Planes of movement

Everything in our world is made of three dimensions and to move freely, our body moves in three planes of motion: frontal, sagittal, and horizontal. • Sagittal Plane: Cuts the body into left and right halves. Forward and backward movements. • Frontal Plane: Cuts the body into front and back halves. Side-to-side movements. • Transverse Plane: Cuts the body into top and bottom halves. Twisting movements. Learning and understanding these planes will allow you to train and coach more intelligently, and having them in mind while planning a workout can upgrade your training. First, it can help you choose the right exercise for the specific muscle and prevent injuries. Second, targeting the same muscles by using different plane exercises can make them activate differently and bring diverse stabilizers into the effort. Taking the planes into consideration can be done by making sure all planes are being performed in every training session or by intentionally choosing some exercises that train the body in different planes simultaneously. In our daily movement throughout the day, we often make movements that combine different planes, so training in different planes and combining different planes in one exercise would benefit our body. At the end of the day, one of our main training goals (if not the principal one) is to make our body healthy and better functioning The Strength Training app is available for any movement professional looking to take his knowledge one step forward!
