Flashcards

Sagittal Plane

The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves. Movements in this plane are forward and backward, like walking or running.

Frontal Plane

The frontal plane divides the body into front and back halves. Movements in this plane are side-to-side, such as jumping jacks or lateral lunges.

Transverse Plane

The transverse plane divides the body into upper and lower halves. Movements in this plane are twisting motions, such as a golf swing or a medicine ball throw.

Sagittal Plane Exercises

Pushing or pulling motions occur primarily in the sagittal plane.

Study Notes

Body Planes of Motion

  • The body moves in three dimensions (sagittal, frontal, and transverse).
  • Poor range of motion and joint instability can lead to overcompensation, resulting in chronic pain and injury.
  • Improving three-dimensional movement reduces injury risk and improves daily function.

Sagittal Plane

  • Cuts the body into left and right halves.
  • Movement primarily involves flexion and extension.
  • Exercise examples include back squats, biceps curls, lunges, and walking.
  • Movement occurs parallel to a sagittal plane (like a monorail track).

Frontal Plane

  • Cuts the body into front and back halves.
  • Movement primarily involves side-to-side motions (adduction and abduction).
  • Exercise examples include lateral arm raises, lateral leg raises, side shuffles, and side lunges.
  • Movement follows a frontal plane track (like a monorail).

Transverse Plane

  • Cuts the body into top and bottom halves.
  • Movement primarily involves twisting motions (internal and external rotation).
  • Exercise examples include spinal rotations, and horizontal adduction and abduction.
  • Movement travels around a vertical axis, through the center of the head and spine.

Inversion and Eversion

  • Movements of the foot (occurring in the frontal plane).
  • Inversion: foot swings inward, exposing the sole medially.
  • Eversion: foot swings outward, exposing the sole laterally.
  • Can be a contributing factor to ankle rolls during movements.

3D Training Programs

  • Routines focusing on sagittal plane movements (squats, curls etc.) are not enough for full body efficiency.
  • Exercises that include twisting, side movements, and rotational movements are necessary for comprehensive fitness.
  • Combining exercises from different planes produces three-dimensional movement.
