Читать книгу Calisthenics X Mobility - Monique König - Страница 25

When Monique warms up for calisthenics training, she warms up the areas that are critical to her subsequent training. She focuses on preparing mobility-technical movement patterns.

Before her specific warm-up, this allows her to better draw on her movement repertoire during training, because she’s practiced her proprioceptive sensibility with mobility training.

If she were to spend time only on a foam roller, she’d merely stimulate her surface sensibility (exteroception), which could briefly provide her with an increased range of motion, but she wouldn’t practice her movement awareness to the same extent she would by moving.

Each body is unique. The way each one will react to stimulation of its receptors is also unique. The entire debate about needing to work our fascia separately is absolutely moving in the wrong direction. After all, we’re always affecting multiple body structures simultaneously by moving, as well as rolling on a foam roller. Affecting only one structure (fascia) is simply not possible.

Thus, I continue to ask myself this question: How can I effectively use my training time to optimize my athletic performance or that of my clients? For instance, when I’m coaching, I try out different methods to help clients move better. Movement is always the central issue when it comes to being pain-free, feeling better in one’s body, and being able to perform better during training.

When you focus on practicing your movements, on better activating your joints, and on getting stronger with a big range of motion, you’ll achieve 80 percent of the results with only 20 percent of the effort.

You should figure out if the foam roller even works for you. Just because it’s generally supposed to be good doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

Keep in mind the SAID principle (specific adaptation on imposed demands). In other words, you always adapt to the stimulus you apply to your body. Passive rolling alone won’t make you better.
