LESSON2: ADAPTATION OF LOCOMOTOR AND NONLOCOMOTOR

SKILLS TO TRAINING EXERCISES

Intended Learning Outcome:

At the end of the chapter, the students are expected to:


1. adapt the basic movements competencies in training exercises.

PREPARATION:
► Giving of Warm-up Exercises:

The purpose of the warm-up is to prepare players for the training to follow. During the
warm-up, body temperature is raised, which is one of the main factors in facilitating
performance. The elevation of body temperature warms up and stretches muscles, tendons,
ligaments, and other tissues, which prevents or reduces ligament sprains and tendon and
muscle strains.

1. Knee hug and calf raise

Instruction:

● Standing straight with your feet hip-width apart,

slowly raise your right leg to your abdomen area.

● Tuck in your legs using both arms and raise your

calf pointing forward.

● Hold it for 16 seconds and change direction.

● Return to the starting position and repeat on the left side.

Common questions

Locomotor exercises involve movements that transport an individual from one place to another, such as jumping, running, or skipping. These are designed to improve cardiovascular fitness and agility . In contrast, nonlocomotor exercises focus on movements performed in place without traveling, such as stretching and holding positions, being geared more towards flexibility, strength, and core stabilization .

A creative mixed training set could include performing Frankenstein Walks (nonlocomotor) for 15 repetitions on each side, followed by Jumping Jacks (locomotor) for 30 seconds. This could be combined with the Inchworm (nonlocomotor) for 10 reps and a sequence of Hop, Skip, Leap (locomotor) performed for 20 seconds each. This mix enhances cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and muscle strength .

Maintaining a 90-degree angle in the Dead Bug Series ensures that the core muscles, specifically the abdominals and hip flexors, are properly engaged. This position places tension on these muscles, promoting endurance, control, and strength while preventing unnecessary strain on the lower back .

The variation in plank exercises provides scalability for different fitness levels. Beginning with knees on the ground reduces intensity, making it accessible for beginners, while full planks increase core, shoulder, and leg engagement. Performing them correctly improves core stability, strength, and posture while minimizing the risk of injury .

Bracing the core involves contracting the abdominal muscles to stabilize the trunk, which ensures an efficient transfer of force during exercises. This enhances effectiveness by providing a stable base for movements, reducing the risk of injury, and improving overall strength and posture during nonlocomotor exercises .

Proper jumping and landing techniques play a critical role in injury prevention during high-impact exercises by ensuring the force is distributed evenly across joints like the knees and ankles. Landing on the balls of the feet with bent knees absorbs shock and reduces stress on the skeletal structure, which prevents injuries like stress fractures and ligament tears .

The Bird Dog Series fosters balance and coordination by requiring simultaneous movement and stabilization. Extending opposite limbs challenges the body's equilibrium, necessitating the engagement of core muscles and proprioception to maintain stability and control throughout the exercise .

Lateral movements like the Grapevine and Crossover enhance agility by improving the body's ability to change direction quickly, vital for sports and functional fitness. They also develop coordination through rhythm and timing, which improves motor skills and balance .

Performing warm-up exercises raises body temperature, which helps in preparing players for subsequent training by warming up and stretching muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other tissues. This preparation is crucial as it reduces the likelihood of ligament sprains and tendon and muscle strains, ultimately facilitating improved performance .

Crawl & Creep exercises enhance body awareness by involving multiple muscle groups in coordinated movements, improving proprioception. They increase both upper and lower body strength by requiring the body to support weight as it moves forward, engaging the arms, shoulders, core, and legs significantly .
