Introducing Mbodies Pilates Reformer Instructor Training to Hungary

-

 



Further to the development of online Pilates education in the UK, Mbodies is gaining a strong international presence as a Pilates Education Provider by introducing its video education content and assessment programmes in countries and languages other than English.

Initial collaboration with TMSPilates studio, Budapest, introduces Mbodies Pilates Reformer Machine Education to Hungary, in the Hungarian language, and video content will be demonstrated alongside face-to-face practical interaction with students, in the studio.  TMS is the established regional distributor for Align-Pilates Reformers and as such, ideally placed to promote Pilates equipment-based training in their dedicated studio.

The courses have been prepared for introduction in two phases:

Phase 1 Initial training and assessment

Initial training of local Hungarian tutors will be performed by Mbodies in order to train students in Hungary and assess them.

TMSPilates use Mbodies tuition videos on screens in a studio for face-to-face training by a Mbodies trained Hungarian mentor, who is capable, but not yet at the full instructor trainer level.

During this initial period, all exams and assessments will be performed by the Mbodies team in the UK which now also includes native-speaking Hungarian Pilates Instructors, Andrea, and Melinda.  Students will be assessed by a combination of submission of a video of them teaching a prescribed workout, followed by a one-on-one, face-to-face, verbal and practical assessment of repertoire safety and understanding.

Translation of video materials to the Hungarian Language.

In order to translate the video instructional materials, the following process was performed:

·        English text annotated versions of the lessons in the syllabus are filmed and edited using three camera angles to fully demonstrate the various exercises or demonstrations.  Voiceovers are then recorded separately to explain the aim of the exercise, starting positions and action (including breathing,) together with anatomical target muscles and exercise watchpoints or contraindications for effective and safe exercise.  The voiceovers are edited to synchronise with the demonstration video.

·        The voiceovers are then re-recorded in Hungarian using the English videos as a guide for content.


·        The Videos are then re-edited creating new graphics to match TMSPilates branding colours, fonts, and overall style.  Written English text is translated to Hungarian offline and then replaced on the video graphics, formatting the text for any discrepancies in sentence length to the English versions.

·        Video durations are re-edited to synchronise or match the new voiceover lengths, shortening or lengthening the footage by adjusting the number of repetitions shown.

Re-editing video with Hungarian voiceover and graphics

·        Workouts, set up of the reformer and safety

In addition to the lessons for individual exercises, there are additional safety and set-up videos for the reformer itself and entire workout demonstrations incorporating the previously learned exercises.  These videos are re-filmed from scratch in the Hungarian language by Andrea, using live commentary and demonstration, then edited to TMSPilates style again.

Phase 2 Autonomous assessment in Hungary.

When the TMSPilates instructors in Hungary have progressed to the required level, all assessments will then take place entirely in Hungary.

 Introduction of Mbodies education to Hungary starts in 2022 with the Reformer but subsequently will extend to the other Pilates apparatus Tower, Chair and Barrels.

Mbodies Pilates Reformer Machine Instructor training will subsequently be rolled out to other countries and languages in the near future.

2023 Advances in Breast Cancer Treatment: Breakthroughs from ASCO Clinical Trials

  The 2023 American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual clinical meeting in cancer research showcased groundbreaking advances in Breast Cancer treatment. Among the plethora of clinical trial updates, two stand out as game-changers. Firstly, CDK4/6 inhibitors are taking a prominent position in Breast Cancer therapy.  Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4 and CDK6) are enzymes important in cell division.  CDK4/6 inhibitors are drugs designed to interrupt the growth of cancer cells.  CDK4/6 inhibitors are used in combination with hormone therapy to treat some Breast Cancers.  These inhibitors block cancer cells' growth cycle, preventing cancer progression, and were initially developed as a treatment option for endocrine therapy-resistant Breast Cancer.  Palbociclib (Ibrance®) received American FDA approval in 2015, followed by ribociclib (Kisqali®) and abemaciclib (Verzenio®) in 2017 and in the UK NICE approved it in 2018.  Researchers presented trials with these inhibitors

The complementary benefits of Myofascial release and Pilates

The combination of myofascial release with Pilates has been gaining popularity during the last decade.  Clients quickly identify the added value of the dual approach in the studio and will often practice self-myofascial release at home between Pilates sessions. Why is this ? Complementary Benefits: Myofascial release and Pilates offer complementary benefits.
