PG #1: Knowledge and performance of simple to complex movement patterns

Miss LawleyCore 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 SkillsLocomotor skills: • Running, jumping, hopping, galloping, skipping

and leapingNon-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 PatternsSimple movement pattern: • Skills that include only one or two basic

movementsComplex movement pattern: • Skills that have two or more locomotor and/or

manipulative movementsCombined 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
