MOVEMENT
> Movement and Experience
Movement

• Is the process of any change in the


position of the body (or a body part) in
space, ranging from the ever-so-slight,
such as the involuntary blink of an eye,
to the most strenuous of vigorous
whole-body activities, like sprinting.
• The aim of movement activities is to
enhance cognitive, physical, mental,
and emotional wellbeing. It's
documented that movement
activities stimulate and engage the
brain, improve coordination and
physical abilities, strengthen social
skills, and teach emotional
expression in a healthy way.
The Different Types of
Movement that are
Permitted at Each Joint
Flexion – bending a joint. This occurs
when the angle of a joint decreases.
For example, the elbow flexes when
performing a biceps curl.
Extension – straightening a joint. This
occurs when the angle of a joint
increases, for example, at the elbow
when putting a shot.
Abduction – movement
away from the midline of
the body. This occurs at
the hip and shoulder
joints during a jumping
jack movement.
Adduction – movement
towards the midline of
the body. This occurs at
the hip and shoulder,
returning the arms and
legs back to their original
position from a jumping
jack movement.
Circumduction – this is where
the limb moves in a circle.

Rotation – this is where the limb


moves in a circular movement
around a fixed joint towards or
away from the midline of the
body.
Plantar flexion – pointing the toes –
this movement only occurs at the
ankle, for example, pointing the toes
in ballet.

• Dorsiflexion – the foot moves


towards the shin as if you are
pulling your toes up. This
movement only occurs at the
ankle.
categories of
fundamental
body
movements:
Locomotor movementS

• involve moving the body through space from one


location to another. Examples of locomotor
movements are walking, jumping, climbing, running,
marching, hopping, sliding, skipping, galloping,
leaping, and crawling. Locomotor movements are
important in many sports and recreational activities
as well as dance. Even rhythm locomotor movements
are movements that occur on even beats, like
walking, jumping, and hopping. Uneven rhythm
locomotor movements are movements that occur on
uneven beats like skipping and galloping.
The key locomotor skills are walking, running,
jumping, hopping, crawling, marching,
climbing, galloping, sliding, leaping, hopping,
and skipping.
Non-locomotor movements

• occur when the body moves in place around the


spine or axis of the body. They are anchored
movements and are also called axial movements.
Examples of non-locomotor movements are
bending, flexing, stretching, swinging, twisting,
turning, and swaying. Non-locomotor skills are
foundational for sports like dance, gymnastics
martial arts. Lifting and raising movements like in
arm extensions are examples of non-locomotor
movements.
Types of Non- Locomotor
Bending.Bouncing.Pushing.Rocking.Stretching.
Twisting.Turning.Weight transfer.
Manipulative movements

• movements that involve using a body part to move


an object or item. The hands can be used in
manipulative movements like writing, brushing
teeth, and getting dressed. The feet can be used to
kick in soccer or punt in soccer, football, or rugby.
Many sports involve manipulative
