LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of this chapter, the students are expected to: 1. identify the different types of locomotor and non-locomotor movements; 2. perform the types of locomotor and non-locomotor movements scientifically; and 3. design a specific activity using the given movement. OVERVIEW Fundamental movement skills are a specific set of skills that involve different body parts such as feet, legs, trunk, head, arms and hands. These skills are the “structure blocks” for more compound and specific skills that kids will need throughout their lives to competently participate in different games, sports and recreational activities. In this section, fitness-based locomotor and non-locomotor will be reintroduced. These movements can be utilized as part of exercise programs or physical activity.
