Coordination is the motor skill that adjusts and doses the overall muscular effort in space and time. In this way, the action will be performed with maximum efficiency and minimum energy expenditure. The development of coordination depends on age (it is at its peak between 7 and 12 years old) and it increases in response to external stimuli. To achieve good coordination is therefore necessary to diversify physical activities in adolescence and to pay attention to the quality, not the quantity, of the exercises carried out.
