Which plane divides the body into front and back portions?

Frontal Plane
Sagittal Plane
Transverse Plane
Coronal Plane

The correct answer is: Frontal Plane

The frontal plane, also known as the coronal plane, is the anatomical division that separates the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections. This plane runs vertically from side to side and is crucial in activities that involve movements like lateral raises, side lunges, and any exercise where the body moves sideways. Understanding this plane helps in recognizing how specific movements and exercises target different muscle groups within the front and back portions of the body. This knowledge is essential for personal trainers when creating effective workout programs that promote balanced strength and function throughout the body.
