“Isolated” vs. Integrated: Motor Learning Reality (Transfer)
“The present research was designed to investigate the mechanisms how ageing and orthopaedics disorders interact in determining and recovering from an impaired fast STS movement. Our findings verify the hypotheses that, in elders with motor impairments consequent to orthopaedic disorders (MIE), ageing and functional impairment reduce the performance in a successful fast sit-to-stand (STS) movement and that increasing knee extensor muscle strength improve this capability. On the basis of the comparison with healthy elderly subjects, we found that trunk bending momentum and knee extensor muscle strength are significant determinants of the fast STS capability in MIE as well as in healthy elders.”

Muscle Activation Techniques
Muscle Activation Techniques (M.A.T.) is a dynamic system to analyze and correct your body’s muscle-imbalances. These techniques have been very successful in the reduction of pain and fatigue, as well as the enhancement of muscle recovery in athletes.
We recommend that anyone currently involved in sports, physical performance and/or a rehabilitation program seek out a MAT practitioner to make sure they are getting all the things they want (and nothing they don’t want) from their exercise program.
Here are a few videos we made to help viewers begin to understand that if you really want to fix the way your body works, there is more to consider than just the area that hurts…
