  Kinesiology is the branch of
physiology that studies mechanics
and anatomy in relation to human
movement.
INTRODUCTION  Biomechanics is a combination of
two words BIO refers to the living
things or life and MECHANICS refers
to the field of physics and the
forces that act on bodies in motion.
TOPIC :-

AXES &
PLANES
 INTRODUCTION  Human movements are stated in
three dimensions on a series of
planes and axes.
TO
 Meaning of plane :- an imaginary ,
flat surface passing through the
body or organ is called plane.
AXES AND PLANES
 Meaning of axis :-

 There are 3 planes of motion that pass through the
human body :-

 SAGGITAL OR MEDIAL PLANE

Vertical plane that passes from the rear to front ,
dividing the body into left and right halves.
Most of the activities that are two dimensional
such as long jump and running take place in this

TYPES
plane .

OF
 FRONTAL OR CORONAL PLANE
Also vertical and passes from left to right
dividing the body into posterior to anterior

PLANES halves. Movements along the frontal plane can

include cartwheel and star jumps.

 TRANSVERSE OR HORIZONTAL PLANE

Divides the body into top and bottom halves
Movements along this plane can include ice
skating and rotation for a tennis shot.

MOVEMENTS
  GLIDING MOVEMENT

TYPES  ANGULAR MOVEMENT

1. FLEXION
OF 2. EXTENSION

MOVEMENTS 3. ABDUCTION
4. ADDUCTION
IN  CIRCUMDUCTION

JOINTS  ROTATION
  Simplest kind of motion that takes
place in a joint
 It is basically one surface gliding
GLIDING over another without any angular
or rotatory movement .
MOVEMENT  Very common to all movable joints
 Amongst most of the articulations
of the carpus and tarsus, it is the
only motion permitted
 ANGULAR MOVEMENT
 Occurs only between long bones
 The angles between the bones are increased and decreased
 It takes place :
1. forward
2. backward
3. flexion :- bending parts of joints such that the angle decreases
4. extension :- straightening parts of joints such that the angle between them increases
5. abduction :- moving a part away from the midline
6. adduction :- moving a parts towards the midline
7. Takes place in more movable joints like the hip and the shoulder
