Non- Traditional Exercise
Selection
The Perceptual Motor Skills can be the great equalizer:
The Perceptual Motor Skills
1. Body: Identify parts of the body and what they do.
2. Directional: Identify directions and orientation of direction.
3. Spatial: Understand how much space the body takes up
4. Visual: Using visual cues to create action
5. Temporal: Understand timing and rhythm
6. Vestibular: Orientation of head and body in space
7. Proprioceptive: Understand orientation of limbs in space and react to pressure feedback
8. Tactile: Understand and process touch
9. Auditory: Using auditory cues effectively

Traditional Exercise Selection
1. Locomotion: Ability to efficiently move between two
points in various body orientations, speeds, and planes.
2. Stationary Movement Control: Ability to maintain proper
postural integrity in different orientations in response to
different loads while stationary.
(Push, pull, rotation, knee dominant, hip dominant, frontal
plane)
