Locomotor & Non-Locomotor
 LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS

These are movements that allow you to

move from one point in space to another.
It is canned from two words, "locos”
which means place and "motor" which
means movement.
Is this an Example of a Locomotor
movement?

A B
 STEP
This is the basis of all locomotor
movements. It prepares you to move in
any direction you wish to go. It is defined
as transfer of weight from one foot to the
other. Try one! Stand with your weight
equally distributed to both of your feet.
Now, let your right foot carry it all.
 WALK
Series of steps executed by both of your
feet alternately in any direction. In
executing a walk, observe that there's this
moment when both feet are in contact
with the ground while one foot supports
the weight and transfers it to the other.
 RUN

Series of walks executed quickly in any

direction wherein only one-foot stays on
the ground while the other is off the
ground.
 Jump

This movement is simply described by

having both feet lose its contact with the
ground.
In a walk, are both feet in contact
with the ground simultaneously
during a specific moment?
Yes No
Does a jump involve both feet is
NOT losing contact with the ground?

Yes No
Is transferring weight from one foot
to the other is the definition of a
step?

Yes No
 NON-LOCOMOTOR

These are movements that are

performed in one point in space without
transfer- ring to another point. They don't
allow you to move from one place to the
other.
Non-Locomotor Examples
 FLEXION

It is the act of decreasing the angle of a

joint. Another term for flexion is to bend.
If you bend a joint, like your elbow or
knee, you are performing flexion.
 Extension

This is the opposite of flexion. You are

extending if you are increasing the angle
of a joint. Stretching is another word for
extension.
 CONTRACTION

A muscle movement done when it

shortens, narrows, and tightens using
sufficient amount of energy in the
execution.
 RELEASE

A muscle movement opposite to

contraction done when it let goes or let
looses of being held into a shortening
movement.
 COLLAPSE

To deliberately drop the exertion of

energy into a body segment.
 RECOVER

The opposite of collapse. This is to

regain the energy exerted into a body
segment.
 ROTATION

To rotate is to move a body segment

allowing it to complete a circle with its
motion. It's not only limited to
circumduction which is done in ball and
socket joints. Rotation can also be done
in wrists, waist, knees, and ankles.
 TWIST

To move a body segment from an axis

halfway front or back or quarter to the
right or left as in the twisting of the neck
allowing the head to face right or left and
the like.
 TWIST (Pivot)

To change the position of the feet or any

body part that carries the body's weight
allowing the body to face in a less than
360 degrees turn.
 TWIST (Turn)

To move in a turning movement with a

base of support, usually a pointed foot,
the other raised, while equilibrium is
maintained until the completion of the
turn.

Cardiovascular Endurance
the definition of cardiovascular
endurance and its importance in
maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
 Cardiovascular endurance refers to
the ability of the heart, lungs, and
blood vessels to work efficiently
during prolonged physical activity. It is
a measure of how well your body can
transport and use oxygen during
exercise.
 7 Benefits in maintaining a healthy lifestyle:
1. Heart Health
Improves the health of your heart by making it stronger
and more efficient.
2. Energy Levels
Boosts overall stamina and endurance, allowing you to
perform daily activities with less fatigue.
3. Weight Management
Aids in burning calories and maintaining a healthy
weight.
4. Disease Prevention
Reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, high blood
pressure, and other health issues.
5. Mood and Mental Health
Releases endorphins, promoting a positive mood and
reducing stress.
6. Better Sleep
Regular cardiovascular exercise contributes to better
sleep quality.
7. Improved Respiratory Function
Reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, high blood
pressure, and other health issues.

The cardiovascular endurance is vital for a healthy

lifestyle as it positively impacts both physical and
mental well-being.
The 3 basic components
of a cardio workout.
 Heart Rate
•Definition: The number of heartbeats per minute.

•Importance: Monitoring heart rate helps gauge the

intensity of the workout and ensures it falls within a
target range for cardiovascular benefits.
 Breathing
•Definition: The process of inhaling and exhaling air
during physical activity.
•Importance: Proper breathing provides the body with
the oxygen needed to fuel muscles during exercise and
helps maintain stamina.
 Oxygen
Consumption
•Definition: The amount of oxygen the body utilizes
during physical exertion.
•Importance: Measuring oxygen consumption reflects
the efficiency of the cardiovascular system in
delivering oxygen to working muscles, indicating
overall fitness level.
Dancing involves a variety of physical demands that
necessitate cardiovascular endurance.
 Here is the 5 key aspects of physical demands:

1. Continuous Movement:

•Description: Many dance styles involve continuous and

rhythmic movements, requiring sustained effort over an
extended period.

•Cardiovascular Demand: This constant motion elevates

heart rate, promoting improved blood circulation and oxygen
delivery to muscles, which is a hallmark of cardiovascular
endurance.
 Here is the 5 key aspects of physical demands:

2. Energetic Movements:

•Description: Dance often incorporates energetic and

dynamic movements, such as jumps, spins, and rapid
footwork.

•Cardiovascular Demand: These high-intensity movements

challenge the cardiovascular system, pushing the heart to
pump more blood and increasing oxygen consumption to
meet the heightened energy demands.
 Here is the 5 key aspects of physical demands:

3. Whole-Body Engagement:

•Description: Dancing engages various muscle groups

simultaneously, including the legs, arms, and core.

•Cardiovascular Demand: Coordinating movements across

multiple muscle groups enhances the demand on the
cardiovascular system, requiring efficient oxygen transport to
different areas of the body.
 Here is the 5 key aspects of physical demands:

4. Increased Respiratory Rate:

•Description: The nature of dance often leads to an increased

respiratory rate as the body demands more oxygen to support
physical exertion.

•Cardiovascular Demand: The need for increased oxygen

intake places additional stress on the cardiovascular system,
stimulating adaptations that enhance endurance over time.
 Here is the 5 key aspects of physical demands:

5. Choreographed Sequences:

•Description: Learning and performing choreographed

sequences require mental focus and physical precision.

•Cardiovascular Demand: The combination of mental

engagement and physical execution adds to the overall
cardiovascular challenge, fostering improved endurance.
 In Summary

dancing's physical demands, characterized by

continuous movement, energetic actions, whole-
body engagement, increased respiratory rate, and
choreographed sequences, collectively contribute
to the development and enhancement of
cardiovascular endurance. Engaging in dance not
only promotes cardiovascular fitness but also
provides a fun and expressive way to achieve and
maintain overall health.
