Pelvic Stabilization #7 is which exercise?

• A. Heel Raises III
• B. Leg Press — parallel and rotated.
• C. Single Knee Pull.
• D. Single Knee Extension

Answer: (C)

Pelvic stabilization is about keeping the pelvis level and the spine stable while the legs move. The Single Knee Pull fits this best because you move one knee toward your chest while you actively hold the pelvis steady, preventing tipping or twisting of the hips. This requires engaging the deep core and hip stabilizers to maintain a neutral pelvis as the leg moves, which is exactly the skill being tested. The other options don’t emphasize maintaining a steady pelvis to the same degree. Heel Raises III mainly challenge ankle and foot control, not pelvic stability. Leg Press — parallel and rotated focuses on leg alignment and hip rotation, not the ongoing requirement to keep the pelvis perfectly still. Single Knee Extension isolates knee movement and can allow pelvic movement if the core isn’t engaged, so it’s less about stabilizing the pelvis.
