107: Unleashing the Power of the Coiling Athletic Core with David Weck | Sponsored by SimpliFaster

Just Fly Performance Podcast - Podcast készítő Joel Smith, Just-Fly-Sports.com - Csütörtökök

Today’s episode features biomechanist and inventor David Weck. David has devoted thousands of hours to the intensive study of human movement and locomotion, and training implications. His inventions focus on building the rotational, pulsing and coiling abilities of the body, as well as the feet, in a manner that fits with natural locomotive abilities. As a coach looking to integrate the field of sports performance as closely as possible with natural human function (and not creating programs fully centered around qualities needed to perform a bilateral barbell lift), this is a great addition to the Just Fly podcast lineup. David Weck is the creator of WeckMethod and the CEO and Founder of BOSU Fitness. He is the inventor of the BOSU Balance Trainer, the new WeckMethod BOSU Elite, the RMT Club, and other products. He has worked in fitness for more than 22 years and has helped people of all fitness levels including elite athletes from multiple sports. He is a consummate student of movement who believes physical education is the foundation for a happy and healthier world. For today’s episode, we go into one of the biggest “hot-buttons” in the industry which is the action of the trunk and “core” in sport movement and related training implications. Many coaches will put a heavy program emphasis on the ability to brace and resist (in order to transmit force) through using the core, but the reality is that actual observed sport movement, as well as a study of human evolution (Piscean locomotion theory) shows a different strategy in training integration. This episode is fully loaded, and goes into this performance aspect in detail, in addition to many other aspects of athletic movement, including the action of the arms that carries an instant transfer to improving speed. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster.com, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.
