore the training intended in this way, also does not suit the child. It is therefore clear that the word "training", however it is intended, is not adequate to define what should be the physical activity practiced by children who are the same age as those in the sample I have considered. It is therefore necessary to use the "expression" youth preparation ", understood as" the "set of interventions aimed above all at achieving a good state of physical health and an adequate and harmonious functional development, but aiming at the same time to build in the young, future athlete, broad and solid motor bases, which enable him to face a subsequent sporting activity, even intense and at a high level (Spagolla; Bortoli) ". Understood in this way, the practice of the child's physical activity must be such as to guarantee the presence, in a perfect measure, of intensity and quantity of work. Now, taking into consideration the fact that intensity and quantity of work must be inversely proportional to the "one to the other, the problem that arises at this point is how to distribute one and the other in the preparation program. Both components of youth preparation must not be overlooked while designing the program, as it has been shown that, even if it is not possible to speak of real training, if these components are neglected and a "motor activity is carried out in a very mild form, it is not possible to obtain the results that are set for oneself when studying the program and which have been expressed by giving the definition of youth preparation. In order for the above objectives to be achieved, it is necessary that "work based on quantity precedes work of intensity, since by stabilizing and consolidating the improvements acquired, it allows to carry out a more demanding activity" and obtain further improvements. In the age group between 10 and 14 years, which represents a basic construction period, an activity based above all on the quantity of the load will predominate, with the aim of helping to assist and enhance the development that conditional skills naturally have for growth and maturation. In fact, in this period, precisely due to the physiological maturation of the "organism, even a work mainly based on quantity is able to determine significant improvements in skills (Spagolla; Bortoli)". In Italian elementary schools, the maximum effective time dedicated to the practice of physical education (compulsory) does not exceed one hour, fifteen minutes per week, this time insufficient to obtain those benefits in the child guaranteed exclusively by the amount of motor activity. Increasing the hours of compulsory physical education practice in elementary schools would be a particularly valuable idea especially in schools where, as in the school where the children I have submitted the questionnaire study, the lessons are full-time rather than normal time: most of the children who attend primary school full-time say they are satisfied, happy with this type of organization due to the fact that, in this way, they have less homework to do; evidently children prefer to stay in school for longer during the day than they would have to if they were to attend classes at normal time, as long as they have less homework to do. practicing additional hours of physical education without the workload becoming too heavy.
