Study Notes
Loco-motor Movements
- Refers to body movements that involve traveling through space from one location to another.
- Walk: A transfer of weight between feet, typically with the heel touching first.
- Jump: Involves springing both feet into the air simultaneously.
- Run: Similar to walking, but involves air propulsion, with the body suspended between steps.
- Hop: Jumping on one foot and landing on both feet.
- Leap: A forceful springing motion using significant muscular energy or external force.
- Skip: Alternating between hopping and landing on the other foot, characterized as a playful motion.
- Gallop: A combination of stepping and leaping, creating a rhythmic movement where one foot leads and the other follows closely.
- Slide: Gliding one foot forward or sideways, followed by the other foot, alternating the motion.
Non-locomotor Movements
- Involves body movements that occur in place, without traveling through space.
- Swing: A swaying motion of a body part (hips, head, arms) in a circular 180-degree motion.
- Twist: Rotating body parts around an axis while keeping the base stationary (e.g., neck, waist).
- Turn: A rotational motion of the body around its axis or a specific joint.
- Shake: Quick, short movements of a body part either up and down or forward and backward.
- Bend: Changing a body part from straight to curved, decreasing the angle between two entities.
- Stretch: Straightening a body part or increasing the angle between two entities, opposite of bending.
- Wiggle: Side-to-side movements or shaking back and forth in small or fast motions.
- Rock or Sway: Gentle movements side to side, as well as forward and backward.
