    TWO FORMS OF MOVEMENT

    LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS

    • Locomotor refers to body movements that move the body


    from one place to another. They cause the body to travel. There
    are eight main locomotor movements. They are categorized as
    either even or uneven movements. Even rhythm movements
    consist of equal, unvarying actions.This are done by moving the
    body from one place to another. These movements include:

    1. WALKING is shifting one’s weight from one foot to the other.


    2. RUNNING is moving with longer strides and in faster speed than
    walking
    3. HOPPING is springing on one foot and landing on the same
    foot.
    4. SKIPPING is done with a step and a hop using the same foot.
    5. JUMPING is springing on one foot or both feet and landing on
    both feet. (on landing always bend knees slightly.)
    6. LEAPING is springing on one foot and landing on the other foot
    (wide stride).
    7. SLIDING is done by gliding on the floor, sideward or forward
    using the right and left foot alternately.
    8. GALLOPING is stepping on one foot and cutting the other,
    either sideward or forward.

    NON-LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENT

    Nonlocomotor movements are also sometimes called axial


    movements. They are movements of certain body parts, or even
    the whole body, without causing the body to travel. For example,
    swinging your arms back and forth. Notice that nonlocomotor
    movements are often combined with locomotor movements, such
    as walking and swinging your arms.There are many different
    nonlocomotor movements:
    1. BENDING OR FLEXING is moving the muscles around a joint
    where two body parts meet.
    2. STRETCHING OR EXTENDING is done by straightening or
    extending any part of the body from the joints.
    3. LIFTING OR RAISING is elevating a part of the body, usually for
    the arms and legs.
    4. TWISTING is moving a part of the body around a long axis,
    usually for the head and body.
    5. ROTATING OR ENCIRCLING is done by moving a part of the
    body around axis.
    6. SWINGING is a pendular movement below an axis.
    7. SWAYING is a pendular movement above an axis.
