The Power of Biomechanics

Biomechanists from our Sports Performance Analysis group on LinkedIn had a discussion yesterday. The question was posed, “Does anyone have any idea why the uptake and use of advanced biomechanics and kinematic data is largely restricted to University labs and a wealth of overwhelming evidence is not used in professional sport?” Do we sound like science nerds?

My contribution was, “We [biomechanists] offer the finest tuning at the root of motion. Acceptance and understanding have come a long way for the other professionals contributing to performance training. We just need to keep plugging away.” So, I keep plugging away, researching, applying, and educating. I believe our time will come.

Meanwhile, let me show you a video which exemplifies the body's ability to perform what the mind calculates. Robert Carlos, on February 21, 1998, did what he trained to do. You will see the payoff for learning how to use rotational physics to his advantage. To do this, he taught his muscles in many ranges to respond to what he trained his mind to accurately judge. He diligently mastered being able to supply his body to meet his high demand. His phenomenal feat did not happen by accident. Watch his other amazing goals and check out other elite soccer players to verify that they are mastering the mind with the body.  They have as many muscles and bones as you do.  




What I offer as your biomechanical specialist are the means for you to do whatever you want your body to do. I am prepared to help you gain control and confidence in your body to whatever level you want. From cosmetic and overcoming joint problems to incredible strength and ranges of motions, you and I hold power to upgrade your life and its activities by elevating your biomechanics.
