The Importance of Body Levels in Sports Science

"But what exactly are body levels?" you ask now. Well, in sports science and specifically in motion analysis, we are talking about three main body levels - the frontal, sagittal and transversal levels. Sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, but is quite simple:

Visualize them Sagital level like a folding knife: movements that have a flexion, extension or a vertical movement, e.g. during strength training with dumbbells when lifting the front.

The Frontal plane Practically divides your body in half - a front and a back. Think of side-tilting as a typical movement in this level.

Then there are the Transversal planewhich divides your body horizontally. Every time you move sideways or forwards or backwards, you use this level.

The Importance of Body Levels in Fitness Training

"And why should I pay attention to these body levels in fitness training?" It's pretty simple. Our daily life is a constant mixture of these levels. One-sided training, especially on fitness equipment, often covers only one body level and limits our freedom of movement.

Exercises and Body Levels: The Benefits of Diversity

Therefore, we should integrate as many body levels as possible in our exercises. It extends our range of motion, improves spatial sensation and protects us from injury. By the way, the ring training is perfect for such versatile exercises!

The Ring Training: The Ultimate Exercise for All Body Levels

Take, for example, the "rowing to the forehead" in ring training. This exercise uses all three levels of the body: the sagital level (movement from top to bottom), the transversal level (forward and backward movement of the entire body) and the frontal level (elbows go outward). These combined movements strain multiple muscle groups simultaneously, promote coordination and stimulate the release of growth hormones.

Multidimensional Training: The Next Level of Your Fitness Workout

Now it’s your turn: Try to work multidimensionally in your fitness training. Try some composite exercises that involve different levels. One-sided movements are sometimes necessary to train certain vulnerabilities, but they should not be the main part of your training.
