Explanation:

• Question 7: Articulation exercises in Pilates focus on joints. The spine is a key area. Improving joint mobility (especially of the spine) is the goal. Lung capacity (related to breathing, not articulation), core muscle strengthening (more about stability/muscle work than joint movement), and cardiovascular fitness (related to heart/lungs, not joint articulation) are not the main purposes.
• Question 8: Qigong in Tai Chi warm - up is based on traditional concepts of energy flow (Qi). It also involves gentle movements that enhance flexibility. Improving joint mobility (more specific to certain joint - focused exercises, not the main essence of Qigong in Tai Chi warm - up), strengthening core muscles (not the focus of Qigong here), and increasing heart rate (Qigong in warm - up is usually slow, not for heart rate increase) are incorrect.

Answer:

1. Improve joint mobility, specifically of the spine
2. Promote energy flow and flexibility
