Welcome to today’s class!!
We are thrilled to have you in our class!!
In today’s Physical Education Class class, we will be learning about Non-locomotive Movements
Non-locomotive Movements
As we have come to learn from our two previous classes, a movement is an act of change in the position or location of something.
Movement is the natural way of shifting the body from one place to another. Now try shifting yourself from where you are to another. That’s movement!
Some examples of movement are:
- Jogging
- Crawling
- Leaping
- Hopping
- Running
- Walking
On the other hand, Locomotive is the movement of the body from one place to another. The movement can be forward or backward movement.
Examples Of Locomotive Movement include:
- Hopping
- Jumping
- Skipping
- Sliding
- Crawling
- Walking
- Running
- Galloping
As for Non-locomotive movements, they are movements that do not involve traveling from one place to another. There are many examples of non-locomotor movements, which include:
- Bending
- Stretching
- Extending
- Turning
- Raising
- Twisting
- Rotating
- Swinging
- Lifting
- Shaking
- Wiggling
- Pulling
- Dodging
- Pushing
- Swaying
- Flexing
What is an example of a non-locomotor skill?
Examples of non-locomotor skills include:
- A child who stands in place and bends at the waist downward to touch their toes
- A child extending their arms upward as if they were trying to reach the sky
- A child bending their knee upward to march in place
- A child performing a push-up
In summary, movement is the natural way of shifting the body from one place to another.
