Q

Characteristics of the frontal plane

A
  • The frontal plane splits the body into front and back
    (F for Frontal = Front & Back)
  • Any sideways movement in line with the frontal plane occurs here
  • Movements: Adduction & Abduction

Q

Characteristics of the sagittal plane

A
  • The sagittal plane splits the body into a right and left side
    (S for Sagittal = Side & Side)

Why is movement analysis helpful?
It can help improve sports performance by improving the efficiency of sporting movements, and identifying how technique could be improved.
46
When analysing movement you should refer to: …?
When analysing movement you should refer to: - the movement produced - the plane of movement - the axis of movement - the type of muscle contraction taking place
47
Kicking backswing, movement analysis example:
Movement produced: - Flexion (knee), Plantar Flexion (ankle) Plane of movement: - Sagittal Axis of movement: - Transverse Muscle contraction taking place: - Isotonic Concentric
