LATEST WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS GRADED HIGHLY
neutral pelvis - ANSWER refers to the position of the pelvis when the anterior/front
superior/top iliac/hip bones spine (ASIS) on each side of the pelvis & pubic symphysis
(PS) are in the same horizontal plane (coronal plane when erect) and the two ASIS are
in the same transverse plane.
co-contraction - ANSWER Muscle role: contraction of the agonist and antagonist at the
same time to produce a stable join or balanced movement and is often encouraged in
Pilates
isometric contraction - ANSWER Contraction of a muscle in a static position
(stabilizers). There is no change in the length of the muscle or the angelof the joint.
Strength gain is specific to the angle of the joint where the contraction takes place. This
type of contraction can be describes as the contraction typically used by stabilizers and
is know as a ____ contraction.
isotonic contraction - ANSWER Contraction of a muscle through the full range of
motion (ROM) or part of the ROM against a resistance force (dynamic contraction) and
consist of two types of contractions. This is known as the ___ contraction.
, concentric & eccentric - ANSWER Name the two types of isotonic contractions
concentric - ANSWER Positive movements or shortening contractions. The muscle
shortens during the contraction and the angle of the joint/s will decrease is known as a
__ contraction
focus of the exercise.
may - ANSWER Answer is may OR may not:
In regards to Muscle Focus - At times due to the complexity of the movement pattern
and the changing positions there may/may not in fact be more than one muscle focus
may not - ANSWER answer is may OR may not:
In regards to Muscle Focus - Without identifying the muscle foucus the desired result
may or may not be achieved
cueing - ANSWER As one gains more experience teaching the ______ improves. This
is probably one of the most apparent qualities of an experienced teacher.
stabilizers, initiators, movers - ANSWER SIM stands for.
stabilizers, initiators, movers - ANSWER The order in which muscles functions are
