Pilates Jumpboard Jumping Defies Vertical Jumping and Gravity: A workshop

Presented by Aspasia Simeone CEC Provider NPCP

NPCP approved 3.0 CEC 2024-2025

Contact Mobile Number (516) 361-3036

 

SUMMARY:

This workshop is designed to provide a detailed description of the forces of gravity and how the participant’s connection to the Reformer simulates this gravitational force during the eccentric phase of the muscle contraction. By doing so I will demonstrate that the compression effects gravity has on bodily articulations (joints) during a vertical jump and a horizontal jump, are quite different.

This workshop can be LIVE in person with participants and/or conducted through Zoom. However it must be LIVE Zoom not recorded to receive CECs.  

OUTLINE:

 I. Description of Pilates Jumpboard and its connection to the Reformer.

2. Theory behind gravity and how it effects horizontal and vertical movements.

3. Explanation why Reformer Jumpboard jumping is horizontal motion.

4. Demonstration of 6 selected Anatomical jumping positions encompassing all planes of movement. 

5. Conclusion

OBJECTIVES:

1. To offer a detailed explanation of the spring mechanics while gaining a thorough understanding of the eccentric phase of the muscle contraction.

2.  Total awareness of how the horizontal recoil phase of the tension springs simulate the vertical gravitational force.

3. Have fun trying new Jumpboard positions and working with different spring setting as timing intervals. 

4. Depending on enrollment, workshop session up to 2 hrs -3 hrs.
