How to get better!
If you are currently a athlete or have a young athlete who is trying to improve his overall athletic ability, then you need to be taking a comprehensive path and understanding to getting better.
While trying to improve in your selective competitive sport or training program, ask yourself do you really have a plan for getting better? If you do not have a strategic blueprint or plan of building this foundation, then it is almost like trying to build a house without a blueprint.L.G.(2000)! Listed below is the foundation that every young and mature athlete should be using, as tools, in trying to reach their athletic goals.
Biomechanics (Skill Training): Performing your skill perfectly will almost always result in greater force being applied, whether it is applied to an object, opponent or the ground. Good skills execution involves the efficient sequencing of activation of prime mover, stabilizer and synergistic muscles. Sequencing efforts involve factors of position, direction, timing, rate, speed and effect of force application or applied.
Heavy Resistance Training: Dumbbells, barbells, fluids, pressurized air, elastic devices, springs and a host of devices designed to provide “heavy” external resistance to one’s musculoskeletal effort all constitute “resistance training.” Tradition has it that exercises designed to be performed with dumbbells and barbells (and the technologies designed to simulate traditional dumbbell and barbell movements) constitute “weight training.” The existing categories of weight training technologies are: 1) constant resistance. 2) variable resistance. 3) accommodating resistance. 4) static resistance.
Therapeutic Modalities: Whirlpools, electrical muscle stimulation, massage, ultrasound, music, intense light and a host of other therapies can have a very positive effect on strength training efforts, both indirectly (how quickly you can recover from your previous workout), and directly (greater force output).
Psychological Techniques: Self-hypnosis, mental imagery training, transcendental meditation and a lot of other “mind exercises” can help improve strength output capabilities in sports and training.L.G.Fitness-Messiah. #ilivethis #toolsTOgreatness #knowledgeISpower #personaltrainerwww.lgfitnessmessiah.com
