Crossfit is a high intense interval training program that
encompasses various exercises that typically include a combination of gymnastics,
Olympic weight lifting and power lifting.
The emphasis is to achieve increased work capacity across broad time and
modal domains. Physical and athletic
prowess is best achieved when targeting the ten general physical skills as
outlined by crossfit:
1.
Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance

Stamina
3.
Strength
4.
Power
5.
Speed
6.
Coordination
7.
Agility
8.
Balance
9.
Accuracy
10.
Flexibility/mobility
All of the above mentioned physical skills are limited or
enhanced by flexibility/mobility. In
order to have great performance or prevent an injury, high demands are placed
on optimal range of motion through all planes of movement. For example, if an individual were to perform
a basic movement such as a deadlift and lacked hamstring flexibility it is
likely that difficulty would be experienced or even injury could occur. During this movement tight hamstrings would
decrease the ability of the athlete to translate their hips back in the start
position thus likely causing a poor lift or compensating for that stiffness and
injuring the lower back.
Total Health of Naples offers specific chiropractic care to
help restore lost range of motion and optimize athletic performance that the crossfit
community demands. Our Naples, FL

crossfit. Whether your condition is an

ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about going to a chiropractor for a while, even though my little sister is going into massage therapy. My friends have been talking about a few chiropractors in Naples, FL, and I haven't made my decision yet, but I really like how this website describes what would actually be the focus of a chiropractic session. Thank you for posting this article!
