Planes And Axes Flashcards
Somersault
Saggital plane flex and ext = front axis
Cartwheel
Frontal plane (abd and add) = saggital axis
Trampoline twist
Transverse plane (rotation)= vertical axis (rotation trampoline twist
How many planes used to describe movement
Three different planes
Saggitar plane
Divide the body from top to bottom
Frontal plane
Also divides from top to bottom
What movements occur around a somersault
You move forward with your left and right sides moving together in the same direction in the saggital plane and your body bends on a line that runs horizontally from side to side around your frontal axis.
What movements occur in a cartwheel
You move sideways from right to left or left to right in the frontal plane
Your body rotates around a line that runs from the front to the back of your body around your saggital axis
Somersault
She faces forward with arms held upwards
She leans foward lifts her seat and tucks it in tightly holding the position with hands on her shins as she jumps
She releases her legs extends them and stretching out her body
She raises her arms to slow down the rotation and lands
Twist jump
The key movement is not up or down or from side to side but around one spot in the tranverse plane
They twist around and invisible line that runs from head to toe around the vertical axis
