Performance Pillar Training – Foundational Stability & Strength
Defined
Warding (verb)
- to guard or protect
- to fend off or create space
Warding Patterns (IoM)
- generating body wide tension against external force while producing pre-position or gross movement patterns
- maintaining whole body tension while producing integrated movement patterns
Rationale
- We must be able to produce and transmit force in an integrated fashion
- The neuromyofascial system responds better to variation than to repetition
- Whole body, “complex” movement is critical to systemic adaptation
- Vector variable & proprioceptively rich exercise is extremely beneficial to the neuromyofascial system
- Warding and other Loaded Movement Training styles allow muscles to turn on AND off
- Efficiency, preparedness and capacity
Adaptability
Wolff’s Law:
Skeletal structure is organized/reorganized according to the applied lines of stress
