Planes and axes of movement

This unit will explore basic principles of movement and their effect on sporting performance to include the classification of levers, planes of movement and axis of rotation. This understanding enables pupils to maximise efficiency of movement or generate more power.

Movement analysis and basic biomechanics

Which plane of movement is paired with the frontal axis?

Which of the following is correct for a plane of movement?

Which is the following images demonstrates rotation around the vertical axis and movement along the transverse plane?

A somersault rotates around which axis and moves along which plane?
