NON-LOCOMOTOR
SKILLS
MOTOR SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT
BEHAVIOR
9/5/2018 2
LOCOMOTOR SKILLS
• Body moving from one place
to another in a vertical plane
• Develop bodily control
• Walking, running, leaping,
jumping, hopping, galloping,
sliding, & skipping
• Build upon to create routines
and games
• Travel in general space
• Different pathways (straight,
curved, zigzag), directions
(forward, backward,
sideways), & different speeds
(slow, medium, fast)
• Response to signal
(stop/start, change
movements, pathways,
directions, speed)
9/5/2018 3
NON-LOCOMOTOR SKILLS
• Not require body to move
from place to place; not
incorporate objects into
movement
• Performed in stable position
standing or sitting
• Twisting, turning, bending,
stretching, rocking, curling,
balance
• Movements in same place
• Mostly used in gymnastics
• Stretch, tuck, pike, straddle,
turn, twist, bend
• Phases:
• Develop skill
• Expand skill
• Master skill
9/5/2018 4
Manipulative Skills
Fine and gross motor skills that involve the control of objects
primarily with the hands and feet
Examples:
• Throwing
• Catching
• Striking
• Kicking
9/5/2018 5
Fundamental Motor Skill Development
Fundamental Movement Skills
• A common motor activity with specific movement patterns
(a.k.a. basic motor skill)
Movement Pattern
• Basic functional structure of a fundamental motor skill
• A series of movements organized in a particular time-space
sequence
9/5/2018 6
MOVEMENT PATTERNS
Immature (initial)
2 to 3 years
Elementary, 4 to 5 years
Mature
6 to 7 years
Skill, rather than age-related
Sport skill
Adapted to special requirements
9/5/2018 7
APPROACHES
Composite approach (total body approach)
• Break down of movement pattern changes into a sequence of
stages covering “all” parts of the body
Component approach
• Changes divided into substages
• Each body component is followed through the development
process
9/5/2018 8
METHODS OF STUDYING MOVEMENT
Tools
• Human eye, video devices, timing devices, electrical devices,
anthropometry, dynamography (force), etc.
Biomechanic
Kinematics and kinetics
Process / Product values (and types of assessment)
9/5/2018 9
RUNNING
• Locomotor skill
• Natural extension of
walking
• Characterized by “flight”
phase
• No foot is contacting
surface
9/5/2018 10
9/5/2018 11
JUMPING
• Locomotor skill in which the body is projected into the air by
means of a force generated by one or both legs and then
lands on one or both feet
• Leaping (1-foot take-off and landing on opposite foot)
• Vertical jump (2-feet take-off and landing)
• Long jump (2-feet take-off and landing)
• Hopping (1-foot take-off and landing on same foot)
9/5/2018 12
STAGES OF JUMPING
9/5/2018 13
PATTERNS FOR JUMPING
9/5/2018 14
GALLOPING, SLIDING, AND SKIPPING
• Locomotor skills
• Galloping, same foot leads (walk / leap)
• Sliding, sideways gallop
• Skipping, step-hop pattern
9/5/2018 15
THROWING
• Complex manipulative skill in which one or both arms are
used to thrust an object away from the body and into space
• Overhand
• Sidearm
• Underhand
9/5/2018 16
9/5/2018 17
9/5/2018 18
9/5/2018 19
Catching
• Gross motor, manipulative
skill
• Involves tracking an incoming
object, stopping its
momentum, and gaining
control of it by use of the
hands
9/5/2018 20
9/5/2018 21
Striking
• Gross motor, manipulative skill
• When part of the body (e.g.,
hand, foot, or head) or an
implement (e.g., paddle,
racquet, or bat) is used to give
impetus to an object
Kicking
• Gross motor,
manipulative skill
• When the foot is used
to strike an object
Ball Bouncing and Dribbling
• Manipulative skills
• Propel a ball in a
downward direction
• Dribbling is when a ball
is bounced 3 or 4
consecutive times
Climbing
• Locomotor skill
• Involves ascending and descending
movement using the hands and feet
• Marking time pattern (uses the same
foot to step up or down)
• Cross-lateral pattern (alternates sides
and places only one foot on each
level)
9/5/2018 26
Fine Motor Behavior
Manipulation
• Refers to skillful and refined use of hands
• 3 to 8 years
Finger Differentiation
Construction and Self-Help Skills
Drawing and Writing
• Palmar grasp (power
grip)
• < 3 years of age
• Fingers and thumb wrap
object
• Movement guided by
shoulder and arm
Figure 9.22
• Dynamic tripod
• 4 > years of age
• Fingers and thumb
• Wrist
• Proximodistal
Figure 9.22
Drawing and Writing
Bimanual Control
The use and control of two hands
Symmetrical
• Similar and simultaneous
• Clapping and jump roping
Asymmetrical
• Different, coordinated, and complementary
• Cutting and tying
• Evident by 1st year
• Mastery by 6 years
Functional (Motor) Asymmetries
Brain Lateralization
Sidedness
• Right-sided
• Left-sided
• Mix-sided
Eye Preference
• The least degree of right-sidedness
• Approx. 70% of adults prefer the right eye
Handedness
• More right-handed with age
• Approx. 90% of the population is right-handed
Footedness
• Non-preferred foot is used as stabilizer
• There is more mixed-footedness than mixed-
handedness
• Approx. 80% of adults are right-footed
Functional (Motor) Asymmetries
• Early childhood is characterized by fundamental movement actions
that can be categorized into locomotor, nonlocomotor, and
manipulative (gross and manual) behaviors.
• Two general approaches associated with qualitative movement
changes across time are composite approach and component
approach.
• Manipulation refers to the skillful and refined use of the hands.
• Bimanual control involves the use of two hands in a symmetrical or
asymmetrical function. A general developmental trend for all functional
asymmetries is a shift toward the greater right-sidedness with
increasing age.
