Have you ever seen a person suspended for training?Today I would like to introduce you to a special way of sports training - suspension.
Sling exercise training (SET) is an emerging strength training and muscle functional method in recent years, which mainly allows the body to perform various strength training Xi in a highly unstable state, and improves the level of physical function by enhancing core strength and core stability.
As a new concept, SET has played an important role in osteoarticular diseases, sports injuries, nerve injuries, etc. The emphasis is on active training and the two major systems, including diagnostics and diagnostics. The former is performed by gradually increasing the load of open-chain and closed-chain movements, combined with routine examination of musculoskeletal disorders;The latter includes muscle relaxation, increased range of motion, sensorimotor coordination training, open-chain and closed-chain exercises, etc.
Open and closed chains in suspension training.
To understand suspension training, it is necessary to know what open-chain movement and closed-chain movement are.
Several links of the human body are connected in a certain order with the help of joints, which is called the movement chain. On the human body, the upper limbs form the upper limb movement chain by shoulder girdles, upper arms, elbow joints, forearms, wrist joints, hands, etc.;The lower limbs are composed of hip joints, thighs, knee joints, calves, ankle joints, feet, etc., which form the lower limb movement chain. One side of the upper and lower limbs is often thought of as a long chain, with each joint being a chain buckle.
Open Chain Movement (OKC).
Refers to the movement of the proximal immobilization of the limb and the movement of the distal joint. For example, knee flexion and extension in a seated position, with the foot free, moving around the knee with the calf in motion. Traditionally, most free weights or solid strength machines have been open-chain exercises, emphasizing the training of individual muscle groups and making movements relatively easy to master.
Closed-chain movement (CKC).
It refers to the immobilization of the distal limb and the movement of the proximal limb on the basis of fixing the distal limb. Compared with other exercises, the muscles of closed-chain exercise require more coordinated contraction, which can promote joint balance function, improve the coordination of tissues around the joints and enhance joint stability. However, closed-chain exercise involves more joints and muscles, and is not easy to grasp than open-chain exercise.
In suspension exercise**, open-chain exercise generally refers to lifting the proximal limb with a sling to make the muscles relax the movement, and then carry out muscle strength training on the unbalanced surface through its own gravity or external resistance and pulley device, while the closed-chain movement is to drive the change of body parts through suspension, or adjust the length of the suspension rope, adjust the lever, change the torque, and gradually increase the exercise load to promote joint balance function and joint stability.
Intensity adjustment for suspension training.
The intensity ladder training program is a key part of exercise training, and it is necessary to provide patients with reasonable intensity training according to the results of the assessment. In suspension training, the adjustment of step strength is mainly carried out in the following ways:
1.Selection of suspension points:
The position of the suspension point can determine whether the movement is carried out in a non-resistance, resistance-based or assisted manner, and different suspension points can change the intensity of the movement.
2.Selection and application of elastic bands:
Elastic slings can give an extra boost. The magnitude of the boost can change the intensity of the movement and even increase the intensity by applying resistance.
3.Suspension position and suspension height of the limb:
The sling is suspended at the proximal or distal end of the limb, and its leverage force is different, and the intensity of the movement can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the suspended limb.
4.Exercise time:
The length of time determines the intensity of the exercise.
5.Range of motion:
The range of motion is closely related to the intensity. The greater the range, the greater the intensity.
6.Other sports at the same time:
Asking other limbs to move while doing one limb can increase the difficulty and intensity of training.
7.Apply resistance:
Artificial or other means to exert resistance and adjust the intensity.
Suspension system. The suspension system is the core equipment of the SET, which uses muscle activation technology and is designed to improve musculoskeletal conditions for a long time, improve the body's balance and control during movement, and enhance core stability.
The product features are as follows:
Highly flexible modular system of metal brackets for individual training.
Ropes and slings can be freely combined, and the training form can be combined with biofeedback, and the ropes can meet different training requirements according to different specifications.
High-performance yoga mats and column mats help train the core muscle groups of the human torso.
The selection of medical materials, with good anti-slip and wear-resistant characteristics.
At present, the suspension system has been widely used in the Department of Medicine, Pediatrics, Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Sports Medicine, Pain, Postpartum Center and other departments.
