Study Hub
Study Guides
This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
This unit will develop skills in isolation and in combination with other techniques as part of a sequence of movements. To demonstrate control, aesthetics and fluency pupils will analyse and provide feedback to their peers. Pupils will also learn the basics about the axes of rotation.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to perform a seat landing and explore ways to develop complexity.
Key Notes
- Move: hinging at the hips when hitting the peak of the jump allows time to prepare for the seated position.
- Move: bringing your arms up and over in swivel hips helps create momentum to guide the rotation and stabilise the move.
- Think: awareness to keep the legs straight and forward for an efficient rotation.
- Feel: being in control with good spatial awareness and timing comes from repeated practice and determination.
- Connect: listening carefully to the feedback from others helps nurture friendships.
Vocabulary To Learn
- seat landing: landing on the trampoline in a seated position with your legs extended and hands placed either side
- swivel hips: is a skill where the athlete performs a seat landing, then twists 180 degrees to land back in a seat landing, facing the opposite direction
- axis of rotation: refers to the imaginary line around which a gymnast's body rotates.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils think you need to drop backwards and/or lift the legs upwards to achieve a seated position.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: hinging at the hips when hitting the peak of the jump allows time to prepare for the seated position. Move: bringing your arms up and over in swivel hips helps create momentum to guide the rotation and stabilise the move.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'seat landing'
landing on the trampoline in a seated position with your legs extended and hands placed either side.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils think you need to drop backwards and/or lift the legs upwards to achieve a seated position. Correction: This will lead to being off balance and not allow any progressions from the seat landing. The key to the correct technique is to avoid lifting the legs and jump upwards with a hinge at the hip to then land downwards.
