PE. Locomotor and Non Locomotor

This document provides information about locomotor and non-locomotor movements in physical education class. It defines locomotor movements as those that allow movement from one point to another, such as stepping, walking, running, and jumping. Non-locomotor movements are performed in one space without transferring, including flexion, extension, contraction, and rotation. The document also discusses elements of movement like rhythm, level, range, floor pattern, and focus. Students are then instructed to determine if example movements are locomotor or non-locomotor and given an assignment.

Hello, everybody!

Welcome to
P.E. Class
Warm-up
Locomotor Movements
These are movements that allow you to
move from one point in space to another.
It is canned from two words, “locos”
which means place and “motor” which
means movement.
Locomotor Movements

1. Step
2. Walk
3. Run
4. Jump
Step
This is the basic of all
locomotor movements. It
prepares you to move in any
direction you wish to go. It is
defined as transfer of weight
from one foot to the other.
Walk
Series of steps executed by both
of your feet alternately in any
direction. In executing a walk,
observe that there’s this moment
when both feet are in contact with
the ground while one foot
supports the weight and transfers
it to one another.
Run
Series of walks executed
quickly in any direction
wherein only one foot stays
on the ground while the other
is off the ground.
Jump
This movement is simply described
by having both feet lose its contact
with the ground while the others is
off the ground.

-Take off from one foot and land on the same


-Take off from one foot and lands on the other
-Take off from one foot and land on both feet
-Take off from both feet and land on one foot
-Take off from both feet and land on both
Non-locomotor Movements
These are movements that are performed
in one point in space without
transferring to another point. They don’ t
allow you to move from one place to the
other.
Locomotor Movements

1. Flexion
2. Extension
5. Collapse
3. Contraction
6. Recover
4. Release
7. Rotation
Flexion
It is the act of decreasing the
angle of a joint. If you bend a
joint, like your elbow or knee,
you are performing flexion.
Extension
You are extending if you are
increasing the angle of a joint.
Stretching is another word for
extension.
Contraction
A muscle movement done when
it shortens, narrows and
tightens using sufficient
amount of energy in the
execution.
Release
A muscle movement opposite
to contraction done when it let
goes or let looses of being held
into a shortening movement
Collapse
To deliberately drop the
exertion of energy into a body
segment
Recover
The opposite of collapse. This
is to regain the energy exerted
into a body segment.
Rotation
Is to move a body segment
allowing it to complete a circle
with its motion. It’s not only
limited to circumduction which is
done in ball and socket joints.
Rotation can also be done in
wrists, waist, knees and ankles.
Twist
To move a body segment from
an axis halfway front or back
or quarter to the right or left
as in the twisting of the neck
allowing the head to face right
or left.
Elements of movements
in space

1. Rhythm
2. Level
3. Range
4. Floor pattern/design
5. Direction
Focus
Rhythm
Regular recurrence of a beat. It
may be regular or irregular. In
basic music, rhythm is regular and
metered (24, 34 or 44). They be
slow, moderate or fast. This
elements of rhythm is called
tempo. Music dictates the speed of
movements we create.
Level
This refers to the level of
movement. It may be low, when
knees are fully or slightly bend
when executing movement; high,
if the heels are raised or
movements are done while off the
floor.
Range
This element refers to the scope of
movement execution. It is dictated
by the space provided. If the
space is wide then movement
should be wide and big. If space is
limited then movement should be
small and limited too.
Floor Patter/design

This refers to the designs created


on the floor by the bodies of
dancers. They may be geometric
or non geometric formation.
Focus
This is the focal point of dancers
attention while moving in space
Direction
This element adds to variety of
movement. They may be
performed forward, backward,
sideward or even upward.
Direction: I will group you in four and think
a scenario or task that you can execute the
different locomotor and non-locomotor
movements.
Direction: Determine the following
movement if it is locomotor or non-locomotor
movements. Write LM if it is locomotor
movement and NM if it is non-locomotor
movement.
____1. Twist ____6. Jump
