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.
