What are the three levels of observation an instructor can use to analyze a client's movement patterns?
global, integrated planar and local
When observing vertical alignment from the side, what key bony landmarks do you want to line up with
the plumb line of gravity?
Tip of earlobe, top of shoulder, center of rib cage, high point of illiac creast, mid-point of the lateral side
of the knee, slightly in front of the lateral malleolus of the ankle
What muscle imbalances are usually associated with thoracic kyphosis?
Thoracic extensors and scapular stabilizers are weak or long, anterior chest muscles are tight or short
When training clients what key factors are important to consider when planning our exercise program?
Current fitness level, age, quality of motor control and learning style
The 80/20 rule in training applies to what philosophy?
When training, 80% of a session is dedicated to refining skills the client has already learned and 20% to
learn new skills.
What are the four elements of Trunk Integration?
Breathing, inner unit, outer units, spinal mobility
On an inhale, the diaphragm contracts and the dome moves
downward, drawing air in
Inhaling generally helps to facilitate what spinal movement
extension
The inner unity or core includes what muscles
Pelvic floor, transverse abdominis, multifidi and diaphragm
What foundational exercises bring awareness to breath in relationship to the transversus abdominis
Fingertip abdominals
All four abdominals
In a normal, healthy body, the inner unit of the core fires
Reflexively in reaction to postural changes and load being placed on the spine, Consciously when
needed for support, and helps to propel the body forward.

,marching, toe taps, dead bugs
Which exercise is a good way to teach lumbopelvic stability in prone
swimming
A supine exercise which strengthens the hamstring and glutes while training stability in the oblique
slings is
bridge marching
The primary functions of the spine include
Force transference
Protection of the spinal cord and nerve roots
movement
What is the name of the first cervical vertebrae
atlas
The purpose of the tail wag and seated side stretch is to facilitate and enhance what spinal movements
lateral flexion
Movements of the spine in the sagittal or "wheel" plane include
flexion and extension
The nucleus pulposus of the spine is
The soft, jelly like center of the intervertebral disc
When creating lower body training protocols, it is important to train all the following
optimum leg alignment
balance joint range of motion and muscle strength
agility, balance and coordination
When observing alignment of the legs, ideal standing alignment is
Side: hip, knee and ankle joints are lined up over each other
Anterior: Just inside the ASIS of the hip lines up with the center of the patella and roughly with the
second toe of the foot
Posterior: center of the gluteal fold, center of the back of the knee, achilles are vertical and center
through the heel.
Foot and ankle work, such as heel raises and jumping, work to
stabilize the ankle, strengthen the ankle, and improve balance
Without good range of motion on boths sides of a joint, the muscles cannot work correctly. For example,
if the hip flexors are too tight, the hamsrings won't have enough range to work well and strength gains
will be difficult. This is an example of

pulling
lifting
(NOT striding)
Sternum drops primarily move the scapula in
Protraction and retraction
Upward rotation of the scapulae occur when the arms
move overhead
