Study Notes
Fundamental Movements
- Locomotor Movements: Involve moving the body from one location to another or projecting the body upwards (e.g., walking, running).
- Non-Locomotor Movements: Occur without significant displacement from a fixed position; include movements of various body parts (e.g., bending, twisting).
- Manipulative Movements: Involve handling objects and apparatus, combining physical movement with tools (e.g., throwing, catching).
Factors That Affect Movement
- Psychological Factors: Emotions such as fear and anxiety can impact movement performance, leading to either enhancement or impairment.
- Physiological Factors: Physical fitness and body structure are crucial; poor muscle development and fitness level negatively affect overall movement ability.
- Sociological Factors: The performer’s relationship with the group influences movement, shaped by social conformity and norms.
Elements of Space
- Direction: Encompasses movement in various ways including forward, backward, upward, downward, sideways, and circular motions.
- Level: Movement can be classified into high, medium, and low levels, reflected by positions such as standing, sitting, or kneeling.
- Range: Refers to the maximum reach or personal space involved in movement; indicative of the size of movement.
- Pathways: The design created by the movement through space, such as circles made by arm movements or paths taken during running.
- Focus: Involves the direction of movement in relation to an object or individual, influencing the attention and intention behind the action.
