John Cunningham Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Can you explain what "load management" is ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Collins Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 The human body likes to be loaded, but too much will cause injury. Think of load as the forces applied to the human body. If you apply minimal load the body adapts and weakens. Think of the astronaughts in space. They have almost no load or force applied and their muscles and bones weaken. On the other spectrum you can have too much force by lifting a heavy weight. You may try to perform an advanced gymnastic exercise and get an injury. Your tissues cannot cope with the excess force and get damaged.With gymnastic bodies you start easy and progress at a rate that is safe. If your body is not adapted to the forces you apply in your training you are not advised to progress. When you can perform the exercise with good form and pain free you move on to harder element. You cannot cheat this law of adaption. Some adapt quicker than others whilst some need to overcome their history of bad adaptions. If you have been inactive for 10 years and have adapted to moving poorly you cannot expect to progress as quick as someone who does not have the same restricted mobility or weak muscles/connective tissue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
