FiTour Basic Kinesiology and Biomechanics questions with correct answers

Kinesiology - Answer The scientific study of human movement Planes of Movement - Answer Flat imaginary surfaces that divide the body into halves in order to correspond with movement, motion, and actions. Human movement occurs in a plane. Median /Sagittal Plane - Answer A vertical plane that passes through the body anterior to posterior dividing the body into right and left sections. Flexion and extension actions occur within the Sagittal plane. Frontal/Coronal plane - Answer A vertical plane that passes through the body from side to side dividing the body into anterior and posterior sections. Abduction and adduction actions occur within the frontal plane. Transverse/Horizontal Plane - Answer A horizontal plane that passes through the body dividing the body into superior and inferior sections. Rotation and twisting actions occur within the transverse /horizontal plane. Oblique plane - Answer A plane that lies tilted between the three primary planes associated with kinesiology Movement within a plane - Answer Will always occur parallel to that plane Muscle Movement/Action- prime movers(agonist) - Answer Muscles responsible for a definite movement
