Question

Look at the picture of the girl skipping a rope and the boy running. Observe their movements.

Which parts of their body are involved in the movement? Is the movement in the both the cases are same?

Accepted Answer

Movement is the change in the relative position of the body part, whereas locomotion is the movement of the whole body of the animal from one place to another. Animals not only move from one place to another they also move their body parts such as the movement of hands or legs, movement of the neck, etc.

Skipping and running involves the movement of hands and legs for their act.

The arms and legs move forward while running and it mainly uses sagittal movements. Weight be projected forward and the legs are carried alternately under the body for the support and the centre of the bodyweight has passed over it. Skipping or jumping is the act of propelling the body into the air through rapid leg extension.
