Physical Education Flashcards
Body awareness is called ___ which is how the body senses the parts of itself.
Proprioception
Instruction in concepts of how the body can form different shapes.
Shape
Instruction in concepts of balance of the body.
Balance
Instruction in the concepts of speed, contrast, force, and relaxation.
Quality
Instruction in concepts of sharing space with others.
Space
Instruction in the concepts of moving over, under, around, and through, and leading with certain body parts.
Exploring
___are basic movement skills that are performed in different directions and at different speeds. They are dynamic movements that propel the body upward, forward, or backward.
Locomotor Skills
What are the four locomotor skills?
- Jumping
- Skipping
- Galloping
- Sliding
Creates activity-specific muscle strength and agility. Requires the body to leap with both feet and to land with both feet. Knees should be bent, the order of impact is usually the balls of the feet followed by the heels.
Jumping
Is a series of step-hops completed with alternate feet.
Skipping
Is a forward directional movement. As the lead foot steps forward, the back foot steps up to meet the lead foot.
Galloping
Is accomplished by movement on one side of the body. It is a one-count movement; as the leading foot steps to the side, the other foot quickly follows.
Sliding
Is perhaps the most valuable of all non-locomotor movements. Its movements carries body parts away from the body’s center core and moves joints and muscles through a range of movements.
Stretching
Are often referred to as static movements because they are passive movements performed while standing in place. Movements are executed by twisting, turning in place, bending, swaying while moving toward or away from the body center.
Non-locomotor movements
What are the three non-locomotor movements?
- Stretching
- Twisting
- Pushing
Is the rotation of a body part around its own long axis, such as turning the head on its neck or wrapping the arms around the body. Involves movement around a body part, and the focal point of turning is on the space in which the body is moving.
Twisting
Is a controlled, forcefully action performed against an object. It moves the body away from the object while applying force. Students should exert force with steady, even, controlled effort.
Pushing
Skills are complex motor patterns that are basic to specialized sports and are performed with some kind of object. Requires hand-eye or foot-eye coordination.
Object Manipulation Skills
What are the four object manipulation skills?
- Throwing
- Catching
- Kicking
- Striking
Requires an object to be propelled into space. Movement force originates from flexing the hip and moving the shoulder forward while extending the elbow.
Throwing
Involves using the hands to stop and control a moving object. It is more difficult for children to learn to ___than to throw because tracking the object requires mature hand-eye coordination.
Catching
Is a striking action performed by the feet.
Kicking
When a basketball is thrown toward a basket.
Newton’s first law
To illustrate this concept of force students can sit in a chair while trying to throw a basketball into a hoop.
