(all |bad |bitches |can |call |Christy |especially |for |precision |and |harmony)
When |are |you |in |neutral |pelvis?
Correct |Answer: When |the |ASIS |and |pubic |symphysis |is |on |the |same |horizontal
plane |and |two |ASIS |are |on |the |same |transverse |plane
Can |the |spine |be |neutral |when |the |pelvis |is |not?
Correct |Answer: When |the |spine |is |in |neutral |the |pelvis |must |be |neutral, |however, |the
pelvis |may |be |neutral |when |the |spine |is |not
What |are |the |pros |of |using |a |neutral |pelvis?
Correct |Answer: encourages |muscular |development |and |correct |muscle |recruitment
teaches |efficient |posture |and |ideal |alignment
pelvis |alignment |influences |body |segments |above |and |below |it
What |are |the |benefits |of |breathing |in |Pilates?
Correct |Answer: -oxygenates |blood
2
,-improve |circulation
-calm |the |mind |and |body
-encourage |concentration
-recruit |the |appropriate |muscles |for |the |movements
-provide |an |'inner' |rhythm |for |the |movements
What |happens |during |the |breathing |cycle?
Correct |Answer: inhale- |diaphragm |lowers |and |enlarges |cavity. |pressure |inside |the
lungs |is |lower |than |the |pressure |outside
exhale- |diaphragm |relaxes |and |decreases |volume |of |cavity. |increases |pressure |of |the
lungs |and |equalizes |the |pressure |to |the |outside |(air |is |forced |out)
How |much |of |the |respiratory |effort |is |the |diaphragm |responsible |for?
Correct |Answer: 75%
What |kind |of |breathing |does |Pilates |use? |and |why?
Correct |Answer: lateral |breathing |of |"intercostal |breathing". |it |maintains |ab
contraction |while |performing |exercises |during |inhalation.
What |is |shaped |breathing?
Correct |Answer: using |breathing |patterns
What |is |Muscle |Focus?
3
, Correct |Answer: the |muscle |or |group |of |muscles |that |is |the |primary |focus |of |the
exercise
What |are |Objectives?
Correct |Answer: the |objective |describes |the |action |of |the |muscle |being |used.
although |there |may |be |one |muscle |focus, |there |could |be |many |objectives.
What |are |the |Cues?
Correct |Answer: Cues |are |the |actual |execution |of |the |exercise. |precision |provides
results. |Cue |is |to |communicate |which |leads |to |good |understanding |which |leads |to
success
What |are |Movers?
Correct |Answer: generating |or |controlling |movement
What |are |the |Antagonists?
Correct |Answer: actions |oposite |to |movers
What |are |the |Synergists?
Correct |Answer: neutralizes |undesired |actions |of |movers
What |are |the |Stabilizers?
Correct |Answer: muscles |that |hold |body |parts |still
