, 1.1 The following are three categories of movement. Define each
category and provide an example of an activity for each. (3 X 3)
• Locomotion
• Manipulation
• Stability
Locomotion:
Definition: Locomotion refers to the movement of the body from one place to
another in both horizontal and vertical directions.
Example activity: Running in a race, skipping, or hopping like a bunny are all
examples of locomotion activities.
Manipulation:
Definition: Manipulation involves the handling and control of objects, requiring
fine motor skills.
Example activity: Playing catch with a ball, using scissors to cut paper, or building
with blocks are all examples of manipulation activities.
Stability (non-locomotion skills):
Definition: Stability is the ability to maintain balance and equilibrium while
performing tasks.
Example activity: Standing on one foot without wobbling, balancing on a balance
beam, or maintaining posture while sitting upright are all examples of stability
activities.
1.2 Research has proven the benefits of physical activity for young
children. Mention three of those benefits.
Physical Health
Regular physical activity helps young children develop strong muscles and
bones, maintain a healthy weight, and reduce the risk of developing chronic
diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease later in life
Cognitive Development
Physical activity has been shown to improve cognitive function, including
attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. It stimulates the brain and
promotes the growth of neural connections, enhancing learning and academic
performance.
Social and Emotional Well-being:
Participating in physical activities with peers promotes social interaction,
cooperation, and teamwork. It also helps children develop important social skills
such as communication, empathy, and conflict resolution. Also, physical activity
releases endorphins, which can reduce stress, anxiety, and improve mood.
