9. Sequence of movements Many skills need a sequence of movements to take place under control. The movements should flow one after the other with rhythm . Getting the timing of these movements right needs co-ordination.

10. Sequence of movements cont. For example:- sequence of movements means two or more actions linked together, one after the other under control means you are in charge of your actions and you are not out of control flow means moves are linked together smoothly rhythm means a regular pattern of actions

11. Sequence of movements cont. Co-ordination is the ability of your brain and muscles to work together. Your brain uses your senses then decides what should be done. Poor co-ordination means that your movements may be out of control and the movements will not flow. A fosbury flop (high jump technique) is made up of a sequence of movements that are linked together. At the preparation stage muscle tension keeps the body upright. Good co-ordination of the muscles allows the movements to flow one after the other. The sequence of the run changes on the last stride as the performer drives up and over the bar (action stage) to land on the mats (recovery stage).
