|
|
Frontal Axis
|
|

None of the above
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Frontal axis-this line runs from left to right through the centre of the body. For example, when a person performs a somersault they rotate around this axis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer is: Sagittal plane and transverse axis. E.g. Sprinting/running, somersault, forward roll Answer is: Transverse plane and longitudinal axis.
Detailed explanation-3: -An example of rotation around the Frontal axis is a CARTWHEEL. The transverse axis goes through your middle from left to right. An example of rotation around the transverse axis is a FORWARD ROLL. The longitudinal axis is the longest axis that goes vertically through the middle of the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -If we are moving the shoulder in the frontal plane, we are moving around the sagittal axis. These movements are called Abduction and ADDuction. The movements of the shoulder in the transversal plane around the longitudinal axis are called external or lateral rotation and internal or medial rotation.
