Physical Education:
Movement Skills and Movement Knowledge
1.Students demonstrate knowledge of and competency in motor skills,
movement patterns, and strategies needed to perform a variety of
physical activities.
1.1 Combine and apply movement patterns, simple to complex, in aquatic,
rhythms/dance, and individual and dual activities.
1.2 Demonstrate proficient movement skills in aquatic, rhythms/dance, and
individual and dual activities.
1.3 Identify, explain, and apply the skill-related components of balance,
reaction time, agility, coordination, explosive power, and speed that
enhance performance levels in aquatic, rhythms/dance, and individual and
dual activities.
1.4 Explain and demonstrate advanced offensive, defensive, and transition
strategies in aquatic and individual and dual activities.
1.5 Explain the use of the principles of biomechanics (leverage, force,
inertia, rotary motion, opposition, and buoyancy); apply the principles to achieve advanced performance in aquatic, rhythms/dance, and individual and dual activities; and evaluate the performance based on the use of the
principles.
1.6 Examine the physical, emotional, cognitive, and scientific factors that
affect performance and explain the relationship between those factors.
1.7 Analyze and evaluate feedback from proprioception, from others, and from
the performance of complex motor (movement) activities to improve
performance in aquatic, rhythms/dance, individual activities, and dual
activities.
1.8 Analyze and explain which training and conditioning practices have the
greatest impact on skill acquisition and performance in aquatic,
rhythms/dance, and individual and dual activities.
1.9 Create or modify practice/training plans based on evaluative feedback of
skill acquisition and performance in aquatic, rhythms/dance, and
individual and dual activities.
1.10 Analyze situations and determine appropriate strategies for improved
performance in aquatic, rhythms/dance, and individual and dual activities.
1.11 Assess the effect/outcome of a particular performance strategy in
aquatic, rhythms/dance, and individual and dual activities.
1.12 Demonstrate independent learning of movement skills.
