Movement is one of the significant features of all living beings.
It is a fundamental aspect of human life. It affects everything from
circulation to digestion to metabolism to immunity. The body
contributes far more to our life than just physical attributes such as
strength and endurance. It plays an indispensable role in emotions,
learning and relationships.
In Physical education we learn to move and we move to learn.
Move to learn is the context of physical activity as the means for
learning, while learn to move embodies the learning of skills,
and techniques and the acquisition of understanding that are
requisites to participation in a variety of physical activities that
include exercise, games, sports, dance and recreation. The best way
therefore to improve movement is to move.
Movement competencies are essential to participate in physical
activity. If movements are not developed or nurtured from young
age, this can lead to inactivity and the health and social problems
linked to it.
Movement competence is the development of sufficient skill
to assure successful performance of different physical activities.
Movement competency on the other hand is the ability to move
free from dysfunction or pain.
Movement competency training starting from locomotor to
non-locomotor to mobility training are vital for the development of
one's strength, endurance, flexibility, power and balance. Mobility
training combines mobility exercise that increase the range of
movements and motions your body can perform.
Mobility is one attribute of fitness. Fitness can be achieved
through mobility training which increases the motion with joints
and surrounding muscles, recover faster and perform better.
