This document describes different types of body movements important for physical education. It outlines axial movements like bending, lifting, stretching, twisting, and circling. Locomotor movements including walking, running, hopping, skipping, leaping, jumping, galloping, and sliding are also explained. Finally, the document lists eight directions that movements can occur in, such as forward, backward, sideward, upward, downward, clockwise, counterclockwise, and diagonal.
