- Planes Of Movement And Axis Of Rotation
- a plane is a imaginary line or surface that divides the body into two - movement occurs in a plane
- an axis is an imaginary line around which the body rotates
- The frontal axis passes through the body from the front to the back. EXAMPLE, performonga cartwheel.
- The longitudinal axis passes vertically through the body, allowing rotation in an upright position.
- FOR EXAMPLE, a full twist by a trampolinist and pirouette by an ice skater occur in the transverse plane and longitudinal axis.
- The transverse axis passes horizontallythrough the body from left to right.
- FOR EXAMPLE, a front or back somersault in trampolining, diving or gymnastics ( allows movement to occur in the sagittal plane around the transverse axis
- The transverse plane divides the body into upper and Lower sections. (movements occur around the longitudinal axis.
- The frontal plane divides the body into front and back sections (movements occur around the frontal axis)
- The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right sections. (movements occur around the transverse axis
- an axis is an imaginary line around which the body rotates
- a plane is a imaginary line or surface that divides the body into two - movement occurs in a plane
