The conditions of life under which children and adolescents are growing today have changed a lot in recent decades. Children and teenagers have to face multifaceted mental and social burdens. The disappearance of free natural spaces for movement, and the growing use of media and technology, lead to a loss of spatial, social and direct physical-aesthetic experiences. Consequences for children and young people are often expressed as weaknesses in coordination and physical posture, obesity, perception and cognitive impairment, antisocial and aggressive behaviour, reduced physical strength, addiction problems, as well as mental and psychosomatic damage. The aim of this study is to explore the role of movement, play, and sports in promoting health and preventing developmental, psychological, and social challenges among children and adolescents, by identifying how structured physical activities can support their physical, mental, and emotional well-being in the face of modern societal pressures. The method adopted for the study was a review of the bibliography. The study identifies the potential of movement, play and sport to prevent developmental disorders of children and adolescents due to drug use, physical illness, psychosomatic disorders, and psychosocial disorders. In conclusion, offers, in terms of movement, play and sports, should be organised in such a way that children and young people experience success. To achieve this, it is necessary for the teaching and learning method to be individualised and diversified, to offer simplifications and to present achievable and accessible goals.
