principles of Pilates and core Flashcards
how to Create a successful Pilates program?
Add functional exercises
education
Add articulation and mobility
Teaching controlled loading with extremities
Teaching 5 key elements of pilates
5 Key Elements of Pilates are?
Breathing
Centering
The Rib Cage
Shoulder Blades
Head and Neck
in pilates we have to strengthen first, then stabilize
true or false?
false, opposite
list the muscles related to the Supportive Core connection
TrA, multifidus and pelvic floor, and Diafragma muscles
In the neutral spine = multifidus, function increases
true or false?
true
which group of muscles Stabilize the body in rot, ext, lat flex
multifiduis
Supporting the lumbar spine while lifting
Contributes intra abdominal pressure increase
which muscle?
diaphragm
inner core and then the outer core are activated in strengthening
true or false?
true
The increase in activity in the oblique, rectus abdominis, and other external muscles in connection with the TFL increases the ?
ability to control spine position under increasing loads.
Latissimus dorsi
Serratus anterior
Abdominal obliques
Quadratus lumborum
Gluteals
TLF
are ?
strengthening core
functional core is about?
supportive core
strengthening core
extremity movement
for Traditional Pilates focuses on the inner core more than the outer core
true or false?
false, outer core more than inner core
benefits of pilates are?
Safe
Improves posture
Provides stabilization.
Strengthens the muscle.
Improves cognitive functions.
Improves the balance and coordination
Cat-Cow or Quadrupedal Spine Flexion and Extension
book openings
pelvic clock
are examples of?
visual imagery exercise
This fascial contribution leads to increased ?
stability
achieved by clamping the sacroiliac joint surfaces without the need to use extra forces to provide pelvic stability caused by postural load is?
form closure
the structure that provides the position of our pelvis under normal load
is force closure
true or false?
false, form closure
When postural load is increased, extra forces are produced by the muscle, ligament, and fascia that provide the SIJ compression necessary to maintain pelvis stability.
this referred to?
force closure
TrA, multifidus, pelvic floor and diaphragm (Inner core)
Local muscles
Provide segmental stabilization of the spine
for?
primary sling
which muscles are related to the posterior oblique Sling?
Latissimus dorsi and contralateral gluteus maximus
External oblique and contralateral adductor muscle
This pair creates a compressive force vector between the anterior abdominal fascia and the symphysis pubis
which sling provides this?
anterior oblique sling
Pelvis and pubic symphysis provide anterior stability with the postioer oblique sling
true or false?
false, with anterior oblique sling
Activation of the lateral sling provides pelvic stability in the frontal plane
true or false?
true
Common conditions that affect lateral sling include ?
ITB syndrome, runners knee
