Plane And Axis Flashcards
(12 cards)
What are the three planes of movement in sport?
The three planes of movement are:
* Sagittal plane
* Frontal plane
* Transverse plane
The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves, the frontal plane divides it into front and back halves, and the transverse plane divides it into upper and lower halves.
What is the primary action occurring in the sagittal plane?
Flexion and extension
Movements like bicep curls and squats occur in the sagittal plane.
What movements are associated with the frontal plane?
Abduction and adduction
Movements like lateral raises and jumping jacks occur in the frontal plane.
Which movements take place in the transverse plane?
Rotation movements
Examples include twisting and turning actions, such as in golf swings.
Fill in the blank: The _______ plane divides the body into left and right halves.
sagittal plane
True or False: The frontal plane is responsible for flexion and extension.
False
The frontal plane is responsible for abduction and adduction, while the sagittal plane is responsible for flexion and extension.
What are the axes of movement in sport?
The three axes of movement are:
* Frontal axis
* Sagittal axis
* Longitudinal axis
Each axis corresponds to a specific plane of movement. For example, the frontal axis aligns with the sagittal plane.
Which axis is associated with the frontal plane?
Sagittal axis
Movements around the sagittal axis involve abduction and adduction.
Which axis is associated with the sagittal plane?
Frontal axis
Movements around the frontal axis involve flexion and extension.
Which axis is associated with the transverse plane?
Longitudinal axis
Movements around the longitudinal axis involve rotation.
Fill in the blank: The _______ axis is involved in rotational movements.
longitudinal
True or False: The sagittal plane allows for lateral movements.
False
The sagittal plane primarily allows for forward and backward movements, not lateral movements which occur in the frontal plane.
