Question

Moving by short leaps on one foot at a time.

Answer 1

The answer is:

Hopping.

Explanation:

Hopping is done by taking off on one foot and landing back on that same foot. Hopping is done in shorter intervals, meaning you usually don't travel large distances through a single hop. Hopping is categorized as short leaps for its small distance covered singularly, and each hop is done only on one foot.

(Think about if one of your feet/legs is injured or asleep. If you wanted to go from say the living room to the kitchen, but didn't wish to move that leg or foot, you would likely hop on one foot to get to the destination.)
