GCSE PE Planes of Movement- simple revision for the toughest topic

Rich from Planet PE introduces the concept of planes of movement, explaining how movements in sports can be categorized into three planes: sagittal, frontal, and transverse. Each plane is associated with specific types of movements, such as flexion and extension for the sagittal plane, abduction and adduction for the frontal plane, and twisting actions for the transverse plane. The video aims to help students understand these concepts for their GTC exams and encourages viewers to subscribe for more content.
