Praxis II Physical Education Exam Prep

Correct Response: C. With one count of movement, hopping is a more simple movement than skipping and enables students to learn to move with each beat when they are first being introduced to rhythmic locomotor movement. A skip involves a forward step and a hop in an uneven rhythmic pattern, and although it is more complex than hopping, changes in direction are possible (B). Both hopping and skipping can be executed as small, quiet, and controlled movements (A) or as larger, more energetic movements and both may be included as movements in many dance forms (D).
