process of any change in the position of the body (or o body part) space, ranging from the ever so slight. such as the involuntary blink of an eye. to the most strenuous of vigorous whole-body like
Movement
These are basic body movements that serves as the foundational building blocks which more complicated physical movements are built.
Fundamental body movements
Occurs when you launch yourself into the air using one foot and land on both feet.
Jumping
A person moves slowly or quickly with both feet off the ground at the same time. Technique land on the heel of the foot, roll your foot forward and bend the knee slightly lean forward.
Running
When you do this, you take off and land on the same foot and you are momentarily airborne.
hopping
Slide step you step sideways with one foot, then pull other foot beside the first.
Sliding
requires you to takeoff from one foot and land on the other foot and its like taking a long step or stride in the air.
Leaping
A combination of walking step and hop. Is often combined with jumping or leaping in games and sports. Technique keep your feet close to the ground, combine one walking step and a hop with the opposite
Skipping
A forward slide stepping. Step forward and bring the back foot to the front foot. Technique same as slide stepping. With both keep knees bent and feet apart to remain stable
galloping
Categories of locomotor
even rhythm
uneven rhythm
Equal, unvarying actions.
even rhythm
unequal actions. Also, incorporate alternating actions
uneven rhythm
Occur when the body moves in place around the spine or axis of the body, they are anchored movements and are also called axial movements.
Non-Locomotor Movements
moving the muscles around a joint where two body parts meet
Bending or Flexing
done by straightening or extending any part of the body from the joints
Stretching or extending
Elevating a part of the body, usually for the arms and legs,
Raising or lifting
done by moving a part of the body around axis.
Rotating or encircling
Pendular movement below an axis.
Swinging
pendular movement above an axis.
Swaying
Movements that involve using a body part to move an object or item.
Manipulative movements
Examples of manipulative movements
brushing
throwing
kicking
drawing
hitting
WHY THESE THREE MOVEMENTS
ARE IMPORTANT?
Important In developing self-care skills, as well as completing sports and recreational activities
Is the relative disposition of the body at any one moment, is a composite of the positions of the different joints of the body at that time.
Posture
TWO TYPES OF POSTURE
Inactive Posture
active Posture
These are postures or attitudes adopted for resting or sleeping. They require theoretically minimal muscle activity, and are usually assumed in need of relaxation.
Inactive Posture
The integrated action of many muscles is required to maintain postures
active Posture
Two types of active posture
Dynamics posture
Static Posture
In this type of posture body segments are moving. it is usually required to form an efficient basis for movement. Muscles and non contractile structures have to work to adapt for changing circumstances.
Dynamics posture
Body segments are aligned and maintained in a fixed positions. This is usually achieved by co-ordination and interaction of various muscle groups which are working statically to counteract gravity and other forces.
Static Posture
The position in which minimum stress is applied to each joint.
Correct posture
Keep your knees at or below the level of your hips. Don’t cross your legs. Your ankles should be in front of your knees. Keep a small gap between the back of your knees and the front of your seat.
Good sitting posture
Any static position that increases the stress to the joints
faulty posture
Effects of Bad Posture on Our Body
Soreness and Pain
Poor Circulation
Poor Breathing
Less Motivation
Poor Digestion
Fatigue
EXAMPLES OF FAULTY POSTURE/
DEFORMITIES
Kyphosis
Sway back posture
Forward head posture
Lordotic posture
Flat back posture
Scoliosis
An increased convex curve observed in the thoracic or sacral regions of the spine.
Kyphosis
The pelvis remains level, but the hip joint is pushed forward of the posture line. The hip is effectively extended, lengthening the hip flexors, and the body ‘hangs’ on the hip ligaments.
Sway back posture
Describes the shift of the head forward with the chin poking out. It is caused by increased flexion of the lower cervical spine and upper thoracic spine with increased extension of the upper cervical spine and extension.
Forward head posture
refers to the normal inward curvature of the spine. When this curve is exaggerated it is usually referred to as hyper-lordosis. The pelvis is usually tilted anteriorly.
Lordosis posture
In this type of posture, there is forward head, extension of the cervical spine, extension of the thoracic spine, loss of lumbar lordosis and posterior pelvic tilt
Flat back posture
anabnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It is most often diagnosed in childhood or early adolescence.
Scoliosis
