1 PILLAR PREPARATION LEARNING OBJECTIVES Understand how the concept of the Core has evolved Identify the components of the pillar and their function Explain the concept of kinetic linking and explain its application Explain where Pillar Prep fits into program design Understand how to prepare the pillar for optimal performance 2 1

3 Pillar Strength is simply the blend of mobility and stability through the hips torso and shoulders

4 PILLAR PARADIGM SHIFT Crunches and planks do not define the core The trunk is less likely to be a structure that generates force and more likely a structure that tolerates/conducts force. It allows for MOVEMENT AND FORCE TRANSFER 7 8 4

13 PILLAR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE 25 PILLAR EFFICIENCY OF MOVEMENT The The role of the nervous system is coordinate movement through muscle recruitment and managing that movement based on sensory feedback. The system has innate patterns that it calls upon to begin and develop movement patterns. Immediately at birth we have neurological patterns that facilitate survival. The first being breathing, second being rooting reflex to fill need for food. This is the basis of our movement- survival. Habitual movement helps develop patterns that are unique to each persons movement signature. Cook et al, Part 1 and

14 Our goal is to prime the nervous system so it can perform optimally and utilize the full mobility and potential of the body

It must release or the tightness could get worse, versus improving. Barrel Roll rolls over a muscle - Hold pressure over the trigger point until it releases. It must release or the tightness could get worse, versus improving. - Then repeat by rolling the length of the muscle again. MacDonald et al, De laspenaset al 42 21

23 PILLAR POSTURE True spine stability is achieved with a balanced stiffening from the entire musculature focusing on a single muscle generally does not enhance stability but creates patterns that result in less stability.

PROGRAM DESIGN 49 CHECK FOR LEARNING 03 List the 3 components of Pillar Prep. Write down when Pillar Prep should be sequenced in the training session.

25 PROGRAM DESIGN 49 CHECK FOR LEARNING 03 List the 3 components of Pillar Prep. Write down when Pillar Prep should be sequenced in the training session. Design an example of Pillar Prep for this athlete: The athlete has good depth in the deep squat, but is unable to keep the stick overhead (FMS 2). The training session for the day is linear

26 CONCLUSION DEFINITION ANATOMY/PHYSIOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION The pillar is involved in every element of training and sport. - Pillar Strength is the blend of mobility and stability through the hips torso and shoulders. Breathing is another primary function of the pillar. - Understand how training the pillar affects posture and performance. 26

27 DEFINITION ANATOMY/PHYSIOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION The hardware of the pillar forms the structural integrity that allows optimal performance in sport and life. - Hips and Pelvis - Lumbar Spine and Thoracic Spine - Shoulders The software of the pillar includes the central nervous system that coordinates movement through muscle recruitment and managing that movement based on sensory feedback. DEFINITION ANATOMY/PHYSIOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION It is important to understand when to approach training the pillar. - Train the pillar at the beginning of the session to lay a foundation of advanced movements Consider your athletes needs, abilities, and limitations when addressing the pillar. - Prioritize soft tissue, mobility, and then activation in training your athletes. 27
