4 things a warmup should address

Corrective strategies, muscle activation, motor rehearsal, preparation for intense work

5 Advantages of temperature related warmup

Decrease resistance in muscles and joints


Greater o2 release


Faster metabolic reactions


Faster nerve signaling


Increased cellular respiration

5 Advantages on non temperature related warmup

Increased blood flow to muscles


Improved mental focus


Physical readiness


Post activation potential (PAP)


Breaking of actin myosin bonds reduces stiffness

Excessive increase in core temperature can cause

A decrease in preparedness

How much exercise for how long will let body reach a temperature equilibrium

80-100 percent of lactate threshold for 10 minutes

Active warmup

Promote tissue efficiency. Increase temp and improve mental focus.

Passive warmup

Emphasizes external means to elevate core temperature such as sauna or hot shower. Limited use in athletic performance.

5 things a warmup should do

Correct muscle distortions


Promote activation of inhibited tissue


Create metabolic homeostasis


Increase force coupling


Practice movements prior to loading


General warmups

Utilizes large muscles and gross movements such as jogging to increase muscle temperature. Intensity should be low to moderate to increase temp for 5-10 min without causing fatigue.

warmup can be broken down into these 3 progressive segments

General component


Goal oriented activities


Neural preparation actvities

Example of a warmup before a ballistic workout centered around Olympic lifts

General- jump rope 30 seconds intervals for 3 minutes


Goal- preform closed-chain movements (Olympic) lifts


Neural- preform submaximal Olympic lifts (rehearsal)


Goal

Static stretching can be

Ergolytic (ergo-litic)

3 things you can do for an athlete that is susceptible to strains such as a reoccurring hamstring pull

Activate the limiting tissue using progressive dynamic warmup


Use active isolation and or proprioception neuromuscular facilitation (pnf stretches)


Re-activate the tissue prior to training using neural emphasized applications

Active isolation

Another name for reciprocal inhibition

Proprioreceptive neuromuscular facilitation

A method of enhancing mobility by contracting a stretched muscle once terminal rom has been attained. Allow for increased ROM via autogenic inhibition.

Sports specific warmup (3 things)

Maintains muscle temp and prepare muscles for sports specific actions


Dynamic rom drills are key component.


During final segment athlete should be ready to engage in sports specific work with reduced muscoskeletal restrictions


Can be useful to engage after finishing a sports specific warmup

Dynamic stretching

Proper progression of sports specific warmup (4 things to make better)

Gradual increase in movement rom


Increase the complexity and intensity


Maximize movement speeds

Dynamic stretching

Emphasizes controlled movements through full rom to improve specific flexibility

Optimizing neuromuscular activation (4 things)

Phosphagen based drills including sport specific speed and agility


Must allow safe achievement of max intensity work without creating fatigue


For single event sports the warmup should promote benefits to PAP


If an athlete has activation issues (such as over active hip flexors) corrective drills such as muscle inhibition creates faulty movement

Optimizing metabolic preparedness (4 things)

To finalize a warmup use a 5 minute segment that focusing on achieving metabolic stabilization


Sports specific drills with appropriate rest intervals can elevate vo2 to improve anaerobic recovery


The rest period following this segment should allow full recovery without too long


Optimal preparation will help negate acute physiological stress

When should it be in warmup and how long. How can it affect running. Should you have rest and if so how long. What will it do.

Designing an athletic performance warmup

May last 10-30 min


5-10 min general warmup


5-10 min sports specific


5-7 neuromuscular activation


5 min metabolic preparedness


5 min recovery

Oh squat progression example

Oh squat with towel


Oh squat with band pull


Oh squat with bar

Example of breaking down the power clean and jerk into 4 separate parts

Olympic bar clean pull


High pull


Clean receive


Split jerk

6 factors that can influence recovery

Variations in training volume


Gender and age


Training tenure


Stress levels


Recovery methods employed


Nutritional support

Doms timeline

Increase during the first 24 hours


Peaks between 24-72 hours


Fully subsides with 5-7 days

Primary risk factor for doms

People with low levels of fitness


Performing eccentric or ballistic exercises

Secondary risk factors of doms (4 things)

Detraining or reinitiating a training regimen


Performing completely new exercises


Using a greater rom than a joint is used to


dramatic changes to training volume

3 things it is proposed that doms is caused by

Disruption of sarcomeres


Impairment of muscle cells


Causes Inflammation

Apparently Effective Recovery from doms (5 things)

No gold standard. Placebo effect is significant


Exercise


NSAIDs


Compression


Whole body vibration

Varied recovery on doms depending on the athlete (3 things)

Cryotherapy


Nutraceutics


Madsage

Not effective on doms

Acupuncture or electrical currents

Myofascial restriction

Often experienced among athletes who engage in repeated loading without fascia treatment and efforts to maintain mobility

Myofascial restriction results in these 3 things

Reduced rom


Negative changes in movement biomechanics


Painful trigger points

3 things that contribute towards myofascial restriction

Autonomic effects


Mechanical changes


Activation of mechanoreceptors

Cnf feedback loop that may partially explain how SMR helps alleviate myofascial restriction

Tissue manipulation


stimulation of mechanoreceptors


CNS


Tonus change of related skeletal motor units


Tissue response


Back to tissue manipulation

SMR protocol

Pressure is applied to the restricted tissue using various modalities (foam rolling, hard balls etc.)


Compressive rolling action is preformed across the fascia for segments of 30-60 seconds


Pressure can be modified through positional change and contractions


High pressure 3 second holds are used for areas of restriction and trigger points


Major changes= isolation of target areas with application of adequate pressure

Lower leg myofascial restriction (3 muscles) pictures

Medial calf- restriction is often caused by rapid increase in high impact plyometric training


Gastrocnemius- athletes who have done a lot of vertical ballistics, jump training, Olympic lifts


Tibialis anterior- athletes who are prone to shin splints

Thigh and hip (6 muscles)

Quads/hip flexors- training with high eccentric stress on low body


Hamstrings- athletes who have experienced hamstring strains


Piriformis- athletes with toe out gait. Needs to be stretched to keep glutes from being involved


Hip adductors- athletes who have valgus in squats


Hip abductors- athletes with pelvic instability, low back pain, or trigger points that create pain similar to sciatica


Glute max- useful for athletes who present posterior pelvic tilting during pulls from the floor

Trunk and upper body smr (5 muscles)

Erector spinae- used to reduce restriction in key phasic stabilizers during compound lifts


Upper back- used for trigger points created by upper cross syndrome and trap imbalances and trap imbalances. Sometimes need a hard ball.


Used for reducing hyper tonicity due to overuse which can lead to shoulder dysfunction


Lats- athletes with tightness that limits overhead movements


Levator scap/upper traps- useful for athletes with mid/lower trap weakness and upper cross syndrome


Trigger points

Hypersensitive point due to myofascial restriction and/or neural entrapment

Mechanoreceptors
