Which Pelvic Stabilization exercise uses 8-12 reps per side and is described as Single Knee Pull?

• A. Pelvic Stabilization #6 Heel Raises III
• B. Pelvic Stabilization #7 Single Knee Pull
• C. Pelvic Stabilization #8 Single Knee Extension
• D. Pelvic Stabilization #9 Leg Press

Answer: (B)

The movement being tested is about maintaining a stable pelvis while moving a limb, which is the essence of pelvic stabilization work. The Single Knee Pull asks you to draw one knee toward the chest while keeping the pelvis level and the spine neutral. This targets the deep core and hip stabilizer muscles, teaching them to control the pelvis in a unilateral (one-leg) task. The 8-12 reps per side cue matches a practical endurance-focused range for stability training. It provides enough repetitions to train coordination and neuromuscular control without fatiguing the stabilizers too much, while also ensuring each side gets its own work. Doing the exercise on both sides promotes balance and symmetry in pelvic control. Other options describe different movements or targets: a heel-raise sequence focuses on the calves; a knee extension variation changes the action away from pulling the knee toward the chest while stabilizing the pelvis; a leg press is a broader leg strength exercise that doesn’t emphasize unilateral pelvic stabilization.
