Additionally, he competes in outdoor obstacle course races. Outdoor obstacle course races are more complex and perhaps more fun than typical races in which a person only has to run, because they involve numerous obstacles and various physical challenges. They are considered excellent activities for children, as they can improve a child’s strength, balance, and coordination. Because competitors have to complete a number of challenges to finish the race, it represents a full-body workout, as each obstacle may require a child or participant to use different muscle groups. This type of race also promotes and enhances problem-solving skills, which are needed in every aspect of life. These races can teach children how to adapt and overcome certain situations and emerge victors. Since children are developing mental strategies and are trying to figure out ways to overcome a challenge as quickly as possible, they can also improve their brain function.
