Kathleen, age 7, holds the small ball in both hands in front of her before swinging forward, then backward, with one hand and balancing on well-separated feet. as her arm swings forward and across her body, she rotates and leans into the throw. she moves her foot from the back to a forward position as she follows through the body movement and maintains her balance. what word best describes this movement

The correct answer is bilateral.

Explanation:

The tendency to use the left and the right sides of the body together at a similar time or with alternating movements is known as bilateral-coordination. For example, the movement of the body of a striker while playing a baseball game. The tendency to coordinate both the body sides together is an essential skill for various motor skills. The gross motor skills like climbing stairs, walking, skipping, jump rope, and many others need the skills of bilateral coordination.
