Movement concepts are often taught with non-locomotor skills. Which of the following is a movement concept?

• A. Personal space
• B. Levels
• C. Directions
• D. Relationships with body

Answer: (A)

Movement concepts include how we relate to space, our bodies, and the way we move within an environment. Personal space is the movement concept that describes the space around a person and how you manage boundaries with others during movement, which is a key part of space awareness used with non-locomotor activities. Recognizing and adjusting this space helps students plan safe, coordinated movements without traveling. While levels (height), directions (where to move), and relationships with body (how body parts relate) are related ideas in movement, personal space most directly embodies the space-awareness concept central to this question.
