Explanation of Solution

The plane where the forward and backward movements of the body and its segments occur is known as sagittal planes. The plane where the lateral movements of the body and its segments occur is known as frontal planes. The plane where the horizontal movements of the body and its segments occur is known as transverse planes.

The movements in the sagittal planes are as follows:

  • Marching
  • Bowling
  • Cycling
  • Running
  • Forward roll

The movements in the frontal planes are as follows:

  • Cartwheel
  • Jumping jacks
  • Side stepping
  • Side kicks
  • Side crunches

The movements in the transverse planes are as follows:

  • Twist by deep-sea divers
  • Trampolin jumping twist
  • Dancer’s pirouette
  • Twist made by the athlete before throwing the shotput
  • Russian twist exercise

Using approximately 400-500 words, choose a sports skill you wish to analyze (note this will be the same sports skill used in a future Unit). Some examples include a free throw shot, softball pitch, soccer kick, baseball swing, etc. Discuss what movements occur at the ankle, knee, hip, spine, shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Compare the movements bilaterally, or both sides. In which planes do these movements occur? What axis of rotation occurs at each joint? Include at least two scholarly references (using APA formatting and style) to guide your answers.
