“Movement Solutions for Transitioning to High Threshold Training for Peak Performance”
This was a course organised by the Taiwan Physical Therapy Association, which I interpreted for Mark Comerford before moving to Australia.
This was the most challenging interpreting I have ever undertaken.
I had to translate and demonstrate high threshold training and show how to train reaction agility by dodging a ball.😂
A few key points to review：
◼︎Weakness or loss of motion are not directly related to injury recurrence. Movement Control is the key!
◼︎strong / weak ≠ control / uncontrolled
◼︎Strength training & motor control training are distinctly different processes
◼︎Central V.S. Peripheral fatigue
◼︎Clinical Guideline for Recruitment Training
◼︎Muscle classification
◼︎What go wrong in the presence of pain an pathology
◼︎Graded motor control retraining
◼︎Strategies to make the Transition from Low Threshold Motor Control Training to High Threshold Core Strengthening
◼︎7 rehab stage for peak performance
1. Control of direction
2. Control of translation
3. Control through range
4. Control of extensibility
5. Control during spinal & girdle ROM
6. Control during overload training
7. Control during high-speed movements
◼︎Make high threshold transition by adding…
• Fatiguing resistance
• Speed to the point of fatigue
• Fatiguing unstable base training (proprioceptive challenge)
◼︎Assess for ‘strength’ deficiency – “weak link”
◼︎Control with Neutral/Non-Neutral Spinal & Girdle Movement
◼︎Hight Threshold Training Examples
Looking forward to seeing you all again!
