2. LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS
• These are movements that allow the body to
move from one point in space to another. It is
canned from two words, “locos” which means
place and “motor” which means movement.
1. WALKING is shifting one’s weight from one
foot to the other.
3. 2. RUNNING is moving with longer
strides and in faster speed than
walking
4. 3. HOPPING is springing on one foot
and landing on the same foot.
5. 4. SKIPPING is done with a step and a
hop using the same foot.
6. 5. JUMPING is springing on one foot or both
feet and landing on both feet. (on landing
always bend knees slightly.)
7. 6. LEAPING is springing on one foot
and landing on the other foot (wide
stride).
8. 7. SLIDING is done by gliding on the floor,
sideward or forward using the right and left
foot alternately.
9. Non-Locomotors Skills
• These are movements that are
done in one point in space
without transferring to another
point. They don’t allow you to
move from one place to the
other.
10. • 1. BENDING OR FLEXING is moving the
muscles around a joint where two body parts
meet.
11. 2. Extension - This is the opposite of flexion.
You are extending if you are increasing the
angle of a joint. Stretching is another word
for extension.
12. 3. LIFTING OR RAISING is elevating a
part of the body, usually for the
arms and legs.
13. 4. TWISTING is moving a part of the
body around a long axis, usually for
the head and body.
14. 5. ROTATING OR ENCIRCLING is done
by moving a part of the body
around axis.
15. 7. Rotation - To rotate is to move a body segment
allowing it to complete a circle with its motion. It’s
not only limited to circumduction which is done in
ball and socket joints. Rotation can also be done in
wrists, waist, knees and ankle
16. QUESTIONS
• WHY DO WE NEED TO STUDY THE
LOCOMOTOR AND NON-LOCOMOTOR
MOVEMENT?
• WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCOMOTOR
AND NON-LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENT IN
EVERYDAY LIFE?
18. • What is cardiovascular system explain?
• The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular
system) delivers nutrients and oxygen to all
cells in the body. It consists of the heart and
the blood vessels running through the entire
body. The arteries carry blood away from the
heart; the veins carry it back to the heart.
