Planes and axes of movement
Planes are the imaginary flat surface that divides the body into sections
These include these 3......
The sagittal plane:
Divides the body from top to bottom (vertically) resulting in a left and a right side.
Actions that work along the sagittal plane involve moving forwards or backwards.
Examples include:
Walking
Sprinting/ jogging
Forward somersault.
Transverse Plane
The transverse plate
-Divides the body across the middle, giving and top section and bottom section.
-Actions that work along the transverse plane involve spinning/ rotating.
-Full twist (trampolining)
-Pirouette (ballet/ figure skating)
-Hammer/ Discus throw

And axes is an imaginary straight line that we rotate around
Frontal axis
Frontal Axis
-Runs from side to side.
-Actions that occur around the frontal axis are forward of backward movements.
-Examples include
Sprinting/ jogging
Forward somersault (diving/ trampolining)
