Types of Body Movements in PE

This document discusses the two types of body movements: axial movements and locomotor movements. Axial movements involve movement of parts of the body in a stationary position, such as bending, lifting, stretching, twisting, circling, and swinging. Locomotor movements allow the performer to move from one place to another through preparatory movements like pointing, stepping, placing, and springing.

Written Report:

There are two types of body movements.

Axial Movements – are movements that are done by a part


or several parts of
the body in stationary place.

• Bend or Flex – to move the body or part of the body


around a
wide axis.
• Lift, Raise – to elevate a part of the body or the whole body
to a
desired level.
• Stretch, extend, and straighten – to lengthen a
part of the body.
• Twist – to move a body around a long axis.
• Circle – to move a body around a point.
• Swing – to move continuously from one point to another.
• Turn, Rotate – to change direction to move around an axis.

Locomotor Movements – are movements that bring the


performer from one
place to the other. The
following are preparatory
movements to
locomotor movements.

• Point – to touch the floor with the toes, the knees well
extended.
• Step – to transfer weight from one foot to another.
• Place – to touch the floor with the whole of the foot with slight
body weight on it.
• Spring – to push off the leg or legs in the air. It is a
combination
of a bend on the knees and leg stretch.
