It'll be that time again soon. As every year, when winter seems to be at its boiling point, it's time for the first training session after a long winter break.
While the motivated youngsters are already eagerly waiting for the start of training in their neatly cleaned and decorated with neon appliqués decorated with neon appliqués, he comes in. The 'enfant terrible' of the team, playmaker and draftsman in personal union.
Someone like Effenberg in the past — that's how you know him. Slowly and with a certain lack of interest, he shuffles through the poorly heated cabin. It seems that apart from many impartial people, nothing can upset him — that is also how you should know him. A few moments later, great amazement, murmurs and a soft grin:
The shirt stretches, a small tummy always cheeky and is only laboriously tamed by the sports underwear. A resounding slap in the face for the fitness craze. Perhaps the end of all dreams of success?
Definitely a risk to his health! With its ever-growing momentum, soccer is now one of the fastest team sports.
This creates forces on the musculoskeletal system that represent a multiple of our body weight. Forces that can be too many under certain conditions — especially if you're not prepared enough.
After all, prevention of injuries can only be expected with a stable basic framework of athletics.
An example: One of the youngsters described above has overrun his opponent with his speed (often he is even faster than the game equipment) and lo and behold, he spoons in a buttery soft flank with surgical precision.
In order to become the much-acclaimed hero and to be able to be the leader even more in the subsequent get-together, our strategist must slow down his sprint, jump explosively upwards, build up bow tension in his upper body and — in the opinion of the coaches — balance the ball into the goal against the goalkeeper's direction of running to the winning goal.
What all the movements have in common is the transfer of force from the lower extremities to the head. Doing this without loss of acceleration and without risk of injury is now sometimes the task of our core muscles — the “core”.
Will he be able to do it again this time?
The language of “core training” is when you want to improve the entire area between diaphragm and hip through targeted stability and mobility training. Abdominal, back, even hip and gluteal muscles are involved. Sometimes, depending on the definition, the shoulder apparatus is also included. This shows the central importance of our core, which is why it is all the more important to pay attention to the interplay of muscles — or entire muscle chains — during training. Functional training is therefore nothing new, but it is still an elementary component in the prevention of injuries. Improved inter- and intramuscular coordination, i.e. the interplay within the muscle and between the muscles, has been shown to help you master a lengthy season without prolonged downtime.
B42 - Your digital assistant trainer
Peter Breitfeld is a performance coach for COROX, the training philosophy of Olympic physiotherapist Hans Friedl. He trains Germany's best and most successful athletes every week. Next week, he's even flying to Spain for a Tour de France team to prepare them for the next cycling season. He views the topic of core training ambivalently.
”Core training Or training the core muscles is, of course, justified. Especially because it is easy and structured for athletes to implement and set up exercises — but that is only the basis.
For me, the neurocentric approach plays a much more important role and is more than just a great ad-on.
Because improved proprioceptive perception of the spine gives you more optimized reflex tension, which is of fundamental importance, especially with countless changes of direction, stopping movements, etc. In a duel in which you have to react to shocks, kicks or anything else within milliseconds, this tension is even unavoidable.
In addition, the equilibrium channels can be activated or balanced in this approach. This ensures a stable head position. Since this also influences the spine downwards, it also provides more stability — and protection against injuries.”
And Peter Breitfeld I need to know. After all, his expertise is also based on two major mentors. Hans Friedl from COROX and Dr. Eric Cobb from Z-Health, where he has already been able to attend numerous training courses.
Even though our strategist hasn't heard anything about all these things at the moment — his raccoon belly violates all laws of gravity and gravity Core trainings in the air. He doesn't simply “just” head the flank against the goalkeeper's running direction. He'll make a painting out of it.
With a Bergkamp chest acceptance, he leaves his guard puzzled, like the supernanny a rebellious child on the silent staircase. He then uses a loose jack to outplay the hurrying goalkeeper.
The rest is just a formality. The kibitzes on the sidelines are amazed and ask themselves what would have happened if various injuries in adolescence had not robbed him of the profit rooms.
We probably won't be able to let every player mutate into a technical ace á la Dennis Bergkamp. However, it is our task to get your injury concerns under control over the long term and ultimately to improve your dynamics.
