Becoming a Supple Leopard: The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Pain, Preventing Injury, and Optimizing Athletic Performance de Kelly Starrett

Becoming a Supple Leopard: The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Pain, Preventing Injury, and Optimizing Athletic Performance: CrossFit

Autor Kelly Starrett, Glen Cordoza
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mai 2015

Imaginați-vă că puteți executa un squat perfect, cu coloana stabilă și articulațiile aliniate optim, eliminând acea durere sânyâitoare de genunchi care vă limitează de luni de zile. În Becoming a Supple Leopard, Dr. Kelly Starrett nu ne oferă doar o listă de exerciții, ci un veritabil manual de mentenanță pentru „mașinăria” umană. Notăm cu interes modul în care autorul descompune biomecanica complexă în 14 zone anatomice, oferind soluții concrete pentru a restabili funcția normală a țesuturilor.

Abordarea sa amintește de Athletic Body in Balance de Gray Cook prin accentul pus pe identificarea dezechilibrelor musculare, dar adaugă un sistem vizual extrem de detaliat, cu sute de fotografii care expun „erorile invizibile” din timpul antrenamentului. Putem afirma că forța acestui volum rezidă în caracterul său practic: nu este nevoie să consultați un specialist pentru fiecare rigiditate articulară; aveți la dispoziție instrumentele pentru a vă „hack-ui” propriile tipare de mișcare. Față de lucrările sale anterioare, precum Ready to Run, care se concentra pe mecanica alergării, sau Deskbound, dedicat combaterii efectelor sedentarismului, acest ghid reprezintă chintesența filozofiei lui Starrett, fiind aplicabil oricărei forme de activitate fizică.

Ritmul este unul dens, informația fiind structurată ca o hartă de diagnostic. De la tehnici de compresie la mobilizarea capsulei articulare, volumul ne învață cum să ne pregătim corpul pentru performanță și, mai important, cum să prevenim uzura prematură. Este o lectură care transformă felul în care percepem biomecanica cotidiană, de la ridicarea unei plase de cumpărături până la un snatch olimpic.

Descriere

Updated and expanded with more than 80 pages of new content!
Improve your athletic performance, extend your athletic career, treat stiffness and achy joints, and prevent and rehabilitate injuries--all without having to seek out a coach, doctor, chiropractor, physical therapist, or masseur. In "Becoming a Supple Leopard," Dr. Kelly Starrett--founder of MobilityWOD.com--shares his revolutionary approach to mobility and maintenance of the human body and teaches you how to hack your own movement, allowing you to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. This new edition of the "New York Times" and "Wall Street Journal" bestseller has been thoroughly revised to make it even easier to put to use.
Want to truly understand the principles that guide human movement? "Becoming a Supple Leopard" lays out a blueprint for moving safely and effectively through life and sport. Want to learn how to apply those principles to specific movements, whether you are doing squats in the gym or picking up a bag of groceries? Hundreds of step-by-step photos show you not only how to perform a host of exercise movements, such the squat, deadlift, pushup, kettlebell swing, clean, snatch, and muscle-up, but also how to correct the common faults associated with those movements. Frustrated because you can't perform a certain movement correctly due to range of motion restrictions? Breaking the body down into 14 distinct areas, Starrett demonstrates hundreds of mobilization techniques that will help you resolve restrictions and reclaim your mobility. Unsure how to put it all together into a program that addresses your individual needs? This updated edition lays out dozens of prescriptions that allow you to hone in on a specific limitation, a nagging injury, or an exercise fault that you just can't seem to get right. It even offers a 14-day full-body mobility overhaul.
Performance is what drives us as human beings, but dysfunctional movement patterns can bring the human body to an abrupt halt. Often, the factors that impede performance are invisible even to seasoned athletes and coaches. "Becoming a Supple Leopard" makes the invisible visible.
