Woooo Pilates (THE BIG ONEEE)E))E)

the erect position of the body with the face directed forward, the arms at the side, and the palms of the hands facing forward, used as a reference in describing the relation of body parts to one another.

Anatomical Position

the action of the condition of being bent, especially the bending of a limb or joint; movement in an anterior direction in the upper extremities and posterior direction in the lower extremities.

Flexion

a movement that increases the angle between two body parts.

Extension

moves the limb laterally away from the midline of the body.

Abduction

brings the limb toward the body or across the midline.

Adduction

front side or in front of.

Anterior

back side or in the back of.

Posterior

turning the anterior surface outward.

External rotation

turning the anterior surface inward.

Internal rotation

nearer to the center and/or trunk of the body; or nearer to the point of attachment to the body (root of the limb).

Proximal

further from the root of the limb or the center of the body.

Distal

combination of flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction.

Circumduction

excessive movement or positioning in the direction of an extension.

Hyperextension

twisting movement produced by the summation of small rotational movements, taking place in the transverse plane around the longitudinal axis.

Rotation

the upward movement of the scapula and shoulder; lifting the shoulder blades up towards the ear.

Elevation

downward movement of the scapula and shoulder; lowering the shoulder blades towards the waist.

Depression

consists of movement of the scapula as the arms are lowered, and the superior border of the scapula moves away from the midline (spine).

Downward Rotation

above/towards the head.

Superior

below/towards the feet.

Inferior

lifting the heel of the foot from the ground; pointing the toes downward.

Plantar-flexion

lifting the front of the foot, so that the top of the foot moves toward the anterior leg.

Dorsiflexion

vertical plane dividing the body into right and left portions.

Sagittal plane

vertical plane dividing the body into equal right and left portions; called also median plane.

Median/midsagittal plane

vertical plane dividing the body into front and back portions.

Coronal/frontal plane

horizontal plane dividing the body into upper and lower portions.

Transverse plane

lying on the back of the body with the face upward.

Supine

lying on the front of the body with the face downward.

Prone

to the side of, or away from the midline of the body.

Lateral

closer to the median plane, to the midline.

Medial

side bending of the trunk to the right or the left.

Lateral Flexion

rotation of the forearm and hands so that the palm faces downwards or backwards.

Pronation

rotation of the forearm and hands so that the palm faces upwards or forwards.

Supination

diaphragm lowers during contraction enlarging the thoracic cavity.

Inhalation

diaphragm relaxes causing a decrease in the volume of the thoracic cavity.

Exhalation

mode of breathing to facilitate and maintain abdominal contractions while performing exercise.

Intercostal/Lateral Breathing

regulation of the execution of a given action.

Control

ability to perform with less energy or effort.

Efficiency

uninterrupted continuity of movement.

Flow

The accuracy in which movement is executed.

Precision

The “body-mind-spirit connection.” Agreement in feeling/accord; congruity of parts to a whole.

Harmony

ability to be conscious of sensory patterns.

Awareness

state of bodily equilibrium satisfying proportion of parts.

Balance

fuel of powerhouse.

Breath

direction of attention to mastery of Pilates.

Concentration

muscles of core/powerhouse.
