TOTAL
SPORTS CONDITIONING
At the elite level, small
improvements in an athlete's physical or technical abilities will
translate into noticeable gain during competition. EXPERT FITNESS
SOLUTIONS' Total Sports Conditioning programs will help any
athlete get to the next level. The following are some of the advanced
techniques that Expert Fitness Solutions uses for its athletes.
Corrective Exercise
As Beryl Bender Birch states in her book Power Yoga, sports do
not get an individual in shape. In fact, sports get people out of shape.
Sports develop tight muscles and create imbalances because of repetitive
training and uneven use of muscle groups, or the excessive use of
one side of the body (1). Corrective stretching and exercise will
promote bodily alignment which will greatly reduce likelihood of injury.
These types of techniques are valuable to an athlete who is in
pre-season, mid-season or anticipating a championship event.
Neuromuscular Isolation
The nervous system is the driving force behind the muscles.
Neuromuscular isolation techniques fine tune the body and increase
nervous system efficiency.
Neuromuscular Integration
These techniques develop
full body coordination, which will increase all aspects of athletic
performance.
Advanced Core Conditioning
Research shows that all movement emanates from the core and the arms and
legs are just an extension of the body's center (2). If the core is
weak, the extremities will follow suit. Expert Fitness Solutions Total
Sports Conditioning program uses high performance core
conditioning techniques to gain the competitive edge. Athletes
will learn techniques that will improve stability, strength and power,
which are essential to all sports.
