Why is Physical Literacy Important?
If a child misses out on learning fundamental movement skills, or has a negative physical education experience, they are unlikely to chose to take part in a sport activity that requires expertise in that skill

Developmentally Appropriate Skills
Teaching a five-year old to use an overhand throw for accuracy by asking him/her to stand 10m away and throw a regulation size softball to a small target
Giving him/her a smaller ball, standing him/her closer to a larger target• This creates greater success and better
skill proficiency Ever Active Schools: A Taste of FMS

FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLSFUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS
FMS Defined
• A common motor activity with specific movement patterns … which form the foundation for more advanced and specific movement activities (p. 253)
Gabbard, C. P. (2000). Lifelong motor development. Toronto: Allyn & Bacon
Ever Active Schools: A Taste of FMS
Why Are FMS Important?
• Fundamental Movement Skills: Are the basic building blocks for the
overall development of physical literacy
Are critical for children to become competent in sporting activities
Without them, many children and youth choose to withdraw from sport

Categories of FMS
• FMS include:
• Stability skills: includes the ability to sense a shift in the body and adjust for it
• Locomotor skills: consist of total body movement
• Object manipulation: a force given or
receivedEver Active Schools: A Taste of FMS
FMS Progression
• There is typically a developmental progression amongst the skills
• Children must master certain stability skills before they can progress onto locomotor skills (Stopping involves stability)
• Manipulative skills are generally the last to emerge

The Phases of Movement
Four Phases1.Preparation2.Force production3.Critical instant4.Follow-through/Recovery
Key Ideas Use all the body parts (joints) that can be used Use them through as great a range of motion as
is naturally possible Critical instant is the moment of release Follow through in the direction you want the
“force” to go
