My Team Quotes to Live By

• “Those who hear not the music, think the dancer

is mad” –Chinese Proverb

• “The magic is not in the medicine but in the

patient’s body – in the vis medicatrix naturae, the recuperative or self-corrective energy of Nature. What the treatment does is to stimulate Natural functions or to remove what hinders them.” –C.S. Lewis

• “If you’re not getting better, then you’re getting

worse.” –Rick Barnes

Smart Dude Life and Sport is Movement

• Why do we do Exercises and hope they carry
• ver to better Movement?
• Why don’t we just train TRUE, AUTHENTIC

Human Movement?

What is Function?

• Traditional Definition: The natural action or

intended purpose of a person or thing in a specific role.

• Functional Definition: Function represents a

sequence of relationships in which one thing depends upon another – think complex biomechanical chain reactions within the body and between the body and its environment.

P-S-T

• Principles: “Why” you do a particular

exercise or program.

• Strategies: “How” you progress or regress

your program. The art of coaching.

• Techniques: “What” does it look like. The

particular exercises and progressions.

Unifying Principles of Movement

• Driven Externally by Gravity, Ground Reaction

Force, Mass, Momentum, and the Environment.

• Driven Internally by sub-concsious chain

reactions produced by conscious, task oriented intent.

• 3D Tri-Planar
• Complex and Variable
• Dynamic Global Movements
• Individual

Who’s This Guy?

But He Can Move? What is Movement

• Squatting
• Lunging
• Reaching
• Swinging
• Squatting and Reaching
• Lunging and Reaching
• Balance Reaching
• Jumping
• Hopping
• Joping
• Locomotion

Functional Positions

• Upright (Bilateral and Unilateral)
• Kneeling
• Sitting
• Prone
• Supine
• Side-lying

Planes Of Motion

• Planes of Motion

– Sagittal Plane

• Anterior
• Posterior

– Frontal Plane

• Right Lateral
• Left Lateral

– Transverse Plane

• Right Rotational
• Left Rotational

Tweaks or Enhancements

• Range of Motion
• Speed
• Load
• Tool
• Repetitions
• Combined Actions
• Sequencing

Complexity

• Power = Force x Velocity
• Speed: In kinematics, the instantaneous speed of

an object (denoted v) is the magnitude of its instantaneous velocity (the rate of change of its position);

• Agility: is the ability to change the body's position

efficiently, and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, endurance and stamina.

5/12/2012 5 Simplicity Through the Proprioceptors

• Joint Capsule Proprioceptors

– Golgi Mazzoni Corpuscles – Ruffini Endings – Pacinian Corpuscles

• Ligament Proprioceptors

– Golgi Ligament Endings

• Muscle/Tendon Proprioceptors

– Golgi Tendon Organs – Muscle Spindles

• Free Nerve Endings
• Fascia Proprioceptors

Chain Reaction

• In Upright Function, everything starts and ends

with the Foot.

The Foot Foot Issues “Core” Function

• The “Core” is truly everything for the nose to

the toes.

• The trunk musculature’s job is to control the

motion between the pelvis and ribcage.

Strategies

• Identify the Specific Requirements of your

Athletes and break those down to Component Movements and Transformation Zones (TZ).

• Matrix: Tweak each movement in order to

incorporate all 3 planes of motion.

• Build upon Success and layer in more Success.
