The Science and the human shape!

When we think about the forces we can apply to the user of P9 exercise system we would like to vary the stress and overtime make sure all different force applications are tolerated.One component that is more vital than we previously thought is fluid flow. Adult humans have 60-70% water in the body. The interactions with forces create fluid flow that then shapes us both on the outside and on the inside. Every orgran is attached to the spine andspine movement pumps the organs, which again tells us that movement is essential for health.If we look at the traditional way of exercising, it creates a more local pump effect in a specific muscle, but we do not work in that...

P.E.One grupclass training with Procedos Platform9

Post in the Instagram from coach @_fridadahl I'm in love again.  In sweat, skin, endorphins and energy.  In loud music and fighting spirit.  Love to be back at work and kick off the body with lots of exercise now after a nice summer 💙 Love how good it makes you feel.  I am clearly the best version of myself when I activate the body regularly and it Give me response! The picture is after my absolute favourite workout: P.E One.  In that session, strength, explosiveness, reaction and movement in different directions are trained and challenged.  @ahlinjenny you are a genius 🙏 Two things I can say about that class, 1. I ALWAYS have exercise pain the days after.  Says something...

Movement Variability with procedos Platform9

• We automatically decrease movement variability with given tasks. Performance in many sports is about stiffness in certain regions in certain tasks. If we mobilize the segment, we might hinder performance and increase risk of injury. An example can be an old dancer or an old swimmer who have mobility but who have lost the integrity/stiffness when they stopped doing their sport. • Our goal is to maintain, increase or decrease MV depending on the person and on the task. • We believe that given the right exercise, the system will take care of the MV, as it is a self- regulating system. • In changing MV verbal cues are unlikely to produce a sustained learning environment. We believe that...

What is Function?

We define function as the summation of an individuals needs and wants required to accomplish a goal. Therefore, in order for an exercise to be functional, it must have a purpose. We will use the R3 programming to identify, categorize, then program for each client’s individual goals. By understanding and implementing the Functional Sphere, we can assess and RESTORE motion.   1st Principle Functional Sphere Satisfy Needs What Is It? Imagine a giant bubble surrounding your body. Where does it end? By using either your hand or foot, reach as far away from your body as possible in all directions. These are the outer limits of your current functional sphere. And it is within this sphere where all functional exercise...

Procedos logical reasoning - research of training metods towards the results

Movement Variability (MV) There is no available research on ideal MV or movement capability, so we have to use logical reasoning. In most cases* the clients seem to find their optimal way of performing the task or exercise. As coaches, our responsibility is to observe, give cues, and create other learning opportunities. Does MV give the user better flexibility to adapt to different environments? Restrictions in movement can become low MV. A stable behavior can be performed in varying ways. MR seems to increase with practice. We need to make novel changes to an exercise if we want to increase the stable MV. Complex movement increases the demand for self-organization. “Promoting complex variation in human movement allows either motor development...
