Definition of Neuro Athletic Training
Neuro athletic training is based on the understanding that the brain always prioritizes the body's safety. It evaluates the safety of every action before it is undertaken and limits or prevents unsafe actions. Neuro athletic training intervenes here with specific exercises to regain the brain's approval for such actions.
Explanation of Neuro Athletic Training
Neuro athletic training is based on the realization that the human brain always treats the safety of the organism as a priority. Whenever an action, such as a movement, is considered, the brain predicts its safety. If the brain deems an action unsafe, it will either restrict or completely inhibit it. Our actions in neuro athletic training target this exact point; specific exercises allow us to regain the brain's approval for actions previously deemed unsafe. This opens up the possibility to perform movements that were previously associated with pain, limited mobility, or muscular imbalances.
Benefits of Neuro Athletic Training
The benefits of neuro athletic training are diverse and far-reaching. They include, among others, improvements in speech disorders, any musculoskeletal problems (pain, immobility, imbalances, tensions), concentration disorders, anxiety, inappropriate emotional responses, or addictive behaviors. Since neuro athletic training works directly with the brain – the control center of every action – it allows us to address the root of the problem rather than groping in the dark.
Neuro Athletic Training in Practice
To illustrate, here's a practical example: Observe a person in the gym performing squats and just as they initiate the downward movement, you notice the hip twisting inward (i.e., one knee is further forward than the other) or maybe even drifting slightly to one side. How would this problem usually be addressed? Well, first one must understand what the problem is. From experience, many trainers would probably assume that one leg is weaker than the other. As a result, the body shifts the majority of the working weight to the stronger side because it can move the load. The trainer would then likely focus on building up the weaker leg.
Superiority of Neuro Athletic Training Over Conventional Training
The problem, however, is that while the assumption of a weaker leg may be true, it does not question the cause. If both legs were originally healthy, why did the brain classify one as safe and the other as unsafe? And can targeted training change this classification at all? Conventional training may lead to improvement but is not based on a sound understanding of the cause. Why does the brain decide this way in our example? Perhaps the balance system on the weaker side does not work as effectively (in general, during the downward movement or the upward movement), or the knee or ankle on that side are poorly represented in the brain (cortically), leading the brain to decide not to strain them. Random improvements are possible, but don't we strive for understandable, reproducible solutions instead of random outcomes?
