1 ATHLETIC CONDITIONING ON THE ARC BARREL page 1 INTRODUCTION The STOTT PILATES Athletic Conditioning stream serves as a bridge between STOTT PILATES standard repertoire and the CORE Athletic Conditioning & Performance Training program. These workshops make up the Athletic Conditioning Specialty Track and provide programming options that span Matwork, light equipment and props, and large equipment including Reformer, V2 Max Plus Reformer, and Stability Chair. Each program is designed to provide the building blocks from which a complete, targeted and thoughtful program can be created. In order to achieve this, an understanding of a recognized muscle classification system is necessary. Through this, there will be an emphasis on training the level one muscles or local stabilizers (LS) first, then gradually working toward training the level two muscles or global stabilizers (GS) followed by the level three muscles or global mobilizers (GM). A well-functioning local system will provide the foundation so the next two levels can do their jobs effectively. By utilizing this system, the focus is on ensuring that muscles at each level are performing the way they should. Keep in mind that the global system is dependent on an intact local system. It may be beneficial to assess large global movements for appropriate quality of movement and proper muscle firing sequencing. In most cases, if movement quality is poor, there is likely a breakdown in the underlying systems. Training exercises should then be regressed so more focus is placed on the LS and GS. This in turn will make the more powerful movements much more effective and potentially prevent injury. Most workshops contain examples of single-joint and multijoint strengthening exercises as well as those designed as active rest. Be aware of how exercises are being combined in order for clients to receive the best possible results. Once movement patterns have been addressed, exercises presented in the workshops may need to be modified in order to address the needs of the individual. Examine each movement and its components to determine how it might be modified to achieve the established goals. For example, most of the Athletic Conditioning workshops feature a section containing some type of plank or push up. It is crucial to explore a number of different ways to perform the movements with both progressions and regressions. With each modification, understand how the muscles in each classification are being recruited. Notice the varying degrees of upper body and torso strength and stability required to effectively perform these exercises. Where there is a Warm Up in the workshop, it is meant to flow smoothly from one exercise into the next. Any static positions should remain active through the recruitment of the neuromuscular system rather than passive reliance on the osteoligamentous structures. Keep in mind that a warm up is designed to mobilize the spine and peripheral joints in various planes of motion. In some cases, warm ups will activate the larger, two-joint muscles first, then progress to the smaller, one-joint muscles. None of the Athletic Conditioning workshops are designed to replicate sport-specific activities, but each provides overall body conditioning that improves athletic performance. In most cases, exercise selection will require the trainer to assess the needs of the individual athlete based on strengths, weaknesses and training goals.
2 page 2 ATHLETIC CONDITIONING ON THE ARC BARREL Keeping the following focus list in mind will assist in creating a well-balanced and effective program: 1. A thorough assessment of the client will give you some insight into where imbalances may be and where extra attention may be required. This initial assessment may include static and dynamic postural analysis, instruction through movement pattern tests and muscle activation. Utilize any and all means at your disposal to gather as much information as possible. 2. Adequate strength and stability of individual joints or body segments should be established before integrating the whole body, however, a complete program will include single and multiple joint movements requiring both strength and stability. It is important to recognize that if stability at one level is deficient, that must be addressed before adding other training components. An understanding of how to regress or simplify movements is necessary in order to utilize appropriate exercise modifications. Initially, choose movements that focus on segmental stability first, addressing the local stabilizers (LS), then progress to rotational control and eccentric joint range stability from the global stabilizers (GS), and finally to multi-joint actions that recruit the global mobilizers, especially those involving speed and power. A review of L1, L2, L3 muscles at each joint may be necessary to be sure you are choosing appropriate exercises and cuing the right muscles to connect. 3. Establish good neutral joint positions before beginning to strengthening the muscles around that joint. An ideal starting position is paramount before altering training variables that will challenge that stability. 4. Create optimal movement patterns and develop optimal muscle firing patterns with low loads and small range movements before adding more weight or challenging the body with increased demands for stability and range. 5. Begin with exercises that require little coordination so the focus can be on building a strong movement foundation. More complex movement patterns can be added in when ability allows, and as required by the athlete. In many cases, sequencing more complicated patterns may be beneficial. 6. Initially, focus on general fitness and development of basic athletic foundations before moving on to those that are more sport specific. 7. Once the solid foundation has been built, select exercises that are more targeted to the skills required in the individual sport. In order to accomplish this, information regarding the sport requirements is needed. This might include: a. Do they require endurance or more explosive strength? b. What side do they shoot, throw, hit etc.? c. Does their sport require more upper-body or lower-body use? The more information that can be gathered for each client, the better. Additional research into the physical demands and technique of each sport may be required in order to effectively program. Many of the Athletic Conditioning workshops, and specific exercises found within them, progress the traditional STOTT PILATES repertoire to more closely resemble concepts and ideas that are common to standard fitness or athletic conditioning. Programming variables that need to be considered include: Balance challenges Weight transfer Tri-planar movements Coordination Neuromuscular control Speed and power Joint Stability Range of Motion Interval Training Agility Drills Injury prevention
