Lesson 1 Flashcards
Is the process of any change in the position of the body (or a body part) in space, ranging from the ever-so-slight, such as the involuntary blink of an eye, to the most strenuous of vigorous whole-body activities, like sprinting.
MOVEMENT
Are basic body movements that serve as the foundational building blocks upon which more complicated physical movements are built. Locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative movements are three types of movements completed by the body.
Fundamental Body Movements
Involve moving the body through space from one location to another.
Locomotor Movements
Occur when the body moves in place around the spine or axis of the body.
Non-Locomotor Movements
Are movements that involve using a body part to move an object or item.
Manipulative Movements
Is simply, the study of the human movement. Also called as, biomechanics and kinesiology, it applies the popular principles of engineering and physics to basic human movement. _ training occurs when appropriate body movement is applied in correcting and preventing poor posture, reducing stress on ligaments, tendons and joints and in enhancing physical capabilities.
