the analysis of movement for the human body.(The hands are lateral to
the medial elbow.)
Planes of Motion - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Sagittal plane - divides the

occur. For movement within this plane, the resistance must come from

resistance must come from directly behind the new position.
2. Frontal plane - divides the body in half from front to back. In this
plane, one can perform adduction and abduction. If standing, the
resistance and the fight against gravity come from the direction and
gravitational pull of the earth.
3. Transverse plane - divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior

original concept pertaining to the constant and possibly dangerous
variables a personal trainer faces while recommending and working with
a diverse client base. (safety)
The Assisted Pull-up - CORRECT ANSWER primarily targets and

desired action is adduction at the shoulder on the concentric phase of
contraction without locking out at the elbow on the eccentric phase of
muscle contraction.
