Week 2
Activity 1: Hidden Word
1. MANIPULATIVE
2. LOCOMOTOR
3. CORE
4. LUNGE
5. WALK
Activity 2: Point the Word
1. Locomotor – Locomotor movement skills are those in which the body is moved in one
direction, or a combination of directions, from one point to another. Activities such as walking,
jogging, moving forwards, backward, side-shuffling, skipping, running, jumping, hopping, and
leaping are considered fundamental locomotion movements.
Activity 3: Picture Analysis
1. The woman is working out her waist by planking. She works out to get rid of the belly fat.
2. The lady is practicing leg workouts. The lady performing lunges to strengthen her hip and leg
muscles
3. A mountain climber uses a safety cord to keep himself safe. Mountain climbing is a thrilling but
risky activity, therefore safety comes first.
4. A baseball player successfully catches a baseball in order to win.
Activity 4: Think and Share
Core training is defined as the strengthening and conditioning of the muscles that surround our
midsection—the belly, hips, pelvis, and lower back. These muscles wrap around and protect the spine,
which is in charge of maintaining and balancing the body when moving. Core training can also refer to
core stabilization or balance training.
The Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are some of the most common actions from childhood to
adulthood. FMS consists of three skills groups that define physical literacy which are the non-
locomotor, locomotor, and manipulative skills.
Non-Locomotor
- Any movement that does not travel but uses the available space in any direction or movement
arranged around the axis of the body; bending, twisting, stretching, and swinging are examples
of axial movement.
Locomotor
- Locomotor movement abilities are those in which the body moves in one direction or a mix of
directions from one location to another. Walking, jogging, going forwards and backwards, side-
shuffling, skipping, running, jumping, hopping, and leaping are examples of essential locomotor
actions.
Manipulative
- Manipulative movements are those that entail the use of a bodily part, such as the hands or
feet, to move or manipulate an item. Manipulative motions can involve big motor abilities such
as kicking or bouncing a ball as well as fine motor skills such as writing or drawing. In sports,
manipulative motor abilities are frequently required.
Activity 5: Guide Questions
Directions: Read and answer the following questions:
1. What are the aspects of an individual that will improve by understanding core training? How
does it develop each aspect?
- Training your core muscles which follows the training principles of progression, regression
and overload will enhance and also improve the efficiency of your movement.
2. Why is it important to identify the physical activity level of readiness?
- In addition to your movement skills proficiency, examining your current levels of activity and
fitness is critical to determining your body's preparedness for physical activities.
- The PAR-Q is used for the majority of assessments, and the results of this exam will decide if
you have a medical concern that has to be addressed as soon as feasible.
- This evaluation will take place before to participating in the fitness test or any physical
activity.
3. How do core training can improve your stability and mobility?
- You may increase your stability by repeating exercises and improving mobility during core
training so that your muscles can develop to such an extent.

4. Squat Non-locomotor
5. Lunge Non-locomotor
6. Balancing Manipulative
7. Dribbling Manipulative
8. Swimming Locomotor
9. Running Locomotor
10. Wheeling Locomotor
Common questions
Powered by AIAssessing the physical activity level of readiness is critical because it determines an individual's preparedness for physical activities by evaluating current fitness levels and identifying any medical concerns. This assessment helps ensure safety and maximize the effectiveness of physical activity plans. The PAR-Q is commonly used to identify potential health risks, ensuring appropriate measures are taken before participating in fitness tests or activities .
Manipulative movements are important in sports and daily activities because they involve using limbs to control or move objects. In sports, this includes kicking, catching, or dribbling a ball, which requires coordination and precision. In daily life, manipulative skills are used for tasks like writing or cooking, requiring fine motor precision. These movements develop hand-eye coordination and dexterity, essential for performance in various settings .
Locomotor movement proficiency is essential for effective participation in physical activities throughout life as it forms the basis for moving and navigating within one's environment. Skills like walking, running, and jumping are fundamental for engaging in sports, recreational activities, and everyday functions. These movements underpin more complex skills and enhance physical fitness, social engagement, and lifelong physical activity participation .
Manipulative movements involve handling objects, using gross and fine motor skills like kicking or writing. Locomotor movements involve moving the body through space in directions such as walking or running. Non-locomotor movements are body movements around a stationary axis, including bending or stretching. Each type of movement develops different skill sets, important for physical activity and sports proficiency, contributing to comprehensive movement competence .
Core training principles of progression, regression, and overload enhance movement efficiency by systematically increasing exercise difficulty and intensity. Progression involves gradually increasing the challenge of exercises to build strength and endurance. Regression provides simpler variations for those who need to build foundational strength. The principle of overload involves increasing the intensity to stimulate adaptation, ensuring continuous improvements in core strength and ultimately improving movement efficiency and stability .
The three groups of Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) consist of non-locomotor, locomotor, and manipulative skills. Non-locomotor skills involve movements that do not travel but are arranged around the body's axis, like bending and stretching. Locomotor skills move the body in various directions, such as walking and running. Manipulative skills involve moving or manipulating an object with body parts, requiring both gross and fine motor abilities, such as kicking a ball or writing. Together, these contribute to physical literacy by helping individuals move competently and confidently in diverse situations and across a lifespan .
Non-locomotor movements enhance stability and coordination by focusing on controlling the body around a central axis without traveling through space. These movements include bending, twisting, and swinging, which improve the body's ability to maintain postural control and coordination, crucial for performing complex physical tasks and sports that require balance and core stability .
Core training plays a crucial role in improving an individual's stability and mobility by working on the muscles that stabilize the spine and pelvis. Regular core exercises enhance muscle strength and coordination, which in turn increases stability. Improved mobility results from these strengthened muscles, allowing a fuller range of movement in various activities, thereby enhancing overall performance and reducing injury risk .
Understanding core training enhances physical performance by strengthening the muscles around the midsection, which includes the belly, hips, pelvis, and lower back. This training helps maintain and balance the body during movements, improving efficiency. Core training follows principles of progression, regression, and overload, ensuring gradual improvement in stability and mobility, leading to better movement efficiency .
Not conducting a physical readiness assessment like the PAR-Q could lead to unrecognized health issues exacerbating during physical activities, increased risk of injury, and ineffective exercise programs. These risks can be mitigated by performing the assessment to identify any medical or physical limitations, consulting with healthcare professionals to address concerns, and tailoring exercise programs to suit individual needs and abilities, ensuring safety and maximizing benefits .
