There is a gap between what coaches rrquire to keep their athletes at top performance and what doctors can deliver for treatment This happens at the highest level and obvious at the local level as well
We advise our older patients to wear cushioned shoes We advise our athletes to apply more force to enhance spring energy Absolute Strength Training Spring Strength Training (Plyometrics) Refraining from Spring Training leads to weakening of the spring mechanisms of the body and acceleration of the aging process
We doctors have to understand more about the amazing human spring Springs everywhere in the body Fingers, feet, Ear lobes even the heart muscle (titan protein) 7 floors of bones on top of 2 springs Natural efficient mechanism These springs Protect us from shock forces which cause inflammation and of course pain Energy Transfer or Recycling 25 - 70 % of your energy required to walk or run is recycled back into the body through the amazing human spring Improved Spring Energy - More natural energy - less fatigue
Hookes Law - The deeper the spring is depressed the more energy it recycles back into the walk, run, jump or spring Vital to Sports Vital to Activities of your patients daily life We want to train more spring into our patients musculoskelital systems 51 year old woman asked to jump Doctors tell patients not to jump Trainers tell athletes to jump more in fact do plyometrics The deeper the jump or the deeper the spring is depressed eccentricly the more energy it will return This means asking the 51 year old woman to jump from higher We tell them not to jump and wear cushioned shoes Cushioned shoes actually reduce the spring training to the spring Less adaptation and weaker over time This advances the aging, sarcopenia and osteopenia
