MOVEMENT ENHANCEMENT
GROUP 1
This PE-1 Movement Enhancement is one of the important
courses to develop and understand the scientific basic movements to help the
students to be aware of physical literacy, which help an individual to move
competently and confidently in all types of environments. This course is being
offered to prepare the students for the advance learning movement.
THE HUMAN MOVEMENT
The Human Movement - is the academic study of how human beings move
around, perform and exercise, especially in sport. Human Movement is the study of
how people move in different contexts and of the factors related to the analysis,
improvement and recovery of physical activity. The focus is on issues encountered
in physical activity in every-day life, related to work and free time, as well as
recreational and top-level sports.
Importance of Human Movement
 Human movement is important for increasing the strength of the muscles of
the body, which helps in the balance and coordination of the body.
 Human movement can help the bone to become denser, which increases its
durability.
 Human movement, like exercise, increases the range of motion of the joints
and makes them more flexible.
 The daily human movement can also help develop those regions of the brain
that are related to cognitive abilities as they begin to decline with growing
age.
 The human movement improves the heart rate and decreases the risk of heart
related problems like heart attack and heart failure.
Regular human movement improves the blood pressure.
THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
The skeletal system is a network of many different parts that work together to help
you move. The main part of your skeletal system consists of your bones, hard
structures that create your body's framework — the skeleton. There are 206 bones
in an adult human skeleton.
What does the skeletal system do?
• Allows movement: Your skeleton supports your body weight to help you stand
and move. Joints, connective tissue and muscles work together to make your body
parts mobile.
• Produces blood cells: Bones contain bone marrow. Red and white blood cells
are produced in the bone marrow.
• Protects and supports organs: Your skull shields your brain, your ribs protect
your heart and lungs, and your backbone protects your spine.
• Stores minerals: Bones hold your body’s supply of minerals like calcium and
vitamin D. What are the parts of the skeletal system?
• Periosteum: The periosteum is a tough membrane that covers and protects the
outside of the bone. • Compact bone: Below the periosteum, compact bone is
white, hard, and smooth. It provides structural support and protection.
• Spongy bone: The core, inner layer of the bone is softer than compact bone. It
has small holes called pores to store marrow.
The other components of your skeletal system include:
• Cartilage: smooth and flexible substance covers the tips of your bones where
they meet.
• Joints: A joint is where two or more bones in the body come together. There are
three different joint types. * Immovable joints * Partly movable joints * Movable
joints
• Ligaments: Bands of strong connective tissue called ligaments hold bones
together.
• Tendons: bands of tissue that connect the ends of a muscle to your bone.
THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Muscular System is an organ system responsible for providing strength, keeping
up the balance maintaining posture, allowing movement and producing heat.
There are 3 types of muscles in the body include:
• Skeletal muscle – are the only muscles that can be consciously controlled. They
are attached to bones, and contracting the muscles causes movement of those
bones.
• Smooth muscle – are mainly found in the body’s internal structures such as the
digestive tract and blood vessels. Unlike skeletal muscles, smooth muscles are
involuntary muscles.
• Cardiac muscle – stimulates its own contractions that form our heartbeat.
Signals from the nervous system control the rate of contraction. This type of
muscle is strong and acts involuntarily.
Different kinds of muscles help with:
•Breathing, speaking and swallowing.
•Digesting food and getting rid of waste.
•Moving, sitting still and standing up straight.
•Pumping blood through the heart and blood vessels.
•Pushing a baby through the birth canal as muscles in the uterus contract and relax.
•Seeing and hearing.
MOVEMENT PATTRENS
Movement patterns are fundamental components of physical activity, and they
form the basis for a wide range of exercises and activities. In this report, we will
explore the characteristics, benefits, and variations of the Giat, Combination,
Squat, and Lunge movement patterns
.
1. Giat- the Giat is a rotational movement pattern commonly used in sports like
baseball, golf, and tennis. It involves twisting the body to generate power and
torque.
Benefits: - Enhances rotational strength and power. - Improves sports
performance. - Engages core muscles and the lower back.
2. Combination- Combination movements involve integrating multiple movement
patterns into a single exercise, such as combining a squat with an overhead press.
Benefits: - Efficient use of time by targeting multiple muscle groups. - Enhances
functional strength. - Increases cardiovascular endurance.
3. Squat- The squat is a compound lower-body movement pattern that involves
bending at the hips and knees, simulating the action of sitting down and standing
up.
Benefits: - Develops lower body strength. - Engages muscles in the quadriceps,
hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. - Improves mobility and stability.
4. Lunge- This movement is one that we use when we have to step over an object,
getting up off the floor, and playing sports. To do it correctly, you will simply step
forward/backward with one foot while the back foot is stationary. From here, you
bend both knees until you reach the floor.
MOVEMENT PATTERNS
5. Bend - Bending is a movement pattern where you bend your torso by hinging
your hips
Bend Exercises:
 Russian kettle Swing
 Bent knee
6. Push- It is any movement where you push a load away from you or push your
own bodyweight away.
Push Exercises:
 Push-ups
 Shoulder press
7. Pull- Opposite of pushing pattern, focus on bringing the weight in towards you
and usually engages you back muscles.
Pull Exercises:
 Pull Ups
 Knee lift
8. Twist- this movement pattern category is about both your ability to twist and
your ability to resist rotation.
Twist Exercises:
 Standing Oblique Twist
 Russian Twist
