Functional Movement Kinetic Chain Dysfunction Seminar Notes!

Hey everyone,

I attended last week a great seminar on functional movement/ kinetic chain dysfunction by Mike Antoniades here in Cyprus.....believe it or not...yes fitness seminar in Cyprus.

These are some notes that you will find useful:

• The body functions as a chain. If there are any imbalances, the body tries to correct the dysfunctions and some muscles are over- firing and some are not firing at all.
• Kids should exercise (movement of any kind) at least 3 hours a day to keep fit and adults 2 hours per day.
• Some postural/ movement dysfunctions are: back pain, chronic migrane, asthma, abdominal dysfunction, infertility and gas/ bloading.
• 60% of individuals decrease symptoms that were related to postural/ movement dysfunction with just correcting posture and the way they were walking in a recent study.
• It is a fact that almost 99.99999999% of the people do not know the correct way to walk or run properly. You have to admit it that no one showed you how to walk or run the correct way . This phenomenon was proven by all the people that tried to walk and run at the seminar. I was personally amazed by that
• Most of the individuals are front thigh muscles (quads) dominant instead of the back thigh muscles (hamstrings) or back muslces while they walk or run.
• Increasing the intensity of a workout, yet your nervous system is on fire.

These are some points to think about. Walking/ Running are 2 of the most important funtamentals that are ignorted by most of you out there. They are a form of art and you can always use a help form a specialist to figure this out in detail. I'm out.........
