Body Awareness - (Correct Answer) - the sense on being aware of movement in different parts
of the body
called proprioception
Exercises that encourage body awareness - (Correct Answer) - Shape (allow body to form
different shapes, stand like a pole)
Balance (balance on one foot, form a tripod with your body)
Quality (how fast or slow can you move? tense one part of your body and then relax another)
Space (run in a zigzag fashion without bumping into others, do warm ups one arm length away
from each other)
Exploration (make a bridge with a partner and then have a third person go under the bridge,
lead with your head when walking)
Locomotor Skills - (Correct Answer) - basic movement skills that are performed in different
directions at different speeds
they are dynamic movements that propel the body upward, forward, or backward.
,they are the foundation of gross motor coordination
Examples of locomotor skills - (Correct Answer) - jumping (jump and touch the ceiling, jump like
a kangaroo)
skipping
galloping (have the class hold hands and slide in a circle to a rhythmic beat)
sliding
Nonlocomotor Skills - (Correct Answer) - often referred to as static movements because they are
performed while standing in place
executed by twisting, turning in place, bending, swaying while moving toward or away form the
body center, raising or lowering parts of the body, or stretching in place
Examples of nonlocomotor skills - (Correct Answer) - stretching (ask to stretch as far as is
comfortable while keeping their movement smooth)
Twisting (ask to twist as fully as is comfortably possible, then twist in the opposite direction
while holding the supporting body parts steady)
,Pushing (controlled, forceful action performed against an object, moves body away from the
object while applying force)
Object Manipulation Skills - (Correct Answer) - complex motor patterns that are basic to
specialized sports and are performed with some kind of object
requires hand-eye or foot-eye coordination, and thus requires developmental appropriate gross
and fine motor abilities
Examples of object manipulation skills - (Correct Answer) - Throwing (allow practice with a
variety of objects that have varying weight and size)
Catching (catching balls that bounce up from the floor to teach rebound angles)
Kicking (reduce the size of the projectile object as skill levels develop)
Striking (practice on stationary objects, t-ball: ball is on stand and struck)
Basic Concepts of Biomechanics - (Correct Answer) - Motion: newton's laws of motion apply to
all movement. body movements involve force, acceleration, and velocity. the force of energy in
the body causes change in physical motion.
, Gravity: center of body is the center of gravity and the point around which the mass of the body
is equally distributed. balance and support affected by height, position, and movement changes.
during movement body adjusts to maintain stability.
Friction: the resistance of motion of two moving objects. a ball kicked on grass moves slower
than a ball kicked on concrete due to the friction of the grass.
Newton's first law - (Correct Answer) - when an object is in motion, it will remain in motion until
there is an outside force that acts upon it.
a ball thrown using very little strength, gravity (outside force) will overcome velocity of ball and
it will fall short.
a ball thrown with too much strength, the ball will overcome gravity and hit the backboard
(outside source) and change its direction
Newton's second law - (Correct Answer) - states the relationship between an object's mass,
acceleration, and applied force.
continuity of movement is responsible for producing the maximum force and velocity.
sitting in a chair, trying to throw a basketball into the hoop, you can't follow through with
motion.
