Which progression involves moving sideways?

1. Sagittal

2. Frontal

3. Transverse

4. Multiple planes

The correct answer is: Frontal

The correct answer is "frontal." This progression involves moving sideways because it refers to movement that occurs along the frontal (or coronal) plane of the body. This means that the movement is happening from side to side, such as when doing a lateral or side-to-side lunge. Option A, "sagittal," refers to movement along the sagittal plane, which is a front-to-back plane. This would involve movements like forward or backward lunges or bicep curls. Option C, "transverse," refers to movement that occurs along the transverse plane, which is a horizontal plane. This would involve movements like twisting or rotational movements, such as a Russian twist or twisting while holding a dumbbell. Option D, "multiple planes," is a distractor and does not accurately describe a progression. While movement can occur along multiple planes, it is not
