Quiz 3: Locomotor Flashcards
A coach observes a child’s running technique and notices that the child’s arms are not moving in rhythm with their legs, causing inefficient movement. To improve this, which of the following drills should the coach use to specifically focus on correcting the arm movement in running?
Sitting tall with legs extended and practicing arm swings from the shoulder
In the context of locomotor skills, which stage of skill development is a child in if they perform a movement effortlessly, without conscious effort, and efficiently?
Proficient
When teaching a child how to land safely from a jump. which primary focus should the coach emphasize to prevent injury?
Absorbing force through the muscles of the hip, thigh, and lower leg
Which of the following is a clear indicator of poor core stability when observing a child performing a crawling exercise?
The hips show pronounced wagging while crawling
A child practicing single-leg lateral bounds struggles to maintain balance upon landing. This suggests a need to improve which specific aspect of their movement?
Stability in hip and lower body control
An individual struggling with the coordination needed for crawling exercises would likely benefit from:
Exercises to activate the core and lumbopelvic muscles
Why is crawling considered beneficial for neuromotor development?
It involves simultaneous limb movement and creates new neural connections
Which of the following best describes the function of the core during contralateral crawling movements?
Transferring energy across the body’s midline
What aspect of running does the exercise involving knee raises while on the support foot aim to improve?
Proper foot positioning for efficient push-off
If a student shows limited CRF (cardiorespiratory fitness) when performing moderate-intensity physical activities, which skill or attribute is most likely underdeveloped?
Adequate aerobic endurance for sustained movement
