B. MOVEMENT COMPETENCE: SKILLS, CONCEPTS, AND STRATEGIES
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
B1. perform movement skills, demonstrating an understanding of the basic requirements of the skills and applying movement concepts as appropriate, as they engage in a variety of physical activities;
B2. apply movement strategies appropriately, demonstrating an understanding of the components of a variety of physical activities, in order to enhance their ability to participate successfully in those activities.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
B1. Movement Skills and Concepts
By the end of this course, students will:
B1.1 perform stability and locomotor skills in combination in a variety of physical activities
while responding to external stimuli (e.g., perform a hip hop, modern, folk, or jazz dance; use core strength to maintain balance, reach holds, and pull into position in wall climbing; use core strength to lift out of the seat slightly while cycling to increase pedalling strength and maintain a steady cadence while travelling up a steep hill) [PS, IS, CT]
Teacher prompt: “Stability ball exercises provide some of the most effective ways to develop and improve hip, shoulder, and back stability. In what other ways can using a stability ball be of benefit to you?”
Student: “By using the ball instead of a bench, you can work on coordination and balance while doing seated and lying exercises for different muscle groups. Having to stabilize your body during the sets and repetitions helps to develop core muscle strength and endurance. The enhancement of core muscle strength helps to improve your posture.”
B1.2 perform locomotor and manipulation skills in combination in a variety of physical activities while responding to external stimuli (e.g., move into position to use either a forehand or a backhand stroke in badminton, tennis, or squash; move into position to receive a serve in volleyball or to make a catch in football or ultimate disc, while setting up for the next move; use a step and release motion to send a ball closer to the target [pallino or jack] or to take out an opponent’s ball in bocce) [PS, IS, CT]
Teacher prompt: “Many actions that appear to differ from one physical activity to another because of differences in body movements and equipment are actually quite similar and use the same locomotor and manipulation skills. Can you think of actions in different games and activities that use similar locomotor and manipulation skills?”
Students: “In a lot of games, you have to keep moving to be in the best position to make a play, and you have to be able to change speed and direction quickly, whether you are sending or receiving a pass, returning a shot, or scoring. In these games, staying on the balls of your feet helps you react faster.” “Sending skills are also similar in many sports and games. For example, the overarm striking action that is used when serving in volleyball or tennis or doing a badminton clear is similar to the overarm sending action that is used when throwing a football or a water polo ball.”
