MOVEMENT COMPETENCE
Skills
• Stabilitywithstatic balance, in which the body remains in place but moves around its horizontal or vertical axis, and stability with dynamic balance, in which core strength is used to maintain balance and control of the body while moving through space (e.g., bending, stretching, twisting, turning, rolling, balancing, transferring weight, curling up, landing from a jump)
• Locomotion or travelling skills, used to move the body from one point
to another (e.g., walking, wheeling, running, skipping, hopping, galloping, chasing, dodging)
• Manipulationskills,
which involve giving force to objects or receiving force from objects when sending, receiving, or retaining objects (e.g., throwing, catching, trapping, collecting, kicking, punting, dribbling, carrying, volleying, striking)
Concepts
• Bodyawareness–What parts of the body move, and in what way? Awareness of body parts, shape, actions (e.g., wide, narrow, twisted, symmetrical, curled, stretched)
• Spatial awareness – Where does the body move? (e.g., location, direction, level, pathway, plane, extensions)
• Effort awareness – How does the body move? (e.g., fast or slow, with strong or light force, bound or free)
• Relationship–Withwhom or with what does the body move? (e.g., with people or objects, or in a particular environment)
Activity Appreciation
Learning about game or activity structures, rules, and skills through participation in activities, modified as necessary
Tactical Awareness
Developing understanding of the principles of play or participation common to
similar activities
Decision Making
Learning to make decisions about what to do and how to do it in different situations
Application of Skills
Developing understanding of what skills are required to improve proficiency and how
to apply those skills while participating
in activities
Performance
Demonstrating skills, techniques, and tactics in activities or demonstrations
Movement Principles
• Centre of gravity: Stability increases as the centre of gravity becomes lower, the base of support becomes larger, the line of gravity moves nearer to the centre of the base of support, and the mass becomes greater .
• Laws of motion and force
• Summation of joints: The production of maximum force requires the use of
all the joints that can be used .
• Maximum velocity: The production of maximum velocity requires the use of joints in order, from largest to smallest .
• Applied impulse: The greater the applied impulse, the greater the increase in velocity .
• Law of reaction: Movement usually occurs in the direction opposite that of the applied force .
Movement Concepts. Students will learn to apply the following movement concepts as they develop movement skills:
Body awareness – What body parts move and in what way?
• body parts (e.g., arms, legs, elbows, knees, head, shoulders, back)
• body shape (e.g., round, wide, narrow, curled, stretched, twisted, symmetrical, asymmetrical)
