Fundamental Movements and Movement Exploration
Fundamental movement skills are movement patterns that involve
various body parts and provide basis of physical literacy. Fundamental
movement skills are the foundational movements, or precursor patterns to
the more specialized and complex skills use in play, games and specific
sports (Human Kinetics).

Basic Locomotor Skills

a. Locomotor Movements

Movement in-space as one goes from one place to another.

Walk – a regular pace of the feet. A simple transfer of

the weight from one foot to the other.

Run – a fast walk or an increased speed in walking

by lifting the foot off the contact floor or ground

 Hop – with the weight of the body on one foot spring on
that same foot.

Leap – with the weight of the body on one foot,

spring on one foot and land on the other foot.

Slide – a full contact of the foot on the floor by

gliding or a slide.

Gallop – a combination of a step (full transfer of

weight on one foot) and a cut by the transfer of

weight to the other foot.

Skip – a combination of a step and a hop on a fast

tempo.

b. Non-Locomotor or Axial Movement

Movement done in a stationary or fixed base

Extension – straightening or stretching of a

body part from a joint.

Flexion – a contraction or shortening of body parts

from a joint

Rotation – turning, twisting or circling around the

axis.

Pendular – a similar movement of a pendulum.
