La posición Trendelenburg es un término que se utiliza en el ámbito del rendimiento deportivo y la rehabilitación para describir una alteración en la postura y el patrón de movimiento en la cual la pelvis se desplaza hacia un lado durante la marcha o al realizar determinados movimientos. Esta posición anómala puede tener diversas causas […]
In the field of sports performance and rehabilitation, one of the concepts that has gained increasing importance in recent years is the study of fascia. Bill Parisi, a pioneer in the field of athletic training, has been one of the most influential voices in highlighting the importance of fascia, not only as a passive structure […]
Keith Baar is a renowned sports scientist known for his research on muscle and tendon physiology. One of his most interesting focuses is the concept of the “protective stress mechanism of load” and the “relaxing stress of load.” These terms refer to how the body responds to different types of load and how these responses […]
La especificidad en el entrenamiento deportivo ha sido tradicionalmente entendida como la capacidad de replicar movimientos similares a los del deporte practicado. Sin embargo, bajo la visión de los sistemas dinámicos y los planteamientos de Frans Bosch, este concepto adquiere una profundidad mayor, enfocándose en la adaptación y en la interacción entre el cuerpo del […]
Introducción La fascia, un tejido que durante mucho tiempo fue ignorado por la mayoría de los científicos y entrenadores, ha emergido en las últimas décadas como un componente esencial en el rendimiento deportivo y la salud musculoesquelética. La obra de Bill Parisi, “Fascia Training: A Whole-System Approach”, ha sido fundamental para poner en el centro […]
In the ongoing pursuit of optimizing health and physical performance, understanding fascia and biotensegrity has emerged as a crucial area of study. These two concepts, though relatively new in the fields of training and rehabilitation, offer a revolutionary perspective on how to maintain the body’s balance and optimal function. What is Fascia? Fascia is a […]
In the world of physical training and rehabilitation, understanding how to maintain joint stability during high-intensity movements is essential for preventing injuries and maximizing performance. A fundamental aspect of this stability is the phenomenon known as co-contraction, which plays a crucial role in joint protection and the effectiveness of intense exercises. What is Co-Contraction? Co-contraction […]
Muscle co-contraction is a key phenomenon in the biomechanics of movement, especially in high-intensity activities. For physical trainers and physiotherapists, understanding how and when co-contraction occurs can be crucial for optimizing athletic performance and preventing injuries. Definition and Mechanism of Co-Contraction Co-contraction refers to the simultaneous activation of antagonist muscles, meaning muscles that have opposite […]
Sprinting is one of the most intense forms of exercise in athletics, where maximum speed generation and movement efficiency are crucial. One fundamental aspect that influences performance during sprinting is muscular stiffness, or “stiffness.” This article explores how muscular stiffness affects ground reaction forces (GRF) during sprinting and why this is relevant for physical trainers […]
Sprinting is a fundamental discipline in athletics, characterized by high-speed, precise technical execution. In the biomechanical study of this technique, biomechanical attractors play a crucial role in describing how movement patterns stabilize for optimal performance. These attractors represent stable movement patterns that emerge from the interaction between biomechanical forces and the individual characteristics of the […]
