Running
Running is a similar action to walking except there is a moment of suspension called 'flight phase' (when both feet are both off the ground). A runner gains momentum by driving and forcing the back leg off the ground. The greater the force is applied to the right direction, the faster the runner.

Jumping
1. Jumping for height, or the vertical jump, involves jumping as high as possible from a standing position. In order to achieve maximum height, it is important that the legs and arms work together to generate as much force as possible. Jumping for height can be applied in a range of contexts, such as gymnastics, dance, jumping for a ball in volleyball, basketball and Gaelic football, or attempting to get something down from the top shelf in the kitchen.

2. Jumping for distance, or the horizontal jump, involves jumping forwards as far as possible from two feet, landing on two feet. This jump is important in identifying a pupil’s ability to use timing and rhythm to successfully coordinate both legs and arms, which dictates the distance of the jump. Jumping for distance plays a considerable role in many playground games such as hopscotch, and is a core skill of both gymnastics and dance. It is also a baseline skill used in a range of sport specific activities such as long jump, triple jump and aquatics.

Throwing
The manipulative skill of throwing goes hand in hand with catching, and involves propelling an object away from the body. This important fundamental movement skill has many variations, including the underhand throw, overhand throw, roll and the two handed throw. This resource focuses on the overhand throw, as many of its principles may be applied to the other variations. Concepts such as weight transference, generating force, developing a swinging motion and momentum are all important when learning to throw. The skill is used in a wide range of activities such as throwing a javelin, serving in volleyball, chest pass in basketball, rolling in lawn bowls, pitching in baseball or throwing a paper airplane.

Catching
Catching is a manipulative skill that is closely associated with throwing, yet extremely different in nature. Relying on the ability of the eye to track an object, the skill involves absorbing and controlling the force of the object with a part of the body, usually the hands. Balance is also fundamental to the skill of catching--a wide and low stable base is necessary along with positioning the body in line with the flight of the object. Good balance is essential for successful catching in the early stages of development. The ability to catch is vital in order to play a wide range of games such as Gaelic football, basketball, rugby, hurling, baseball, rhythmic gymnastics and playground games. A pupil’s inability to catch becomes evident to their peers extremely quickly, so plenty of opportunities to play and practice with objects of different sizes is essential to develop proficiency.
