Guide the development of muscle bark: anatomy, tests and training program
Sport And Fitness / / December 19, 2019
Muscles bark - this is not only the rectus abdominis, or the press, as many believe. This is a complex muscle, which is involved in virtually every movement.
These muscles contract as the isometric and isotonic, can stabilize the movement, transmit the voltage from one extremity to the other, or be a source of movement in general.
The structure of the muscle bark
In this muscle group, there are three levels deep, and many muscles are hidden under those who prefer to train the majority of people, that is in direct and oblique muscles of the abdomen.
Here is a list of external muscles in this group:
- rectus abdominis;
- external obliques;
- latissimus dorsi;
- gluteal muscles;
- adductors;
- trapezius muscles.
The second layer of bark muscles:
- internal obliques;
- erector spinae muscles;
- infraspinatus muscles.
Third layer of muscles bark:
- transverse abdominal muscles;
- iliopsoas muscle;
- pelvic floor muscles;
- diaphragm;
- square lumbar muscles;
- multifidus muscle.
Muscle function bark
Most often bark muscles act as stabilizers and the center of power transmission, rather than the source of traffic.
Many train these muscles with isolated exercises, such as the abdominals or back. They do curling or the ups body instead of functional exercises such as the deadlift, squat, push-ups and a variety of other exercises closed kinetic chain.
Vocabulary closed kinetic chain (or closed circuit) carried rigidly fixed with the body segment. For example, when you press, rigidly fastened hands and feet: they stand on the floor and do not move.
Training with the help of isolated exercise, you are not only missing out on the main muscle function bark, but also lose the ability to develop strength and learn how to better control their movement.
Developed muscles bark gives the ability to control the power that we use. according to theAssesment Of core stability: developing practical models. Valdhema researcher Andy (Andy Waldhem), there are five different components stability bark: strength, endurance, flexibility, control of movement and functionality.
Without control of movement and functionality remaining three components are useless: the fish, which pulled out of the water, can not do anything, no matter how strong and hardy.
Keeping the body stability during any activity, be it running, jerk the rod or lifting weights at home, you reduce the risk to injure your back.
How to determine the level of the body stability and strength of muscles bark
To measure your level of housing stability, can be used functional assessment of movements.
Functional assessment of movements (Functional Movement Screen, FNS) - a system consisting of the seven tests that objectively assess the basic motor skills of the athlete. This system was developed by the American therapists Gray Cook (Gray Cook) and Lee Burton (Lee Burton).
Stability test body via push
In FNS test there are several estimates - from 0 to 3 where 0 - movement causes pain, 1 - test not performed or formed not completely, 2 - test is performed with compensatory movements or Lite embodiment, 3 - movement performed perfect. We will use a simplified version of the test to grade 2 and two versions: made / not made.
First, stand in the position of the lowest point of the push-ups: you are lying on the floor, palms stand side by side with the shoulders, feet - on the balls. In men, the palm should be at chin level, women - at the collarbone level.
In one motion, lift yourself upward from this position, keeping the body straight. Make it easier to evaluate the results, you can use bodibar: put it along the back to see how the body stays straight.
- You must maintain the correct position throughout the test (hands should not move down below).
- Chest and stomach off the floor simultaneously.
- The body rises as a whole, without bending the spine (to find out, use a stick).
If any of these criteria is missing, the test does not count. You have three attempts to assess.
If you have successfully passed the test for stability, try to assess their strength.
Test the strength of the muscles bark
Plank and side plank determine the strength of the crust in a static, while pulling your knees to your chest in a vise and lift the legs to the horizontal bar allows to evaluate the dynamic force.
Also we offer to evaluate the strength and stability of the rear of the crust by doing one rep deadlift with a suitable weight.
Plank on elbows
Stand in the bar at the elbows and hold it for 90 seconds. During this time, the back should be straight and hips - are raised. You can reuse bodibar to assess the accuracy of the posture. Forearm parallel to the back, just below the elbows shoulders.
To find and maintain the correct position in the bracket, proceed as follows:
- take a starting position when the elbows are at shoulder;
- tighten your quadriceps and lift the knees;
- Squeeze your buttocks;
- tighten your rectus abdominis.
When all three muscle groups will be reduced right thigh will take the correct position and bending at the waist will be eliminated.
Side strap
hold lateral strip for 60 seconds. The elbow must be clearly below the shoulder and the foot - one above the other. Direct provision should be retained both horizontally and vertically.
Knees to the chest or the foot to the horizontal bar
Make five pull-up knees to the chest for a passing grade elevations and five feet to the horizontal bar for maximum points.
Before lifting the feet, check the alignment of the shoulders to make exercise safe for the shoulder joint. To do this, try to straighten his shoulders and lowered in the position of Vis.
Slowly and gently lift your legs to a horizontal bar (or knees to his chest) and then lower them as slowly and smoothly. Perform five repetitions.
To pass this test the strength, you have to maintain full control over the movement, rather than using momentum to achieve full range of motion. In addition, you should not have any pain.
Deadlift
Make one repeat deadlift, using the weighting table below. For best results, take one deadlift repeated with an average weight or more.
