◉ What is the duration of the intensive workshop in the Pilates course?
Answer: 7 hours
◉ How often are the Q&A calls scheduled in the Pilates course?
Answer: 1 hour monthly
◉ What are the components of self-study in the Pilates course? Answer:
8-12 hours of self-study and reading.
◉ What is the purpose of observing classes in the Pilates course?
Answer: To focus on anatomical cueing.
◉ What are the four main types of bones? Answer: Long, short, flat, and
irregular.
◉ What is the structure of long bones? Answer: Long and tubular.
◉ Where are short bones typically found? Answer: In the wrists and
ankles.
,◉ What type of bones are found in the skull and ribs? Answer: Flat
bones.
◉ What are sesamoid bones? Answer: Small bones commonly found
embedded within a muscle or tendon near joint surfaces.
◉ What are the two main parts of a bone's structure? Answer: Cortical
bone (hard outer layer) and cancellous bone (inner spongy part).
◉ What is the function of articular cartilage? Answer: To reduce friction
at the ends of bones in a joint.
◉ What is the epiphysis of a long bone? Answer: The cap at the end of a
long bone where growth occurs.
◉ What is the diaphysis of a long bone? Answer: The sturdy middle part
of a long bone that provides support.
◉ What is the periosteum? Answer: The tough membrane around bones
that protects and helps with healing.
◉ What are the stages of bone growth? Answer: Proliferation,
hypertrophic, calcification, and ossification stages.
,◉ What is the classification of vertebrae in the cervical spine? Answer:
C1-C7.
◉ What is the function of the curves in the spine? Answer: To absorb
shock, prevent injury, and counterbalance load.
◉ How many vertebrae are in the thoracic spine? Answer: 12 vertebrae
(T1-T12).
◉ What is the lordotic curve? Answer: The normal inward curvature of
the spine at the cervical and lumbar regions.
◉ What is kyphosis? Answer: The normal outward curvature of the
spine at the thoracic region.
◉ What is a neutral pelvis? Answer: When the ASIS and PSIS are in one
horizontal line.
◉ What does a posteriorly tilted pelvis indicate? Answer: The tailbone
tucks under, and the lower back arch decreases.
◉ What is an anteriorly tilted pelvis? Answer: When the ASIS is lower
than the PSIS, resulting in an exaggerated lower back curve.
, ◉ What are the main bony landmarks of the pelvis? Answer: ASIS,
PSIS, pubic symphysis, ischial tuberosity, coccyx.
◉ What is the function of the coccyx? Answer: It is a relic of our
ancestors with no movement or function but useful for cueing.
◉ What is the sacrum? Answer: A wedge-shaped bony plate comprised
of 5 fused vertebrae that transfers weight from L5 to the pelvis.
◉ What is the Glenohumeral joint? Answer: A shallow ball and socket
joint that is prone to injury, often supported by rotator cuff muscles.
◉ What is the primary function of bones? Answer: To protect internal
organs and provide a strong structure for the body.
◉ What role does bone marrow play? Answer: It is responsible for the
production of red and white blood cells.
◉ How do hormones affect bone health? Answer: Hormones like
estrogen and testosterone help regulate bone density and strength, which
can decrease with age.
◉ What factors contribute to bone density? Answer: Body weight,
calcium, and vitamin D are crucial for maintaining bone density.
