The expert clarifies his essential role in everyday sport and life
It all depends on the corethat is, “from a set of muscles that allow the stability of the spine to be able to allow them to be fixed for the execution of peripheral movements”. With these words, Dario Molinariosteopath, physiotherapist and physical education teacher, anticipates a theme that should not be underestimated with a view to longevity. “The various movements of the human body – pressed the expert – are possible through the activation of various kinetic chains (set of bands and muscles)which is possible only if there is one Stability of the central portion of the body: that of the core“.
Because the core must be activated
–
When we talk about “core”, we refer to a broad lines to 4 muscles: transverse of the abdomen, muscles of the pelvic floor, multifida (hectors of the column) and diaphragm. The appeal of the osteopath is clear: “The correct use of the core affects visceral and gastroenteric functions and is decisive for posture. It is assumed that most of the functional movements of the whole body originate from it, including athletic and sporting gestures. That’s why many people, due to frenetic lifestyles and sedentary lifestyles, have lost the ability to perform even simple movements of everyday life. Because they don’t activate the core. The lack of trophism of this central part of the body can be the basis of various pathologies. A lower neuro/motor control of the core – he adds – in addition to being responsible for a lower athletic performance, can imply various muscle -articular failures and prepare the onset of accidents “.
How to activate the core
–
Found the cause, identified the solution: it is necessary to set off. “A good way to train the core – explains Dario Molinari – is with Multi joint exerciseswhere the whole body is involved with the various kinetic chains and the core as a connection and control point of these. Type exercises can be performed isometricwhere the most famous is the plank, paying attention to the activation of the transverse muscle of the abdomen and a correct posture of the basin. Other exercises in Isometry can be the Bridge glute, the Side Plank, the Dead Bug and the Bird Dog. When a good core control has been reached in Isometria then the same exercises can be transformed into dynamic exercises with instability, precisely to stimulate motor control. The disciplines that work on the core are postural gymnastics, pilates, yoga and Tai who. In specific cases of large alterations – the expert specifies – it would be appropriate to be followed by a osteopathfrom a physiotherapistin addition to a physical education teacher. Also a good Personal Trainer has skills in the prevention of accidents “.
