Following the words of Nikolai Bernstein, a motor action — and therefore a sports action — is composed of a large number of movements that must be perfectly coordinated to achieve efficiency. Throughout this Specialized Course, the foundations will be laid for understanding the importance of integrating knowledge of the connective tissue present in the human body and its relevance to movement within different sporting actions.
The content is organized into two main blocks:
The first block introduces the basic concepts of fascia, its importance in movement, and the role of the myofascial system in motor actions, and therefore in sports performance.
The second block explores the relationship between the myofascial system and motor control, providing the foundations of myofascial training.
Upon completing these two content blocks, participants will be able to develop exercise progressions that consolidate the learning of specific technical actions, allowing athletes to apply these actions effectively in various game situations through tension readjustment methodologies. Participants will also learn to understand and structure exercise sequences aimed at addressing potential structural restrictions that may interfere with movement efficiency during sports actions, using myofascial release techniques.
1. Basic Concepts of What Fascia Is and Its Importance in Movement
2. The Role of the Myofascial System in Movement
3. Internal Focus or External Focus? Better Yet, the Transition Between the Two
4. Movement Intentionality: The Key to Efficient Tension Transmission
