    Review of basic

    movements

    LOCOMOTOR AND NON-


    LOCOMOTOR
    Locomotor Movements
    These are movements that
    allow the body to move from
    one point in space to another.
    It is canned from two words,
    “locos” which means place
    and “motor” which means
    movement.
    Step
    This is the basis of all locomotor
    movements. It prepares you to move in
    any direction you wish to go. It is defined
    as transfer of weight from one foot to the
    other. Try one! Stand with your weight
    equally distributed to both of your feet.
    Now, let your right foot carry it all. You
    got it! That’s what you call a step.
    Walk
    Series of steps executed by both of
    your feet alternately in any direction.
    In executing a walk, observe that
    there’s this moment when both feet
    are in contact with the ground while
    one foot supports the weight and
    transfers it to the other.
    Run
    Series of walks executed
    quickly in any direction
    wherein only one foot stays on
    the ground while the other is
    off the ground.
    Jump
    This movement is
    simply described by
    having both feet lose its
    contact with the ground.
    There five ways to do the jump
    Take off from one foot and land on the same;
    Take off from one foot and land on the other;
     Take off from one foot and land on both feet;
    Take off from both feet and land on one foot;
     Take off from both feet and land on both.
    Non-Locomotor movements

    These are movements that are


    done in one point in space
    without transferring to another
    point. They don’t allow you to
    move from one place to the
    other.
    Flexion
    It is the act of decreasing the angle of a
    joint. Another term for flexion is to
    bend. If you bend a joint, like your
    elbow or knee, you are performing
    flexion.
    Extension
    This is the opposite of flexion.
    You are extending if you are
    increasing the angle of a
    joint. Stretching is another
    word for extension
    Contraction
    Amuscle movement done
    when it shortens, narrows
    and tightens using
    sufficient amount of
    energy in the execution.
    Release
    A muscle movement
    opposite to contraction
    done when it let goes or let
    looses of being held into
    a shortening movement
    Collapse
    To deliberately drop
    the exertion of energy
    into a body segment.
    Recover
    The opposite of collapse.
    This is to regain the energy
    exerted into a body
    segment.
    Rotation
    To rotate is to move a body
    segment allowing it to complete a
    circle with its motion. It’s not
    only limited to circumduction
    which is done in ball and socket
    joints. Rotation can also be done
    in wrists, waist, knees and
    ankles
    Twist
    To move a body segment from
    an axis halfway front or back
    or quarter to the right or left
    as in the twisting of the neck
    allowing the head to face
    right or left and the like.
    Pivot
    To change the position of
    the feet or any body part
    that carries the body’s
    weight allowing the body to
    face in a less than 360
    degrees turn.
    Turn
    To move in a turning
    movement with a base of
    support, usually a pointed
    foot, the other raised, while
    equilibrium is maintained until
    the completion of the turn.
