The video tutorial covers various balance exercises, emphasizing the importance of the center of mass, base of support, and the role of different body parts like toes and ears in maintaining balance. Exercises include jumper balance, side leg lifts, airplanes, hip circles, ice skates, Superman, and star side planks. The tutorial also includes a visual experiment to demonstrate the impact of visual information on balance.

What is the primary equipment needed for the balance exercises described in the introduction?

• A balance beam

• Dumbbells

• Resistance bands

• A floor mat and a timer

How does spreading your arms out wide help when balancing on one leg?

• It reduces air resistance

• It makes you lighter

• It increases your base of support

• It decreases your center of mass

Which muscles are primarily used during side leg lifts?

• Calves

• Gluteals

• Hamstrings

• Quadriceps

What role do your big toes play in maintaining balance?

• They reduce friction

• They provide cushioning

• They play a massive role when you put weight on your foot

• They help in gripping the ground

What is the vestibular system's function in balance?

• It controls muscle strength

• It detects movement through fluid and sends information to the brain

• It regulates breathing

• It enhances vision

Which core muscles are engaged during the Superman exercise?

• Obliques

• Abdominals

• Pectorals

• Deltoids

Why is it harder to balance with your eyes closed?

• Your ears stop functioning

• You lose visual information that helps maintain balance

• Your muscles become weaker

• Your center of mass shifts
