Chapter 6 After completing this chapter, the student will be able to do the following: 1 Identify elements that influence performance skill. 2 Explain why massage application is movement-generated rather than sport-generated. 3 Describe the importance of coordinated movement strategies. 4 Compare and contrast acceleration and deceleration. 5 Describe the movement strategies of: 1. Identify elements that influence performance skill. 2. Explain why massage application is movement-generated rather than sport-generated. 3. Describe the importance of coordinated movement strategies. Fundamental movement stills are divided into three categories: • Locomotor/Moving: involves the body moving in any way. Skills in this category include walking, running, cutting, pivoting, jumping, sliding, and skipping. • Non-locomotor/Stability Skills: involve maintaining static balance in one place or dynamic balance while in motion. Skills in this category include bending, stretching, twisting, turning, lifting, landing after jump, standing on one foot, and controlled falling. • Manipulative Skills: involve handling and controlling objects with the hand, the foot, or an implement such as a bat or a racquet. Skills in this category include throwing, catching, batting, and kicking. Certain combinations of basic functional movements equal sport-specific skills. These basic movements include walking/running, jumping, kicking, and throwing. These can be further categorized as rotation, swinging, catching, hitting, cutting, pivoting, and turning. Each of these basic movements is even more fundamentally a combination of primary movements of flexion, extension, medial and lateral rotation, abduction, adduction, pronation, supination, dorsiflexion, and plantar flexion (Box 6-1).
