This motion occurs in the <strong>frontal plane<\/strong>, which divides the body into front and back halves. Movements like side-stepping, lateral raises, or jumping side to side all happen in the frontal plane, not the sagittal plane.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sprinting<\/strong><br>Sprinting involves running forward in a straight line. This forward motion is a classic sagittal plane movement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jumping<\/strong><br>Jumping usually involves moving straight up and down or forward, both of which are sagittal plane movements. For example, a vertical jump involves primarily sagittal plane movement (up and down), and a broad jump (jumping forward) is also sagittal plane movement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sagittal plane movements:<\/strong> Forward and backward motions, such as sprinting, backpedaling, and jumping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frontal plane movements:<\/strong> Side-to-side motions, such as side-shuffling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since <strong>side-shuffling<\/strong> is a lateral movement, it is <strong>not<\/strong> performed in the sagittal plane, making it the correct answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following is not performed in the sagittal plane? options: backpedaling side-shuffling sprinting jumping The correct answer and explanation is: The correct answer is side-shuffling.
