Carlos is an outfielder on a baseball team. During a game, a ball flies through the air into the outfield where it lands on the ground. As it rolls toward Carlos, he drops into a sitting position to pick up the ball. Then he stands and runs several steps toward second base. Finally, he stretches out his arm to throw the ball to the second baseman, so that a runner can be tagged out.Which movement patterns does Carlos complete in this scenario?
Answer
A
He does a hinge, a gait, and then a pull.
B
He does a squat, a gait, and then a push.
C
He does a squat, a lunge, and then a pull.
D
He does a hinge, a lunge, and then a push.
Explanation
Dropping into a sitting position to pick up the ball uses a squat movement pattern. Running several steps toward second base is a gait pattern. Extending his arm to throw the ball is a push, so the sequence is a squat, a gait, and then a push.
