General Motor Ability

This activity involved several different task that allowed for us to test our balance. These activities included standing on one leg, balancing on our heels, jumping side-to-side and landing on one foot, jumping forward and landing on the ball of one foot, and walking in a straight line with a book on our heads.

We had six participants in our group and had a number of different results. Five out of the six people got first place at least once on select activities. Every activity was scored based on the place in which the participant finished. Both first and second were very close in their total number of points, but the rest were far behind. The scores are as follows:

Kara: 8
Caysie: 10
Melissa: 19
Caitlin: 24
Jenny: 25
Emma:26

It was very interesting to see who had the best balance and who had the worst. Our group had a variety of people ranging from tall to short and nonathletic to athletic. Naturally the cheerleader of the group finished first followed by a golfer.
