Match the following locomotor movements with their descriptions: Running | Moving on foot with springing steps at rapid pace such that for an instant both feet are off-ground during each step. Galloping | Same procedure as in hopping, but bouncing lightly with alternative steps and hops. Hopping | Springing and taking off with one foot and landing on both feet. Leaping | Moving at moderate pace on feet, lifting one foot only after the other foot has touched the floor or ground. Jumping | Springing on one foot and landing on the same foot. Skipping | Springing on one foot and landing on the other foot. Walking | Moving in continuous forward or sideward direction with one foot leading.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match different locomotor movements with their corresponding descriptions. Each locomotor movement is defined by a specific action related to the movement of feet, and our task is to identify which description corresponds to which movement.
Answer
Running: Rapid pace with feet off-ground briefly. Galloping: Step and hop on same foot. Hopping: Spring and land on same foot. Leaping: Spring on one foot, land on the other. Jumping: Spring from one/both feet to both feet. Skipping: Alternate steps and hops. Walking: Move at moderate pace.
Running is moving on foot with springing steps at a rapid pace such that for an instant, both feet are off the ground. Galloping involves a step with one foot followed by a hop on the same foot, landing on both feet. Hopping is springing on one foot and landing on the same foot. Leaping involves springing on one foot and landing on the other foot. Jumping is transferring weight from one or both feet to both feet. Skipping is the same as hopping but with alternating steps and hops. Walking is moving at a moderate pace, lifting one foot only after the other foot has touched the ground.

More Information
Locomotor movements are essential for various activities and improve coordination and balance. These movements form the basis for complex motions in sports and dance.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing hopping with jumping. Ensure you distinguish between landing on the same foot for hopping and landing on both feet for jumping.
