My fault, guys! I realized that I talked about Planes of Motion in yesterday's blog, but did not tell you what or where they are. Bad, Lance, bad. So today I just wanted to write a little post on our Planes of Motion...  There are 3 Planes of Motion our bodies go through: 1. Sagital 2. Coronal (also known as Frontal) 3. Transverse These Planes also divide the body in specific ways: Sagital - Right and Left Coronal - Front and Back Transverse - Top and Bottom Imagine these imaginary planes as panes of glass. A movement will belong in a particular plane of motion if it does not hit the glass or as the limb moves parallel to the glass - not through it. Let me ask a couple questions to check to see if you got it. What plane of motion would... ...be the leg of a karate student going through as they forward kick? ...be the arm of a tennis player going through as they perform a forehand hit? ...be the arms and legs going through of a person doing jumping jacks?  |
