POLESTAR PILATES EXAM WITH CORRECT
ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECTLY
WELL DEFINED ANSWERS LATEST
ALREADY GRADED A+ 2025 – 2026
Axial elongation places the body ...
in its optimal position to increase available degrees of
freedom and increase efficiency of movement
axial elongation
Lengthening of the spine and placing all muscles in optimal
position.
neutral spine
Proper position of the spine to maintain its normal curves
neutral pelvis
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
,neutral pelvis and neutral spine
neuromuscular control
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
proximal stability
spine articulation
Distribution of Movement Equals Distribution of Force
misalignment of the spine
results in arthritis, back injury
PILATES GOALS AND BENEFITS
