Planes of Motion – Understanding the Body’s Blueprint
Movement is not random. It occurs in specific directions, governed by what are called planes of motion. These imaginary lines divide the body and help us understand how and where movement happens.
Types of Muscle Contractions – The Push and Pull of Movement
Muscles work by contracting, and there are several types of contractions that dictate how we move. Each type serves a unique purpose and plays a crucial role in different activities.
How Muscles Work Together in Movement
