  • 2. 

    Running?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Locomotor
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "locomotor" because running is a type of movement that involves the use of limbs to propel the body forward. Locomotor movements are characterized by the ability to change one's position in space. Non-locomotor movements, on the other hand, are stationary or do not involve changing position. Since running involves changing position and requires the use of limbs, it falls under the category of locomotor movements.

    Walking?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Locomotor
    Explanation
    The question is asking for a classification of an activity, and the correct answer is "locomotor." Locomotor activities involve movement from one place to another, such as walking, running, or jumping. Non-locomotor activities, on the other hand, are stationary movements that do not involve traveling, such as stretching or bending. Since the question specifically mentions "walking," which is a type of locomotor activity, it can be inferred that the correct answer is "locomotor."

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Stretching?

    • Locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-locomotor
  • 5.

    A. Non-locomotor
  • 6. 

    Leaping?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Locomotor
    Explanation
    The word "leaping" is associated with movement and implies that it is a locomotor action. Locomotor actions involve moving from one place to another, such as walking, running, or jumping. Non-locomotor actions, on the other hand, are movements that are performed while staying in one place, such as bending or stretching. Therefore, "locomotor" is the correct answer as it accurately describes the action of leaping.

    Sliding?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Locomotor
    Explanation
    The question is asking for a term that describes a type of movement. "Locomotor" is the correct answer because it refers to movement that involves traveling from one place to another, such as walking, running, or sliding. "Non-locomotor" refers to movements that are stationary or do not involve traveling, such as bending, stretching, or twisting.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Twisting?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-locomotor
    Explanation
    The term "twisting" is associated with non-locomotor movements. Non-locomotor movements are actions that are performed while staying in one place, such as twisting, bending, or stretching. Locomotor movements, on the other hand, involve the movement of the body from one place to another, such as walking, running, or jumping. Therefore, "non-locomotor" is the correct answer as it accurately describes the type of movement associated with the term "twisting".

    Skipping?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Locomotor
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "locomotor" because the term "locomotor" refers to movements that involve changing the position of the body from one place to another. This type of movement requires the use of muscles and joints to propel the body forward or backward, or to move it in any direction. On the other hand, "non-locomotor" movements are stationary movements that do not involve changing the position of the body, such as stretching, bending, or twisting.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Lifting?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-locomotor
    Explanation
    The given answer "non-locomotor" is the correct answer because the term "lifting" refers to a movement that does not involve changing one's position in space. Non-locomotor movements are stationary movements that involve only one body part or the whole body, such as lifting an object without moving from one place to another. Locomotor movements, on the other hand, involve changing one's position in space, such as walking or running. Therefore, "non-locomotor" is the appropriate category for the action of lifting.

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-locomotor
  • 12. 

    Carrying?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-locomotor
    Explanation
    The term "carrying" refers to the action of transporting or moving something from one place to another. In the context of locomotor and non-locomotor movements, carrying is considered a non-locomotor movement. Non-locomotor movements involve actions that do not result in the movement of the whole body from one place to another, but rather involve movements of specific body parts or objects while the body remains stationary. Therefore, carrying falls under the category of non-locomotor movements.

    Pushing - 

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Locomotor
    Explanation
    Locomotor skills involve moving from one place to another. Pushing is a locomotor skill because it involves applying force to an object to move it, and often, the person doing the pushing also moves along with the object.

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Locomotor
    Explanation
    The given question is incomplete and unclear. However, based on the options provided, "locomotor" seems to be the correct answer. Locomotor movements refer to actions that involve the movement of the body from one place to another, such as running, jumping, or walking. Since "jumping" is a type of movement that involves the body moving from one place to another, it can be categorized as a locomotor movement.

    Kicking?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-locomotor
    Explanation
    The term "kicking" refers to a specific movement or action that involves the use of the legs to strike or hit something. This action does not involve any form of movement from one place to another, but rather focuses on the act of striking. Therefore, "kicking" falls under the category of non-locomotor movements, which are actions performed while staying in one place.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Pulling?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-locomotor
    Explanation
    The term "pulling" refers to an action of applying force to move an object towards oneself. This action does not involve any movement or change in position of the person performing it. Therefore, "pulling" is categorized as a non-locomotor movement, which refers to movements that do not result in a change of location.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Striking?

    • Locomotor

    • Non-locomotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-locomotor
    Explanation
    The term "striking" refers to an action or movement that involves hitting or making forceful contact with something. In this context, "non-locomotor" refers to movements that do not involve changing the position of the body in space. Striking is a non-locomotor movement because it involves a specific action (hitting) but does not require the body to move from one place to another.
