2. Functional Movement – is the ability
to move the body with proper muscle
and joint function in pain-free
movement.
It is important to prevent injuries and
engage in stabilizing muscles in more
efficient to have a healthy body
movement.
3. 4 pillars of Human Functional Movements
1. Locomotion – this is the foundation for ground
based force production.
2. Level changes – this represents non locomotor
tasks such as getting up off floor or taking
someone to the ground or a squat movement.
3. Pushing/pulling – usually done unilaterally in
a reciprocal manner is cross wired
neurologically.
4. Rotation – responsible for changes in direction
and rotational torque production.
4. 7 Functional Movement Patterns
1. Hinge – is a classic movement pattern,
executed multiple times a day, by almost single
person in the world.
2. Squat – is the most important movement
patterns and coveted exercise by booty-builders
and elderly alike.
3. Lunge – a movement pattern is actually a
single-leg cross-over between hinge and squat
movement patterns.
5. 4. Push – this movement pattern comes in play
when you are getting off the ground from a
stomach-down position.
5. Pull – is one of the most classic of total-body
strength and pulling something towards yourself.
6. Gait/Carry – is the most functional and
practical movement pattern of all of them, and
consider as core work or center of all motion.
6. 7. Twist/Rotate – this pattern requires head-to-toe
stability and teaches your body to work as a single
unit rather than as separate halves.
A. Daily Physical Activities
Physical activity – is any bodily movement that
requires more expenditure.
It can improve your brain health, help manage
weight, reduce risk of diseases, strengthen your
bones and muscle, and improve your body in
everyday activities.
7. 3 main types of Physical activity
1. Aerobic activity – it is also called
endurance activity. It is the moves your
large muscles, such as those in your arms
and legs.
Examples : gardening, hiking, skateboarding,
ballroom dancing, jumping rope
8. 2. Muscle-strengthening activity – can improve
the strength, power, and endurance of your
muscles.
Examples: climbing stairs, push-ups, lifting
weights, digging in the garden, sit-ups
3. Bone-strengthening activity- your feet, legs,
arms support your body’s weight and your
muscles push against your bones.
Examples: running, walking, jumping rope, lifting
weights
9. B. Motor Skills – is a function that involves
specific movements of the body muscles to
perform a certain task.
It is important are they make a person
able to move and complete the tasks
efficiently and it supports cognitive, speech,
and sensory development.
Examples: sitting, standing, walking,
running, jumping
10. 2 Types of Motor Skills
1. Fine motor skills – they use the small
muscles in the body for precision and high
degree of control. It includes such as the
movements in the hand or wrist.
Examples: holding a pencil, buttoning up a
shirt, picking up food
11. 2. Gross motor skills – they use the large
muscles in the body for strengthen,
coordination, and reaction time in any part
of the body. It is also movements that
involve the arms, legs, and trunk of the
body.
Examples: running faster, climbing stairs,
throwing a large ball
12. 6 components of motor skills
1. Agility – is the capacity to change course, controlling
the direction and position of your body while
maintaining your momentum.
2. Balance – is the ability to stabilize your body ,
whether standing still or maintaining motion.
3. Coordination – describe the synchronization of your
senses and your body parts in a way that enhances
motor skills.
13. 4. Power – is a combination of speed and
muscular force.
5. Reaction time – time measures how swiftly you
interpret and react to expected and unexpected
events happening around you.
6. Speed- is the facility to move your body swiftly.
