Often, these stimuli are quite strong in sports, for example you feel your body really well when you run and jump. This lot of stimulation helps kids to learn about their body and how to use it, and to develop a good balance.

This is even more important if you consider that many higher skills like reading or concentration are based on proper integration of these three basic perceptions. If something goes wrong in early childhood, many of these kids face difficulties in school.
