Locomotor movements- Involve traveling from one place to another.

These movements enable a person

to change location from one point to another. Locomotor movements are fundamental in activities like
walking, running, jumping, hopping, skipping, galloping, sliding, and leaping. These movements require
coordination, balance, and control of the body in motion.

Walking: Moving forward with a regular gait.

Running: Moving rapidly with a sequence of alternating steps.
Jumping: Springing upward or forward from both feet or one foot.
Hopping: Springing into the air from one foot and landing on the same foot.
Skipping: A series of small jumps from one foot to the other.
Galloping: A forward movement with a step and a slide motion.
Sliding: A sideward movement with one foot leading.
Leaping: A long, high jump or bound forward.

Non-locomotor movements- on the other hand, are movements that occur while staying in one place.
These movements involve controlling parts of the body or the whole body without changing location.
They are typically performed in a stationary position and are essential in activities like stretching,
bending, twisting, swaying, swinging, pushing, pulling, and shaking.

Bending: Moving the body forward or downward from the waist.

Stretching: Extending or reaching the body parts to their full length.
Twisting: Turning the body from the waist in a circular motion.
Swaying: Moving gently from side to side.
Swinging: Moving a body part or the whole body back and forth.
Pushing: Applying force to move an object away from the body.
Pulling: Applying force to bring an object closer to the body.
Shaking: Moving the body or a body part rapidly and repeatedly.
Both locomotor and non-locomotor movements are fundamental components of physical education,
dance, and various sports activities. Mastering these movements enhances coordination, flexibility,
and overall physical fitness.
