Study Notes
Non-Locomotor Movements
- Non-locomotor movements are movements that involve the axis of the body, staying in one place.
- Examples of non-locomotor movements are: bend-straighten, twist-turn, swing-rock, push-pull, curl-stretch, and rise-fall.
- They are essential for developing stability abilities and are referred to as axial movements.
- Non-locomotor movement abilities are basic movements performed while in contact with the ground.
- The development of these movements can improve coordination and motor skills, leading to improved physical performance, and overall fitness.
- Understanding the factors that affect non-locomotor development can be beneficial for educators, parents, and policy makers to properly support the development of these abilities.
Non-Locomotor Movements: Definition and Examples
- Swing is a pendular motion of a body part, moving forward and backward or side to side.
- Twist is a partial rotation of body parts around an axis.
- Turn is a full rotation of the body around a vertical or horizontal axis (full, half, or quarter turns).
- Shake is a short, quick vibrating movement in a body part or the entire body.
- Bend is the flexing of a body part at a joint.
- Stretch is the extending of a body part or the entire body.
- Wiggle is a small or big, fast or slow curvy movement, of a body part or the whole body.
- Rock or sway is the shifting of body weight forward, backward, side to side, or in a circular pathway.
- Bracing the core involves tightening muscles around the abdomen, creating a natural belt to support the spine.
- Dead bug series is a core exercise involving lifting legs and lowering arms and legs alternatively to engage core muscles.
- Bird dog series is a core strengthening exercise involving raising an arm and the opposite leg simultaneously, maintaining core stability.
- Plank series is a core exercise involving holding a plank position while engaging core muscles.
- Squat series involves lowering the body using the legs, engaging multiple muscles groups in the lower body.
- Press up scapular protraction and retraction involves engaging the muscles surrounding the shoulder blades.
Factors Affecting Non-Locomotor Abilities
- Opportunities & Affordances: The presence of specifically designed instructional materials, practice opportunities, and encouragement from educators can influence the development of non-locomotor abilities.
- Limiters & Constraints: Rate limiters, individual constraints, and environmental factors all play a role in the development of non-locomotor abilities.
- Physical Environment: The environment, including the space available, the type of surface, and the presence of obstacles can influence a child's ability to learn and perform non-locomotor movements.
- Individual Factors: Factors such as age, gender, body size, and cognitive abilities can have an impact on the rate at which children develop non-locomotor abilities.
- Instructional Design: Effective instruction that focuses on breakdown of movements, clear demonstrations and clear expectations contributes to successful learning.
