Sports-Neuromuscular Stimulation & Mirror Resistance

2013/08/16 11:44 PM / Leave a comment


Neuromuscular stimulation provides your strength, coordination, reflexes, and balance. If this system is lacking you will not have these capabilities in daily living or athletics.  
The neuromuscular stimulation and feedback loops are highly responsive to high frequency contractions which occurs during the rapid compression movements performed during cardio burst workouts. These feedback loops are referred to as Mirror Resistance.
 
Squat Run beginning position. You may want to try dropping closer to heels to increase the muscle activity. As you run in and out of the squat, try touching the foot pads when in full squat. Give yourself that extra challenge building your cardio and strength.

The movements are characterized by rapid foot padding or alternating toe/heel compression while moving in and out of a “squat run” or crouching running position keeping the feet in contact with the foot pads of the SANDDUNE™ throughout the session .  
The SANDDUNE™’s properties feed your body’s effort  back into your body with the same force that you exert into the apparatus. It excels in improving endurance and proprioceptive functions of lateral movement, leg speed and balance because of its capability. These are crucial components of sports performance in multiple disciplines, the performing arts and fitness.
 
 
 
 

Younger Dance Students

…I have found it great to use with my younger students who 1 – lack coordination 2 – don’t understand the idea of engaging all muscles and 3- need to work on balance, control and core engagement. I would be happy to share my process with anyone interested. This tool is really making a difference in the kids training- would really love to utilize it with classrooms of kids instead of one on one.
