Component 1 ( Planes And Axes Of Movements): Soc 21

Question 1

What is the term ‘plane’?

Answer 1

“Direction of movement” - imaginary flat surface dividing the human body into sections

Question 2

What are the three planes of motions?

Answer 2

• sagittal plane
• frontal plane
• transverse plane

Question 3

What is the frontal plane?

Answer 3

-Runs vertically
-Divides the body into front and back
-Abduction and Adduction (side to side) movements
-Takes place with sagittal axis

Question 4

What is the transverse plane?

Answer 4

-Runs vertically
-Divides the body top to bottom
-Creates rotation movement
-Takes place about the vertical axis

Question 5

What is axis?

Answer 5

Joints that rotates around axes allows movement to take place something that turns

Question 6

What is frontal axis?

Answer 6

-Turns horizontal from side to side
- Perpendicular to the sagittal plane

Question 7

What is the sagittal axes?

Answer 7

-Runs horizontal from front to back
-Perpendicular to the frontal plane

Question 8

What is the vertical axes?

Answer 8

-Runs verticall opposite
-Perpendicular to the transverse plane

Question 9

Example sport for sagittal plane and frontal axes?

Answer 9

Front or back somersault

Question 10

Example sport for frontal plane and sagittal axes?

Answer 10

Cartwheel

Question 11

Example sport for Transverse plane and vertical axes?

Answer 11

Pirouette

Question 12

What is the sagittal plane?

Answer 12

-Runs vertically from front to back
-Divides the body into right and left parts
-Flexsion and exstension (forward and backwards) movement
-Movement of the sagittal plane take place about the frontal axis
