Movement Skills Certification

Movement is a behaviour, influenced by task (e.g. speed, load), personal (e.g. fitness, confidence) and environmental (e.g. group, space) constraints. This certification workshop will provide students with a framework and series of practical tools to improve their movement behaviour (which includes their fundamental movement skills). An opportunity will also be provided for students to observe, coach and provide feedback to their peers.

This workshop involves 3 modules, each touching on multiple factors that will influence physical literacy. Specific learning objectives include:

Module 1 – Physical “Education” (Unstructured vs Structured Activity)
  1. Highlight the benefits of unstructured and structured activities
  2. Build active environments to develop physical literacy
  3. Improve the confidence and competence to move
Module 2 – Movement Variability (Finding New Movement Solutions)
  1. Highlight the role of constraints in shaping movement behaviour
  2. Learn to use movement variability to your advantage
  3. Emphasize the benefits of collaborative and competitive environments
Module 3 – Movement Specificity (Transfer of Training to Sport)
  1. Highlight the role of sport specific training and deliberate practice
  2. Improving physical literacy to facilitate the transfer of training
  3. Emphasize the role of motivation and a growth mindset
What to Expect from the Workshop

Students will participate in a series of small and large group experiential activities that highlight the role of structured and unstructured activity in the development of Fundamental Movement Skills.

How Long is the Workshop

3 hours (Three 1-hour practical modules)

Kindness can improve happiness. Dopamine is releas Kindness can improve happiness. Dopamine is released in our brain in response to acts of kindness, which can improve our mood. Help others to help yourself.

Kindness can improve heart health. Witnessing acts of kindness can produce oxytocin which helps to lower blood pressure. Lead with compassion, follow with kindness.

Kindness can improve relationships. Kindness can strengthen our connection to others and help to build new relationships. Small gestures will go a long way.

Kindness is contagious. The positive effects of kindness have been shown to be experienced by everyone who witnesses the act. Be kind, and others are likely to follow.

Combine static and dynamic activities to challenge Combine static and dynamic activities to challenge your active mobility!

Restricting motion in one limb while the other moves freely can change the distribution of joint loads, alter whole-body stability (balance), and make it much more challenging to control specific joint positions.

Although our reasons to be active can be quite per Although our reasons to be active can be quite personal, we are often drawn to and motivated by the stories of others who have transformed their lives with exercise.

Special thanks to the fire fighter from local 1075 for allowing us to share his personal story with the Fit To Thrive community! #bettertogether

“As a firefighter I am constantly surrounded by reminders of why fitness matters. Heavy gear, hard work, and long shifts take a toll on our bodies. 

In 2017, I was transferred to a new shift and invited on a morning run. I said sure before asking what I was agreeing to.

It wasn’t an epic run where we lay down Olympic times, but I can honestly say I had never felt so energized. My mind was clear, my body felt great, and I didn’t even start work for another hour. 

The physical fitness aspects are all obvious, but what I hadn’t realized at the time was how much I would come to need and crave that run. It is my favourite way to start the day.

The routes vary, the pace is usually set by the slowest person, and there’s usually lots of chatter. Sometimes it’s just a quick mention. Sometimes it takes the full run. But then we go off to our respective stations. I’m physically warmed up but more importantly I’m mentally focused and calm.

I feel the stress and distraction that comes with a busy life is lessened. The calm start provides an opportunity to establish the mood and tone for the day. And that mood and tone carries over to my crew and the public interactions I have. The mental health benefits are incredible. 

The fresh start to the day, with a good push of your heart rate has helped me through some very tough times, and that has had a tremendously positive impact on me and my family.”
