FLEXIBILITY TRAINING
FLEXIBILITY TRAINING WITH SUPER-SUIT
IMPROVE RANGE OF MOTION THROUGH STRETCHING
Flexibility as a physical ability is a decisive quality that enhances and optimizes the learning and performance in the sports movement . It is the quality that allows human beings to mobilize the body segments reaching large ranges of motion ( ROM ).
Flexibility training ( maximum request ) can be done through three basic techniques of stretching : static , dynamic , and stretching with pre-contraction . The latter group implies a previous contraction to the muscle stretch , being the most common technique the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation ( PNF ), which has shown its effectiveness in improving the range of both active and passive motion in different joints within sport .
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation ( PNF ): Flexibility with SUPER-SUIT
PNF is a method that is intended to promote or accelerate the response of the neuromuscular mechanism through the stimulation of the proprioceptors . It takes advantage of natural reflexes ( weld inhibition reflex ) to inhibit muscle contraction and thus achieve greater ROM .
The effectiveness of the PNF is based on the use of patterns of mass movement known as diagonal-spirals and on some specific techniques that sequence the muscle performance during movement patterns .
Muscles are gradually becoming more rigid , lose elasticity , and they can be even stronger , but shorter . This determines a lack of functionality that affects us negatively both physically and mentally .
Why Work Flexibility with Stretching ? To prevent this process from causing us trouble on our musculoskeletal system , we will incorporate Nuzuna ’ s SUPER- SUIT bodysuit technology with stretching practices . SUPER-SUIT is an innovative exercise and post-rehabilitation bodysuit that delivers low to mid-range electro-stimulation impulses directly to the muscles . Combining SUPER-SUIT with stretches is a widely used preventive and therapeutic technique .
There are many studies that discuss how electro-stimulation can help to achieve different objectives : improve the strength and muscular endurance , increase muscle mass , speed up recovery after exertion ; prevent and improve rehabilitation from injuries .
In recent decades its use has spread to the improvement of the physical condition in healthy subjects and athletes in order to obtain improvements in athletic performance .
Stretching with SUPER-SUIT . Everything is Possible !
Stretching with the SUPER-SUIT ’ s electro-stimulation technique has been adapted according to the indications of Maya ( 2001 ). The steps are as follows : the muscle is stretched until it has an elastic top . Then the amplitude of the electric current is increased until there is contraction and the subject no longer notices the sensation of stretching . After this , the muscle is stretched back to a new sense of tension . The cycle is repeated a total of three times . Finally , slowly lowering the intensity of current and the leg ( as an example ) returns to the rest position .
To make the muscle stretch through electrical current ( TENS ), only alternating currents whose current value is equal to zero are chosen . This type of current has a soft effect and does not burn the skin , which prevents the increase of the nociceptive inputs after treatment .
The recommended parameters for flexibility with electro-stimulation , according to literature and scientific articles , has been regulated for the application of symmetrical biphasic rectangular impetus with a phase of 0.3 msec . duration and a frequency of 40 Hz .
Since it requires full understanding about the science behind electro-stimulation and the placement of the electrodes must be oriented to get the best muscular response , it is recommended to incorporate Nuzuna ’ s SUPER-SUIT technology . With a professional Electro Muscle Stimulation ( EMS ) from nuzunafit . com you will have everything under control , offering you a comfortable feeling during your exercise session .
