Polestar Pilates Principle Vi: Movement Intergration

Front 1

Definition of Biomechanics

Back 1

integration of movement with many joints and in multiple planes of motion

Front 2

Definition of Motor Control

Back 2

the ability to regulate or direct mechanisms essential to movement

Front 3

Movement emerges spontaneously from the interaction of 3 factors:

Back 3

task,environment,individual

Front 4

How can the environment enhance or impair movement

Back 4

lighting, smooth surfaces, uneven surfaces, poor visibility, noise, space

Front 5

How can the task (exercise) influence the movement

Back 5

open vs closed tasks

open = unpredictable movements e.g.returning a tennis serve

closed tasks= fixed habitual patterns of movement with minimal variation in relatively fixed environments e.g. darts, bowling

Front 6

how can the individual influence the movement?

Back 6

individual is constrained by: mind(cognition), body and spirit(perception)

Front 7

how does the spirit/perception influence the movement?

Back 7

needs to integrate sensory information into psychologically meaningful information

Front 8

how does the mind/cognition influence the movement?how does the

Back 8

attention, motivation and emotional aspects of motor control underlie the establishment of intent or goals

Front 9

how does the body/action influence the movement?

Back 9

needs understanding motor output from nervous system to body muscles.

Front 10

what are the 4 stages of learning advanced movement skills?

Back 10

Unconscious Incompetence

Conscious Incompetence

Conscious Competence

Unconscious Competence

Front 11

What is Unconscious Incompetence?

Back 11

Doesn't understand how to do it

Doesn't know they cant do it

Deny the usefulness of the skill

To move on:

Must recognise their own incompetence and value the skill.

Must have a desire to learn the skill

Front 12

What is conscious incompetence?

Back 12

recognises the deficit.

Doesn't know how to do the skill or change

Needs to make notes of mistakes

Front 13

What is conscious competence?

Back 13

Understands how to do the skill

however demo requires concentration

breaks the skill into steps

Front 14

What is unconscious competence?

Back 14

individual has had so much practice its second nature

performs it easily

can perform it when completing another task

can teach it to others

Front 15

What is the systems theory?

Back 15

multiple systems affect the outcome of successful or faulty movement learning and execution

some of the factors in the outcome of the successful movement:

CNS,PNS,Structure,Gravity,Load,Perception,Desired outcome,perception,motivation,habits

Front 16

Definition of Motor Learning

Back 16

study of acquisition and/or modification of movement

i.e. as a teacher ' how do we help in someone learning a new skill, or help in modifying a faulty movement'

Front 17

What is the process of motor learning?

Back 17

search for a task solution that emerges from an interaction of the individual with the task and the environment.

Front 18

2 common forms of learning

Back 18

declarative learning

procedural learning

Front 19

what is declarative learning?

Back 19

enables you to recall information

depends on awareness and reflection,

uses medial temporal lobe

pilates is built on the ability to heighten awareness of self through movement

Front 20

What is procedural learning?

Back 20

once a heightened state of awareness has been achieved: practice and repetition leads to procedural learning

doesn't require awareness, rather repetition

client needs a functional task to perform repeatedly will improve potential to learn that skill.

Front 21

Practical Application of the movement principle: what does the pelvis for movement?

Back 21

pelvis is a handle for the spine: allows the spine to move in Flex,ext,rotation,lateral flexion

Accurate motion of the pelvis through space is essential for functional movement

Front 22

Practical Application of the movement principle: what does the integration of pelvis on the trunk do for movement?

Back 22

integration of the ribs with pelvis facilitates AE, spine flexion, lateral flex and rotation

Front 23

Practical Application of the movement principle: what does the integration of head and extremities on the trunk do for movement?

Back 23

integration of the head on the trunk - increase stability of the neck

grater production of force in the extremity - important for throwing sports..combine core stability, SA and integration of UE and LE provide optimum environment for performance mastery

Front 24

In Pilates we can control 6 factors which affect motor learning, movement organisation and movement integration - name them

Back 24

1. Assistance

2. Base of support/Centre of Gravity

3. Balance/Proprioception

4. Coordination

5. Range of Motion

6. Lever Length

Front 25

explain assistance

Back 25

passive-assistive-gravity elimiated-movment against gravity-resistive

Front 26

explain base of support/COG

Back 26

increase BOS, decrease COG = decrease challenge

Front 27

explain balance/proprioception

Back 27

balance:ability to maintain equilibrium

proprioception: unconscious perception of movement and spatial orientation arising from stimuli within body

Decrease BOS = increase challenge and balance

Front 28

explain co-ordination

Back 28

multiple planes of movment - increase co-ord challenge

unilateral (easy) - bilaterl - recoipral (harder)

Front 29

explain ROM

Back 29

degree of movement in which joints can be moved through space

decrease ROM - decrease challenge

Front 30

explain lever length

Back 30

distance form the fulcrum to the distal end of the lever

shorter lever - lesser force at fulcrum therefore easier

lever can be U/B, L/B or spine
