Running
Initial stage |
No observable flight phase
Arms tend to swing out horizontally Wide base of support |
|
|
Running
Elementary Stage |
Increase in length of stride, arm swing, speed
Limited, but observable flight phase More complete extension of support leg on takeoff |
|
|
Running Mature Stage
|
Arms move in opposition to legs, elbows bent
Brief period where feet are off the ground Narrow foot placement landing on heel or toe Nonsupport leg bent at approximately 90 degrees |
|
|
Sliding Initial
|
Arms of little use
No flight phase Contact in a heel-toe combo |
|
|
Sliding Elementary stage
|
moderate tempo
Choppy and stiff exaggerated vertical lift arms to side for balance |
|
|
Sliding mature stage
|
Body turned sideways so shoulders are aligned with the line on floor
Step sideways with lead foot followed by a slide of the trailing foot to a point next to lead foot Minimum of 4 consecutive step-slide cycles to the right and left. |
|
|
Skipping Initial
|
One footed skip
Deliberate step-hop action Exaggerated stepping action and littler arm use Action appears segmented |
|
|
Skipping Elementary
|
Step and hop are coordinated effectively
Rhythmical use of arms to aid momentum Exaggerated vertical lift Flat footed landing |
|
|
Skipping Mature
|
Continuous step hop on alternate feet
Non-support foot is carried near the surface Arm-leg opposition |
|
|
Horizontal Jump- Inititial
|
Limited arm swing
In flight arms move sideward/downward or rear/upward to maintain balance trunk moves in a vertical direction; no emphasis on length of jump Preparatory crouch is inconsistent in terms of leg flexion Difficulty using both feet |
|
|
Horizontal jumping-Elementary
|
Arms initiate jumping action
Arms remain toward the front of the body during preparation phase -Arms move out to the side to maintain balance during flight -preparatory crouch is deeper and more consistent -extension of knees and hips are more complete during take-off -hips are flexed during flight; thighs held in a flexed position |
|
|
Horizontal jumping- Mature stage
|
Hips and knees flex prior to takeoff and arms extended behind body
Arms extend forcefully forward and upward reaching full extension above head level Arms are thrust downward during landing |
|
|
Vertical Jumping Initital
|
Inconsistent preparatory crouch
Difficulty taking off with both feet Poor body extension upon takeoff Arms remain at side Little height is achieved |
|
|
Vertical Jumping elementary
|
exaggerated forward lean during crouch
Takes off with both feet Arms attempt to aid in balance |
|
|
Vertical Jumping Mature
|
Preparatory Crouch
forceful extension oat the hips, knees, and ankles Upward head tilt with eyes focused on target Full body extension |
|
|
Leaping-Initial
|
Student confused in attempts
Can not push off and gain distance in elevation Each attempt looks like a running pattern Inconsistent use of takeoff leg Simultaneous landing on both feet Arms are ineffective |
|
|
Leaping-Elementary
|
Child appears to think through action
Looks like an elongated run Little elevation Little forward trunk lean Stiff appearance Incomplete extension of legs during flight Arms used for balance rather than force production |
|
|
Leaping-Mature
|
Takeoff on one foot landing on the opposite
A period where both feet are off the ground Forward reach with the arm opposite the lead foot. |
|
|
Galloping-Initial
|
arrhythmical at a fast pace
often reverts to a run tail legs fails to remain behind and often contacts surface in front of lead leg -arms of little use in balance or force production |
|
|
Galloping-Elementary
|
-moderate tempo
-stiff movement -exaggerated vertical lift -feet contact in a heel-toe or toe-toe combination -arms slightly out to the side for balance |
|
|
Galloping-Mature
|
-arms bent and lifted to waist
-step forward with lead foot followed by trailing leg adjencent to or behind lead leg -brief period where feet are off the floor -able to lead with both feet -rhythmical pattern of 4 consecutive gallops |
|
|
Hopping-Initial
|
-non-support leg flexed 90 degrees or less
-body upright -arms flexed at elbows and help tightly to the side -little height or distance generated in a single hop -balance easily lost -limited to one or two hops |
|
|
Hopping-Elementary
|
-non-support leg is flexed
-slight forward lean with the trunk flexed at the hip -force is absorbed upon landing by flexing at the hip and supporting knee -arms move vigorously up and down -balance is poorly controlled -limited in the number of consecutive hops |
|
|
Hopping-Mature
|
-non-support leg swings like a pendulum
-non-support leg carried behind the body -arms swing forward on takeoff to produce force -able to hop on each foot 3 consecutive times |
