Postural stability and praxis are integral to how people support their bodies and move their bodies efficiently. Praxis requires a high degree of cognitive engagement and attention, although this becomes more automatic as skills are acquired. Students are always changing up games to keep them exciting and stimulating, so learning new rules and motor aspects of these games also requires ideation and motor planning.
