    Non-locomotor skills involve movement around the body's three axes without traveling from one place to another. They include exercises like squats, yoga poses, planks, bird dogs, rolling, the dead bug series, bracing the core, and scapular movements. Some benefits of non-locomotor skills are improved body awareness, focus, strength, and flexibility as they challenge control of different body parts and muscles.

    Non-locomotor skills are the body's movement that does not involve movement from one

    place to another, meaning it does not travel. It involves movements around the axis of the
    body. It includes actions such as bracing the core, Dead bug series, Rolling, and more.
    There are three (3) axis in our Body it is the:

    Sagittal axis - passes horizontally from posterior to anterior.

    Frontal axis - passes horizontally from left to right

    Vertical axis - passes vertically from inferior to superior

    SQUAT
    A squat is a strength exercise in which the trainee lowers their hips from a standing
    position and then stands back up. During the descent, the hip and knee joints flex while
    the ankle joint dorsiflexion; conversely the hip and knee joints extend and the ankle joint
    plantarflexes when standing up.

    YOGA
    Yoga is a practice that connects the body, breath, and mind. It uses physical postures,
    breathing exercises, and meditation to improve overall health.

    PLANK THE SERIES


    This is due to bad posture and bad alignment of the body. Regular planks can
    help improve posture and rid you of back pain. This is because planks help build strong
    abdominal muscles which reduce the strain on your back, shoulders and neck.

    BIRD DOG STYLE


    The bird dog exercise strengthens the core, hips, and back muscles, helps relieve low
    back pain, and promotes proper posture. It targets the whole body for an increased range
    of motion

    ROLLING
    Rolling is defined as “moving from supine to prone or from prone to supine position” and
    involves some aspect of axial rotation. Rotational movements are described as a form of a
    righting reaction because, as the head rotates, the remainder of the body twists or rotates
    to become realigned with the head. Rolling can be initiated either by the upper extremity
    or the lower extremity, each pattern producing the same functional outcome: movement
    from prone to supine or supine to prone.

    DEAD BUG SERIES


    The Dead Bug exercise series is a progression that strengthens the core by challenging
    the deep abdominal muscle, the transverse abdominis or TVA, to stabilize the pelvis
    against the resistance of the moving arms and legs.

    BRACING THE CORE


    Abdominal bracing is the process of quickly activating all of your core muscles and
    sucking in your stomach. You then hold this tightness while you perform a particular
    exercise motion.
    This action creates a lot of pressure in your abdomen and prevents you from loosely
    moving this part of your body. Together, these actions help support your lower back.

    PRESS UP, SCAPULAR PROTRACTION & RETRACTION


    Scapular retractions are those exercises that require you to pull the shoulder blades
    together toward the spine. However, the shoulders do not move upward toward the ears in
    these types of exercises.

    Also called abduction of the scapula, this is when the scapulae move laterally away from
    the spine. It is essentially the opposite of scapular retraction. The muscles involved in
    shoulder abduction are the serratus anterior, pectoralis major, and pectoralis minor.

    BENEFITS OF NON-LOCOMOTOR

    There are many benefits to incorporating non-locomotor movement into physical education. One benefit
    is that it helps us develop body awareness and control. Non-locomotor movements require us to use
    different parts of their bodies and to be aware of how our bodies are moving through space. This also
    helps us improve our focus and concentration. When we are focused on the movement that we are
    doing, we are less likely to be distracted by other things going on around them. It helps us develop body
    awareness and control. Non-locomotor movements require us to use different parts of our bodies and to
    be aware of how our bodies are moving through space. This also helps us improve our focus and
    concentration.

    Finally, non-locomotor movement can help us develop strength and flexibility. Many non-locomotor
    movements require us to use their muscles in new ways, which can help them build strength. And,
    because many non-locomotor movements involve stretching or reaching, they can also help us increase
    our flexibility.
