PG #1: Knowledge and performance of simple to complex movement patterns Miss Lawley Core 3 PE

Basic Motor Skill Basic movement that involves the combination of movement patterns of two or more body segments. – It takes several basic motor skills to perform a movement pattern.

Motor Skills Locomotor skills: Running, jumping, hopping, galloping, skipping and leaping Non-Locomotor: The body remains in place, but may move around its horizontal and vertical axis (twist, turn, bend, stretch, swing, push, pull, etc.). Manipulative skills: “Manipulating” an object or person by using either an implement or body part (catching, throwing, pushing, kicking, striking, etc.). It includes an object/person AND a motor skill.

Movement Skills Simple Skills: Skills that have only one or two basic movements (for example, running or skipping). Complex Skills: Skills that combine two or more locomotor and/or manipulative fundamental movements (for example, catching and throwing, or trapping and passing).

Movement Patterns Simple movement pattern: Skills that include only one or two basic movements Complex movement pattern: Skills that have two or more locomotor and/or manipulative movements Combined movement patter: Skills that have two or more locomotor, non- locomotor and/or manipulative movements

Enhancements Directions – forward, backward, left, right, up, down Levels in space – high, medium, low Pathways – straight, curved, zigzag

Critical Elements Small, isolated parts of the whole skill or movement – Without these elements, the movement pattern won’t be as successful For example: a jump shot without the jump, throwing a softball without stepping with your opposite foot)

Practice! 1.Does the student start in a squatting position? 2.Does the student raise their butt to roll with hands placed on floor? 3.Does the student keep their chin tucked to their chest? 4.Does the student stay in a ball throughout the roll? 5.Does the student roll onto the back of his/her head? 6.Does the student roll straight forward? 7.Can the student create enough momentum to stand straight up? Forward Roll NOW … Write down the critical elements of 2 skills that you know.
