If this is the case, we should find that the main causes of specificity in strength gains after training with different types of external load are regional hypertrophy and joint angle - specific changes in neural drive (especially
at end range of motion).
«Gyrotonics use a flow of fluid movements that take the body up to and through
its end ranges of motion,» continues Licameli.
For example, grab two lighter dumbbells and exaggerate
the end range of motion to move the scapula into protraction.
In theory, if you can become more flexible at
your end range of motion, you become more flexible in all ranges of motion.
The fix: «Begin at
the end range of the motion to find out how much tension you need,» Grant says.
There is a concern for injury when athletes who have hyper - mobile joints reach
their end range of motion during weightlifting because the body is not maximally stable in these extreme positions.
This is particularly important when you're working at
the end ranges of motion.
This muscle stabilizes the joint and help slow the movement toward
the end range of motion.
Use resistance bands to take joints to
end ranges of motion.
I'm going to come to
my end range of motion as defined by the back remaining flat.
You have to train your central nervous system to be strong at
the end range of motion and a smart way of doing that is with isometric contractions.
This will give your central nervous system more time to recognize the position of weakness and strengthen
the end range of motion.
When you train using only concentric and eccentric muscle contractions without out pausing at the end range of a movement (exercise) when the desired muscle is fully contracted, your joints don't get strong and stable at
the end range of motion.
As the strength of your muscles improves, especially at
the end ranges of motion, so will your flexibility.
