    I'm glad you answered that so well Hayley! Stick out tongue

    I definitely would've asked in what context he wanted to move the body thinking in sense of the Transverse plane...

    Now if only we could do exercises in the midsagittal plane! Geeked

    Re: Transverse plane motion

    awesome thanks so very much...but can you explain chest press, fly , and lat pull to be a transverse plane motion. because there is no rotation in the upper torso while doing a push up or a chest press?

    Re: Transverse plane motion

    The chest flys do somewhat occur in the transverse plane, as you bring a leg forward, and then lean into it, causing your upper body to lean forward, similar to a bending down movement so to speak.

    Chest presses though is all done in the Coronal plane, as your body is straight the entire time.

    That Lat Pull I am not so familiar with, so I can't really say on that.

    Is there a particular reason you are focusing your efforts on the Transverse plane or just planes in general?

    Re: Transverse plane motion

    The reason why the chest press and the chest fly occur in the transverse plane is because there is horizontal abduction and adduction of the shoulder.  The lat pull pulldown is more in the frontal plane, but can also be considered in the transverse plane because there is a slight horizontal abduction of the shoulder. 

    The definition of horizontal abduction is: A movement along the transverse plane from the midline of the body i.e- reverse dumbbell flys

    The definition of horizontal adduction is: A movement along the transverse plane toward the midline of the body i.e- dumbbell flys

    Let me know if this helps you to understand the concept.
