Soc 21: Planes And Axis Of Movement

Question 1

The sagittal plane

Answer 1

Runs vertucally from fromt to back and divides body in left and right parts
Allows flexion and extension, eg: bicep curl, running, kicking a ball
Takes olace in a frontal axis

Question 2

The frontal plane

Answer 2

Divides the body from front and back, resulting in a front side and a back side- adduction and abduction takes place at a sagittal axis

Question 3

Transverse plane

Answer 3

divides the body across the middle (horizontally),
giving a top section (also known as ‘superior’) and a bottom section (‘inferior) - rotation

Question 4

Frontal axis

Answer 4

runs from side to side - this allows flexion and extension)
Eg somersualt

Question 5

Sagittal axis

Answer 5

runs from front to back - allows abduction and adduction)
Eg a catrwheel

Question 6

Vertical axis

Answer 6

runs from top to bottom, - allows rotation of the body in an upright position)
Eg a pirouette

Question 7

Wich axis the sagittal plane (flex and ext) work with?

Answer 7

Frontal axis (flex and ext
Soorting example - front somersault

Question 8

Which axis dpes the frontal plane work with (abd and add)

Answer 8

Sagittal axis (add and abb)
Sporting example - cartwheel

Question 9

What axis does the transverse plane (rotation) work with

Answer 9

Vertical axis (rotation)
Sporting example - trampoline twist

Question 10

Front somersualt, sagittal plane + frontal axis

Answer 10

-moves forward left and right side moving together in same position - sagittal plane
Body bends on line that runs horizontally from side to side - frontal axis

Question 11

Cartwheeel, frontal plane + sagittal axis

Answer 11

Moves sideways left to right - frontal plane
Body rotates around line from front to back - sagittal axis

Question 12

Trampoline twist, transverse plane + vertical axis

Answer 12

Key movement isn’t up or down or side to side but around one spot - transverse plane
Twist around in invisible line running from head to toe - vertical axis
