Planes of Movement in Human Anatomy and Exercise

The video tutorial explains the three planes of human movement: frontal, sagittal, and transverse. Each plane is described in terms of its orientation and the types of movements it facilitates. The frontal plane involves lateral movements like abduction and adduction. The sagittal plane includes forward and backward movements such as flexion and extension. The transverse plane is associated with rotational movements. The video concludes with demonstrations of exercises that utilize these movement planes.
