The Stability Ball (or Swiss Ball as it is called in physical therapy circles) is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment available for group class sessions. Which of the following is LEAST likely to be a benefit of using the Stability Ball for exercise?
Explanation
Answer: D - The Stability Ball provides participants with an intentionally unstable environment in order to facilitate constant adjustments in posture, balance, proprioception and weight-bearing. Class members can be positioned in sitting, prone, supine, on all fours, or on the floor with feet positioned on the ball. Thus, although the ball is low-tech, it provides individuals with an unpredictable exercise platform with almost infinite variations.
