planes and axis of movement

What is a plane of movement?

An imaginary flat surface that runs through the body.

How many planes of movement are there?

Three: Sagittal Plane, Transverse Plane, and Frontal Plane.

What does the Sagittal Plane divide?

The body into left and right sides.

What does the Transverse Plane divide?

The body into top and bottom.

What does the Frontal Plane divide?

The body's front and back.

What is an axis of rotation?

An imaginary line that runs through the body around which movement occurs.

How many axes of rotation are there?

Three: Frontal Axis, Transverse Axis, and Longitudinal Axis.

What does the Frontal Axis run through?

From front to back of the body.

What does the Transverse Axis run through?

From left to right of the body.

What does the Longitudinal Axis run through?

From top to bottom of the body.

What plane and axis are used in flexion/extension movements?

Sagittal Plane and Transverse Axis.

What plane and axis are used in abduction/adduction movements?

Frontal Plane and Frontal Axis.

What plane and axis are used in rotation movements?

Transverse Plane and Longitudinal Axis.

Give an example of a movement in the Sagittal Plane.

Running or a forward roll.

Give an example of a movement in the Frontal Plane.

A cartwheel.

Give an example of a movement in the Transverse Plane.

A full twist jump in trampolining.

What is the relationship between planes of movement and axes of rotation?

Movements in a specific plane always occur around a specific axis.

What is the importance of learning plane and axis pairs?

They are essential for understanding body movements and can help in exams.

What is the plane of movement and axis of rotation used during a star jump?

Frontal Plane and Frontal Axis.
