What Are Manipulative Motor Skills?
Operational skills are the basic motor skills for controlling equipment. The body must actively exert force on the device or cushion the impact force of the device when controlling and receiving incoming objects. Such actions include throwing, receiving, kicking, and hitting.

Operational skills concept
- Operational skills are the basic motor skills for controlling equipment. The body must actively exert force on the device or cushion the impact of the device when controlling and receiving incoming objects. Such actions include throwing, catching, kicking, dribbling, passing, hitting, and intercepting.
Main types of operational skills
- 1. Throwing action can be divided into low hand throw, sideways throw and overhand throw. One of the most common forms is hands-on casting. The starting action of the throw is to hold the ball or the instrument in your hand. The body turns to throw the opposite side of the gymnastics towards the throwing direction. At the same time, holding the ball arm leads to the rear of the body. The center of gravity of the body falls behind the throwing arm and the upper arm is at the elbow joint. Bend everywhere. When throwing forcefully, the elbow joint should guide the force of the upper limbs, and at the same time support the foot forward, the hip joint should rotate forward, and throw the ball or instrument under the joint force of the lower limbs, waist and upper limbs. Finally, the upper arm continued to follow the swing direction and then dropped.
- 2. Holding is the use of a hand to control the movement of the instrument. When an object approaches, the body must quickly make a judgment, where to control it, and move the body to the same line as the object, and at the same time reach out to make an effective grip. When doing the action, the eyes must keep an eye on the incoming object. While grasping with both hands, the upper arm and hand should actively pull the object towards the body to cushion the impact of the incoming object.
- 3. Kick is the force exerted by feet and legs on objects. Kicking stationary objects is the simplest action, while kicking moving objects and kicking suspended objects is relatively complicated. When doing a kicking action, the support foot should be placed on the side of the object, the knee joint of the swing leg should be bent, and the hip joint should be used as an axial object to make an arc swing. When the foot touches the object, the knee joint is straightened. After kicking the object, the swinging leg should continue to swing in the kicking direction, while the upper limbs are relaxed.
- 4. The process of applying force to a stationary or moving object through a part of the body (hand) or a certain device (racket bat) held during a strike. The length, shape, weight, and characteristics of the object being used determine the different characteristics of the striking action. The aforementioned kicking action can also be regarded as a type of hitting action. Take a baseball batting action as an example. When hitting the ball, the body should stand perpendicular to the direction of the incoming ball, with your feet apart from front to back about the same width as the shoulders. Forward rotation, the center of gravity moves to the front foot in the direction of the ball, while the hip joint is the leader, turning the torso, the upper limbs struggling to hit the ball, and perform a natural, stretching follow-up motion.
