Which of the following is NOT one of the three directions for med ball training?

• A. Linear
• B. Parallel/Rotational
• C. Vertical
• D. Perpendicular/Rotational

Answer: (C)

Med ball training directions are defined by how the ball moves relative to your body: you move it in a straight line (linear), you rotate your torso to move the ball (rotational), or you rotate with movement in a plane that’s perpendicular to the body (perpendicular/rotational). Vertical isn’t listed as its own direction in this framework—vertical motions are typically treated as linear movements or as specific technique variations within the rotational categories, not as a separate directional category. So the vertical option isn’t one of the three standard directions.
