1. Planes and Axes of Movement Flashcards
What are the three main planes of movement?
Sagittal plane, frontal plane, and transverse plane.
True or False: The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves.
True.
Fill in the blank: The ________ plane divides the body into front and back sections.
frontal
What is the primary axis of rotation for the frontal plane?
Sagittal axis.
Which plane of movement is associated with rotational movements?
Transverse plane.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following movements occurs in the sagittal plane? A) Abduction B) Flexion C) Rotation
B) Flexion.
What is the axis of rotation for the sagittal plane?
Frontal axis.
True or False: The transverse plane allows for movements such as twisting.
True.
Fill in the blank: Movements like jumping jacks occur in the ________ plane.
frontal
What type of movements occur in the transverse plane?
Rotational movements.
Multiple Choice: Which axis is associated with the transverse plane? A) Vertical axis B) Frontal axis C) Sagittal axis
A) Vertical axis.
What is the significance of understanding planes and axes of movement in PE?
It helps in analyzing and improving performance in physical activities.
True or False: The frontal plane allows for movements such as flexion and extension.
False.
What movements are primarily associated with the frontal plane?
Abduction and adduction.
Fill in the blank: The ________ axis runs from front to back in the body.
sagittal
