Biomechanics is the sport science field that applies the laws of physics to human performance, in order to gain a better understanding of athletic performance. This is done through modeling, simulation and measurement. Physical limitations and movement optimization are of great interest to athletes, coaches, researchers and physicians. Biomechanics allow us to learn more…
You will need coordination and dynamic balance to achieve athletic excellence and your full potential. Training must involve multiple joints and compound muscle actions that demand coordination, proper body positioning and joint and core stability. Training at higher levels of acceleration requires greater levels of coordination and dynamic balance. XCEED’s training for fast reactive motor…
Proprioception is the unifying element for all quality athletic movement. It determines how muscles respond. While movement is the continual exchange of force production and force reduction our proprioceptive ability greatly determines our movement awareness and movement efficiency. Proprioceptive ability is trainable. The central nervous system and sensory receptors are conditioned to respond to muscle…
The body is a single system-not just a series of muscles. These muscles work in a linked manor-like a chain. When it comes to sport performance training the term “kinetic chain” describes how an athlete moves his/her body. For efficient flowing movements to occur there must be an integration of all parts. It doesn’t matter…
Great athletes don’t even look like they are trying. Ever wonder why? This is because they are only using appropriate muscles while at the same time they are relaxing inappropriate muscles. Dynamic, integrated, whole body movement sequences are commonplace with elite athletes. This is because they are only stimulating appropriate muscles while relaxing inappropriate muscles.…
XCEED’s training programs adapt the nervous system producing greater speed and power within athletes. When clients jump higher or run faster after training, the improvements come from the nervous system better controlling the muscular system. Our high speed training stimulates fast twitch muscle fibers and the neuromuscular system. Therefore muscles learn how to react and…
Through XCEED‘s unique training system, athletes learn correct motor patterns and skills associated with starting, accelerating, and changing direction, as well as reaching and maintaining top end speed. Athletes improve their overall running technique. This program emphasizes effective movement patterns teaching athletes essential sprinting skills. Each session becomes more challenging ensuring athletes know how to…
