Anatomical Planes of Motion

The video tutorial by Matt from the Movement System covers the anatomical planes of motion: sagittal, frontal, and transverse. It explains each plane with exercise examples and discusses the importance of understanding these planes for effective strength training. The video includes a pop quiz to test knowledge and emphasizes the principle of specificity in training, highlighting the need for exercises in different planes to optimize strength and function.

What are the three anatomical planes of motion discussed in the video?

• Sagittal, Coronal, Horizontal

• Sagittal, Frontal, Transverse
