ACTIVITY 4: THINK AND SHARE
Directions: Read and understand the concepts
below. You can raise questions that you want to
clarify where students and teacher must collaborate
in this part.
Core Training
Core training is considered as the strengthening and
conditioning of the core muscles surrounding the
mid-section of our body—the abdomen, hips, pelvis,
and lower back. These muscles wrap and protect
the spine which is responsible for stabilizing and
balancing the body during movement. And also,
core training refers to core stabilization or balance
training.
Fundamental Movement Skills
The Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are
some of the most common actions from
childhood to adulthood.
FMS consists of three skills groups that define
physical literacy which are the non-locomotor,
locomotor, and manipulative skills.
A. Non-Locomotor
Any movement that does not travel, but uses the available space in any direction
or movement organized around the axis of the body (axial movement); bending,
twisting, stretching, and swinging is an examples of axial movement.
Ex. Stretching, twisting, squats, lunge, balancing.
B. Locomotor
Locomotor movement skills are those in which the body is moved in one
direction, or a combination of directions, from one point to another. Activities
such as walking, jogging, moving forwards, backward, side-shuffling, skipping,
running, jumping, hopping, and leaping are considered fundamental locomotion
movements.
C. Manipulative
Manipulative movements are movements that involve the use of a body part
like hands or feet to move or manipulate an item. Manipulative movements can
include gross motor skills, like kicking or bouncing a ball, or fine motor skills, like
writing or coloring. Manipulative motor skills are often important in sports.
Assessments of Physical Activity and Readiness
Besides your movement skills competency, checking your
current levels of activity and fitness is crucial to determine the
readiness of your body for physical activities.
Most of the Assessments being done are the PAR-Q where the
results of this test will determine if you have a medical
problem and need to address it as soon as possible.
This assessment will be done before participating in the fitness
test or any physical activity.
