Athletic or Performance Care Routines

The Release Your Kinetic Chain series of books focuses on helping you resolve your injuries and preparing your body for performance level training.

 If your primary objective is to resolve an injury and you have no interest in athletic or performance care, then you can move directly to the next chapter.

 For the rest of you, there are several factors you should consider once you have attained a level of fitness where your body is ready to begin performance training.

Athletic performance training is all about speed, power, and strength, which in turn are based on the development of superb neuromuscular control. Great neuromuscular control (the training of your nervous system to perform a task) is what defines the world’s best athletes – not strength or muscle size. There are some similarities (as well as some huge differences) in the objectives of rehabilitative exercise and athletic or performance training. In both, the development of neuromuscular control remains critical.

Athletic or Performance training has greater risks than rehabilitation training. Athletic training often involves riding the fence between overloading the body (to increase strength and power) and reaching the point of tissue failure (injury). With Performance training, there is always a greater chance of injury.

Athletic or Performance training differs from rehabilitative training in its:

 Increased risk of injury.

 Need to work through muscle pain.

 Need to increase resistance to the point of overloading the muscles.

 Requiring speed training.

 Development of the anaerobic system.

Before Beginning Athletic Training

The following are a few fundamental principles that you should keep in mind before you start the Athletic or Performance training routines:

  Principle 1: Athletic Development is Not the Same as Body-Building! - page 8

  Principle 3: Some Muscle Pain is Okay - page 10

  Principle 4: Develop Your Aerobic Zone Before Working on Your Anaerobic Zone - page 11
