Fundamental+Movement+Skills



**__OVERVIEW __** Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are common motor activities with specific observable patterns. Most skills used in sports and movement activities are advanced versions of FMS. Children normally develop motor skills in a sequential manner. FMS comprise one level in the continuum of motor skill acquisition. Children at the fundamental movement skill stage are building upon previously learned movements and preparing for the acquisition of more advanced skills. Mastery of these skills by children is necessary if optimum development of higher-level skills is to occur. Children who do not master these skills are less able and often less willing to persist with learning more complex motor skills, and will avoid activities which expose them to failure. Ultimately, such children often reject participation in physical activity as part of their lifestyle.
