Topic 3 classfication of movements

• What are the two major classification of movements?

  BASIC LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS AND

  NON-LOCOMOTOR/AXIAL MOVEMENTS
• What are basic locomotor movements?

  those movements that move the body in space in any direction with the feet as the moving base such as:

  walking

  running

  jumping

  hopping
• Basic locomotor movements can be combined with specific patterns for variations, give some:

  skipping

  leaping

  sliding

  galloping
• Walk is? The heel touches?

  an uneven and alternate transfer of body weight from one foot always remaining in contact with the ground. The heel touches the floor first when moving forward
• When moving forward? which comes first? in walking backwards ans sideward which comes first?

  Heels if forward

  Ball of the foot if backwards and sidewards
• What is run?

  Run is an even and alternate transfer of the body weight from one foot to another with the ball of the foot receiving the body weight.
• at one phase of the run, what happens to both feet?

  both feet are off the ground
• Leap


  lifting the body in air from one foot and landing on the other foot in any direction
• Hop


  a spring on one-foot landing and landing on the other foot in any desire direction
• Jump

  A spring on one foot or both feet landing in any direction
• Skip

  a step on one foot and hopping on the same foot in the fast tempo
• Slide


  a modification of the walk in which the sole of the feet is in contact with the floor throughout the movement.
• The slide may be done with alternating movement, one foot leading when moving backward.
• Gallop

  A 'catching up' step in which one foot quickly displaces the other as displaced foot is moved away from it. It is a progressive cut step with one foot leading.
• WHAT ARE BASIC NON-LOCOMOTOR/AXIAL MOVEMENTS

  movements in which the individual stays put in place and moves the torso, arms or the legs or the entire body like pulling, striking, lifting, or swinging
• Examples of non locomotor movements

  Bounces

  stretches

  Swings

  bend

  twist

  circling

  pulls

  push

  lift

  turn
• Bounces are?

  springy movements of a joint from controlled small flexions and extensions within the deep flexion joint.
• bounces develop what?

  flexibility and range of motion
• Stetches are?

  reaching out movements desgined to extend the muscle and joints to their fullest range to develop flexibility, range of motion, and elasticity
• Swings are?

  pendulous movements of the arms or legs from the shoulder or hip joints . Swings start with contraction and carry through the arch of the movement by gravity
• bends are

  flexion of joints
• twist are?

  THe part of the body is allowed to turn around its own axis.
• Circling is

  The distal end of a body part traces or describes a circle while the proximal part is in place
• Pulls are


  a forceful movement made to move an object toward the body most often done with the arms
• push are

  a force movement made to move any object away from the body
• lifts are?

  a movement which raises an object or body part away from one level or another
• Turns are?

  a rotation or circular movement of the bodu parts around its space
• These are movement skills that require an ability to handle an object or piece of equipment with control

  BASIC MANIPULATIVE MOVEMENT/SKILLS
• BASIC MANIPULATIVE MOVEMENT/SKILLS INCLUDE

  kicking

  striking

  dribbling or catching a ball
• BASIC MANIPULATIVE MOVEMENT/SKILLS CAN ALSO be referred to as

  OBJECT CONTROL SKILLS
