In part 3 of this series I provide a short breakdown as to how your CARs relate to your joint specific mobility training. We undervalue the specificity of training and the relationship between our ability to move in specific spaces with our training outcomes.
It seems so simple to understand that if you can’t move into certain ranges then you can’t train those ranges. It also would make sense that if you can’t control a range then you can’t train it effectively until you’ve gained more control.
Your body will use whatever pathway is available to work with and we can get away with this for a long time. What I want for my clients is a minimum amount of range for the things they want to do, with a buffer just in case.
Since our body will use whatever it has available, the tissue that is available may be highly trained, while the tissue that is not available for movement may be undertrained.
It would seem logical to think that if we can better train a broader range of tissue, we can have better outcomes in our performance or activities that we enjoy.
Have a look at this short video and leave me a comment letting me know your thoughts.
