Frontal Plane – Motions that occur side-to-side. Think of a lateral lunge or side-step. Transverse Plane – Motions that occur with rotation.

Generally, flexion and extension movements such as biceps curls, knee extensions, and sit-ups occur in this plane. The lateral plane, also known as the frontal or coronal plane, bisects the body laterally from side to side, dividing it into front and back halves.

The sagittal plane divides your body into right and left halves. Exercises that involve flexion and extension and forward and backward movement happen on the sagittal plane. Biceps curls and squats are both examples of strength training exercises on the sagittal plane.

Sagittal plane. The sagittal plane cuts vertically through the body, dividing it into a right and left part. The sagital plane involves forward and backward movement. The straight-arm plank with arm lift is an intermediate level exercise to enhance core stability and strength.

A parasagittal plane is any plane that divides the body into left and right portions, parallel to the sagittal plane, but not directly in the midline. Thus a parasagittal plane divides the body into unequal left and right portions, but remains parallel to the median or sagittal suture.

The sagittal plane or median plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture. It divides the body into left and right. The coronal plane or frontal plane (vertical) divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions.

A longitudinal plane is any plane perpendicular to the transverse plane. The coronal plane and the sagittal plane are examples of longitudinal planes. A transverse plane, also known as a cross-section, divides the body into cranial and caudal (head and tail) portions.

The median plane also called a mid-sagittal plane is used to describe the sagittal plane as it bisects the body vertically through the midline marked by the navel, dividing the body exactly in left and right side. The term parasagittal plane is used to refer to any plane parallel to the sagittal and median plane.

Extension and flexion happen along the sagittal plane. This means most running, biking, rowing, and lifting movements make use of this plane. For example, in a squat, both hips move from extension into flexion, and back into extension.

A coronal plane (also known as the frontal plane) is any vertical plane that divides the body into ventral and dorsal (belly and back) sections. It is one of the three main planes of the body used to describe the location of body parts in relation to each other.axis.

The sagittal plane includes front-to-back movements, playing a major role in running forward. The frontal plane is all about side-to-side motion—think side bends or jumping jacks. The transverse plane involves rotational movements, like swinging a golf club.

Movements

Flexion and Extension.

Abduction and Adduction.

Rotation.

Circumduction.

Pronation, Supination, Inversion and Eversion.

Squats involve flexion (forward motion) and extension (backward on the way up), so would fit into the sagittal plane. Frontal plane motion would include leaning from left to right as in sidebends and lateral raises, or perhaps you might picture jumping jacks for a good image of movement along the frontal plane.

Coronal Plane (Frontal Plane) This is a vertical plane running from side to side that divides the body or any of its parts into anterior and posterior (or dorsal and ventral) parts. The primary movements in the frontal plane are abduction (movement of any part of the body in line with the frontal plane), and adduction.

Planes of the Body. Coronal Plane (Frontal Plane) – A vertical plane running from side to side; divides the body or any of its parts into anterior and posterior portions. Sagittal Plane (Lateral Plane) – A vertical plane running from front to back; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sides.

With the same imaginary line, divide the body into front and back halves and you have the frontal plane. Any lateral (side) movement parallel to the line will occur in the frontal plane. Last, but certainly not least, we have the transverse plane, which divides the body into superior and inferior halves.

The transverse plane (also called the horizontal plane, axial plane, or transaxial plane) is an imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts. It is perpendicular to the coronal plane and sagittal plane.
