-
Quantitative
- The use of numbers when analysing human movement
- E.g. Six metreres, 3 seconds, 2 platers
-
Qualitative
- A description of quality without the use of numbers
- E.g. Good, poor, long
-

What is most human movement called?
General motion
-
Linear Motion
- Involves a line that may be straight or curved, with all body parts moving in the same direction, at the same speedE.g. Sleeping passenger on an airplane
-
A straight linear line is called...
Rectilinear
-
A curved linear line is called...
Curvilinear
-
Angular Motion
Rotation around a central imaginary line (axis of rotation)
-
General motion
- Involves translation and rotation simultaneously.
- E.g. a football
-
Cardinal planes
3 imaginary perpendicular lines that divide the body in half by mass
-
Sagittal plane
- The plane in which forward and backward movement of the body and body segments occur
- (left and right sides)
- e.g. Marching, bowling, cycling
-
Frontal plane
- The plane in which lateral movements of the body and body segments occur
- (front and back)
- E.g. Sidestepping and cartwheels
-
Transverse Plane
The plane in which horizontal body and body segment movements occur when the body is in an erect standing position
