Topic on a page - planes & axis of movement Flashcards
what is a plane
an imaginary line that movement direction occurs in
what is an axis
a line about which the body part can turn
what are the three planes
frontal
sagittal
transverse
what are the three axis
sagittal
transverse
longitudinal
what is a frontal plane
separates the front and back of the body
what is a sagittal plane
separates the left and the right side of the body
what is a transverse plane
separates the top and the bottom of the body
what is a sagittal axis
goes from the front to the back of the body
what is a transverse axis
goes from one side to the other side of the body
what is a longitudinal axis
goes from the top of the body to the bottom of the body
which planes and axes go together
frontal plane and sagittal axis - From Side to side
sagittal plane and transverse axis - SquaT
transverse plane and longitudinal axis - TwirL

analysis of movement in a somersault
ankle= hinge joint - plantar flexion
knee = hinge joint - extension
hip = ball and socket - flexion
analysis of movement in cricket bowling
shoulder = ball and socket joint - rotation
hip = ball and socket - flexion
knee = hinge joint - flexion
ankle = hinge joint - plantar flexion
