2.2.3 Transverse plane and longitudinal axis

• The longitudinal axis divides the body into left and right halves

  True
• The longitudinal axis is an imaginary line running vertically through the center of the body
• Match the concept with its description:

  Longitudinal Axis ↔️ Vertical line dividing the body into left and right halves

  Transverse Plane ↔️ Horizontal plane where rotational movements occur
• The transverse plane divides the body horizontally and involves rotational movements around the longitudinal axis


  True
• Movements in the transverse plane involve rotation around the longitudinal axis.
• What is an example of a movement in the transverse plane?

  Golf swing
• The longitudinal axis divides the body into left and right halves.


  True
• Which plane divides the body into upper and lower sections?

  Transverse plane
• The transverse plane facilitates rotational movements around the vertical longitudinal axis.


  True
• Which axis is involved in a golf swing movement in the transverse plane?

  Longitudinal axis
• The transverse plane divides the body horizontally into upper and lower sections
• The transverse plane divides the body horizontally into upper and lower sections
• An example of a movement in the transverse plane is rotating the torso
• Order the three main planes of movement in the body based on their descriptions:

  1️⃣ Transverse Plane: Divides body horizontally

  2️⃣ Frontal Plane: Divides body into front and back

  3️⃣ Sagittal Plane: Divides body into left and right
• What does the transverse plane divide the body into?

  Upper and lower sections
• The transverse plane divides the body into front and back sections.

  False
• The longitudinal axis is an imaginary line that runs vertically through the body.
• Arrange the following movements in the transverse plane from simplest to most complex:

  1️⃣ Turning the head

  2️⃣ Twisting the torso

  3️⃣ Golf swing

  4️⃣ Spinning in dance
• Match the plane with its description and axis of rotation:

  Transverse Plane ↔️ Divides body horizontally; Longitudinal axis

  Frontal Plane ↔️ Divides body into front and back; Medial-lateral axis

  Sagittal Plane ↔️ Divides body into left and right; Anterior-posterior axis
• In a golf swing, the transverse plane movement involves rotating the upper body around the spine.
• Athletes use the transverse plane and longitudinal axis to perform rotational movements in various sports skills.
