Figure 5.3: What do the fundamental movement skills look like?<br />
A range of fundamental movement skills are outlined for each category i.e. stability, locomotor and<br />
manipulative, in the tables below.<br />
Stability skills<br />
The order in which stability skills develop is stretch, bend, twist and balance 22 .<br />
Summary description<br />
Stretch 22<br />
Extends the body, it’s parts and one or several joints<br />
vertically, horizontally, or to any point in between.<br />
Key points<br />
• Arms, legs, torso and neck can all stretch<br />
• Can be done while standing, sitting, kneeling or lying<br />
Summary description<br />
Bend 22<br />
Uses body joints (ball and socket or hinge) to bring two<br />
adjacent parts of the body together, generally towards<br />
the centre of the body.<br />
Key points<br />

bend e.g. arms, fingers, legs and neck<br />
• Bending and stretching are natural partners as once a<br />
body part is bent, it must straighten again<br />
