Basic movement skills using equipment in play and simple
games: ·
play chasing games in the water using a kickboard for
support ·
roll a ball for accuracy or for distance ·

marker ·

ball ·
move to intercept a ball and to gain possession |
Effects on the body of participating in physical activity: ·
low intensity - little noticeable change in the body;
shallow breathing, regular heartbeat ·
medium intensity - faster, deeper breathing and faster
heart rate ·
high intensity - faster, stronger heartbeat; deeper,
fuller breathing; heavy, tired arm or leg muscles; higher body temperature;
perspiration Physical activities of varying intensities: ·
low intensity, e.g. walking, floating, balancing, climbing
slowly ·
medium intensity, e.g. jogging, dancing, moving at a
comfortable, rhythmic pace through the water ·
high intensity, e.g. running quickly, aerobic dance,
moving powerfully through the water, continuously skipping with a rope |
Reasons for choices of physical activity: ·
excitement ·
improvement of balance and skill ·
fitness ·
competition ·
to socialise ·
relaxation and enjoyment ·
being part of a team and with friends ·
being like a ‘hero’ ·
having playing area close to home ·
