POLESTAR PILATES QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS LATEST LATEST 2025-2026 EXAM
UPDATE
Axial elongation places the body ... - Answer-in its optimal position to
increase available degrees of freedom and increase efficiency of
movement
axial elongation - Answer-Lengthening of the spine and placing all
muscles in optimal position.
neutral spine - Answer-Proper position of the spine to maintain its
normal curves
neutral pelvis - Answer-The position of the pelvis when the anterior
superior iliac spine (ASIS) on each side of the pelvis and pubic
symphysis (PS), are in the same horizontal plane (coronal plane when
erect) and the two ASIS are in the same transverse plane.
Core control includes - Answer-neutral pelvis and neutral spine
neuromuscular control - Answer-movement is controlled with
appropriate amount of stiffness for anticipated load.staying away from
the end of range motion - which is where injury is most likely to occur.
, distal resistance affords - Answer-proximal stability
spine articulation - Answer-Distribution of Movement Equals
Distribution of Force
misalignment of the spine - Answer-results in arthritis, back injury
spine articulation concept - Answer-increase degree of freedom between
each joint
organization of the head, neck, and shoulders includes - Answer-
Postural alignment; scapular mobility; head and neck alignment
alignment and weight bearing of the extremities includes - Answer-
dynamic alignment and maximum congruency leads to desired
movement
movement integration includes - Answer-Movement of the pelvis in all
planes, integration of the pelvis on the trunk. Integration of head and
extremities on the trunk.
Flexibility is implemented thru Pilates - Answer-by changing bad
movement habits to good muscle activation habits that strengthen the
support of the body, integrate proper movement patterns
