CORE STABILITY TRAINING: LOCOMOTOR AND NON LOCOMOTOR Flashcards
is essential for overall strength, balance, and injury prevention.
Core Stability
Integrating _________ exercises into fundamental movement skills can help improve your functional fitness and enhance your performance in various activities.
core stability exercises
is defined as “movement where the body travels through space from one location to another.”
Locomotor movement
“movement that moves around the axis of the body (the spine) rather than movement which takes the body through space.”
Non-locomotor movement
Using both feet to move forward by steps.
walking
Using both feet in a generally faster speed, one foot must be off the ground at any given time while performing this activity.
running
The body must push off from one or both feet in performing a jump and then land on both feet. This can be done either vertically or horizontally
jumping
Unlike the jump, hopping requires the body to push off using one foot only and landing on the same foot.
hopping
The person takes off using one foot, covering a large distance and land on the ground using the other foot. This can be preceded with a walk or run.
leaping
A combination of a step and a hop where the person steps forward with a foot and hops using the same foot while bringing the other foot forward to step and hop and switch.
skipping
forward movement that starts with one foot forward bent at the knee and pushing off from the ground before landing on the position of the other foot.
galloping
This movement is done by stepping to the side or forward or backward with one foot and then closing the distance by sliding the other foot towards the former.
sliding
Non-locomotor abilities/ movement are sometimes referred to as
axial movement
are essential body movements that do not include traveling. They are stability abilities that include movements of limbs or body parts, and sometimes even the whole body.
Non-locomotor abilities/ movement
It is pendular motion of a body part that can move forward and backward or side to side
swing
Is a partial rotation of body parts around an axis
twist
It is a short quick vibrating movement in a body part or the whole body.
shake
is a flex of a body part at a joint
bend
s a full rotation of the body around a vertical or horizontal Full, half or Quarter turns
turn
Extending a body part or the whole body.
stretch
A small or big, fast or slow curvy movement of a body body part or the whole body.
wiggle
to shift of the body weight forward, backward, side to side or in a circular pathway.
rock or sway
We tighten all the muscles surrounding the abdomen, As we contract the abdominal muscles, the erector spinae muscles proximately go into joint action and support the back from the rear. In other words, we create a natural belt or girdle that soothes and protects the spine with muscle co-contraction.
bracing the core
Lift your legs so your knees are straight over your hips. On an exhale, slowly lower your right arm and left leg until they’re just above the floor. On an inhale, bring them back to the starting position. Repeat on the opposite side.
