Teaching - Learning Module in Pe 1

Locomotor movements allow the body to travel through space and involve the feet, such as walking, running, hopping, and jumping. Non-locomotor movements occur in the body without traveling, like bending, stretching, and twisting. The document provides examples and descriptions of common locomotor skills like walking, skipping, and sliding and non-locomotor skills such as swaying, shaking, and pushing.

LOCOMOTOR AND NON-LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS

Locomotor Movements - These are movements where the body travels through space from
one location to another. Locomotor movements primarily use the feet for support however,
the body can travel on other parts such as the hands and feet.
Non-Locomotor Movement - These are movements that occur in the body parts or the whole
body and do not cause the body to travel to another space.  However, non-locomotor
movements can be combined with locomotor movements such as a walk and arm swing.

Locomotor movement examples


The locomotor skills include: walking, running, skipping, galloping, hopping, jumping,
sliding, walking backwards, leaping and rolling.
1) A walk is a slow locomotor skill where one foot is always on the ground. As the left
foot is on the ground the right foot is in the air moving forward. Then the right foot
makes contact with the heal first as the left foot moves forward in the air.

2) A run is a faster locomotor skill. During a run, the feet are both in the air at the same
time. The feet alternate moving forward during the skill.

3) Skipping is a locomotor skill that requires the students to alternate their motion from
the left side to the right and then continue to alternate from left to right. Students can
help learning the skills by using the phrases "Step on a Bug, Hop on a Frog." The
students will step with their left foot, then hop on their left foot, then step on their
right foot and then hop on their right foot. This will continue alternating from the left
to the right for the entire time of skipping.

4) Galloping is a skill that can be performed with either foot as the lead. One foot is
placed in front of the opposite foot. The front foot takes a large step forward while the
second foot stays in place. The back foot then takes a step forward but always stays
behind the front foot.

5) Hopping is a one footed skill. Students stand on one foot and will hop with the one
foot. The opposite foot is bent at the knee and trailing behind the back of the student.

6) Jumping is a two footed skill. Students will stand with both feet together and will
jump with both feet together. The students should work on using their knees as shock
absorbers so that they can protect themselves from injury.

7) A slide is a sideways movement. The students will move to their right or their left
with the appropriate shoulder leading the direction of the slide. If they are moving to
the left, the left shoulder will be leading the motion. The left foot will reach out to the
left side to take a step. The right foot will then take a step next to the left foot.
Students should be taught not to touch their shoes during this skill as it can cause
them to trip.

8) Walking backwards is a slow movement. The students will need to turn their heads
to watch where they are going. Students should be instructed to step one foot directly
behind the opposite foot to move themselves backward.

9) A leap is when a student leaves the ground off of one foot (i.e. left foot) and will land
on the opposite foot (i.e. right foot). Think of having a student run and leap over a
hurdle during a race.

10) A roll is a complete rotation of the body that is usually made on the ground.

Non-locomotor movement examples


The locomotor skills include: bending, stretching, lifting, twisting, rotating, swinging,
swaying, shaking, dodging and pushing.
1. Bending - is moving the muscles around a joint where two body parts meets. It is the
form of bending a body from straight to curve position.
2. Stretching - it is done by extending the body from the joints.
3. Lifting - it is done by raising up your body. It is also good for the legs and arms.
Usually, it uses heavy objects to lift both arms.
4. Twisting - moving around the body. It is done by rotating the body parts around the
axis while the base is not changing its condition. It is usually good for head and body.
5. Rotating - moving or rotating the part of the body around axis.
6. Swinging - is a movement below an axis. It could be movements of the body part
forward and backward or side to side.
7. Swaying - is a movement above an axis.
8. Shaking - a short or quick vibrating movement of the body.
9. Dodging - involves quick, deceptive changes in direction to evade, chase or flee from
an opponent. When dodging, knees are bent and the body shifts rapidly in a sideways
direction.
10. Pushing - forceful action that moves an object away from the body.
