describe the planes of the body and the axes that correlate to each plane:

when jumping and raising either one arm up, or both arms up, your CofG moves relative to your body parts. 1) your CofG actually did move upward and higher off ground 2) your CofG stayed same height off the ground and your head and other parts moved downward or loser to ground to compensate for other parts moving upward 3) combination of 1 and 2 1 and 3 are FALSE #2 is true -> your body segments are moving closer to the ground -in order to change CofG you must apply an external force (which is impossible) so, changing body parts in the air, will move other body parts lower is relation to everything else (ex: lifting arm will lower body and shoulders)

describe the reasoning for center of gravity movement as a relative movement and the possibilities for it:

-Body segment rotations produce linear motion of the whole body or of a specific point on a body segment or implement -ex: elbow flexion (bicep curl) point at elbow and point at wrist. Both have same angular displacement, but the wrist will have a greater linear displacement than the elbow joint -The greater the radius between a given point on a rotating body and the axis of rotation, the greater the linear distance traveled by that point during an angular motion.
